Sahyōe no suke sadafumi uta’awase 11

Love without meeting

Left (Win)

あふことのかたきしなればしらなみのたちよるかずはわれのみぞしる

au koto no
katakishi nareba
shiranami no
tachiyoru kazu wa
ware nomi zo shiru
Meeting you is
A distant cliff, so
The whitecaps’
Numbers breaking there
I alone do know.

あはむとはおもひわたれどふじかはのすまずはつひにかげもみえじを

awamu to wa
omoi wataredo
fujikawa no
sumazu wa tsui ni
kage mo mieji o
To meet her
Passionately did I cross, yet
The Fuji River
Was so clouded that at the last
Her shape I could not see at all…

逢ふ事のかたきしなれば白波の立ちよる数はわれのみぞしる

Meeting you is
A distant cliff, so
The whitecaps’
Numbers breaking there

佗びぬればしひてわすれんとおもへども心よわくも落つるなみだか

wabinureba
shiite wasuren to
omoedomo
kokoro yowaku mo
otsuru namida ka
I suffer, so
I’ll make myself forget,
I think, yet
Is it my fragile heart that
Drips with tears?
