春くればいとかのやまのいと桜風にみだれて花ぞ散りける
haru kureba
itoka no yama no
itozakura
kaze ni midarete
hana zo chirikeru | When spring comes,
Upon Itoka Mountain
The weeping cherries
Whipped into confusion by the wind
Do scatter blossom! |
Created with Soan.
何ごとを思ひ乱れていとかやま心ぼそげにをしか鳴くらむ
nanigoto o
omoimidarete

oshika nakuramu |
What is it that
Has his thoughts in such confusion?
On Itoka Mountain in
Sad solitude
A single belling stag… |
'Simply moving and elegant'
