Monkeys 猿
あさまだきならのかれ葉をそよそよと外山をいでてましら鳴くなり
| asa madaki nara no kareba o soyosoyo to toyama o idete mashira nakunari | ‘Tis not yet morn, but The withered oak leaves Rustle, as To the distant mountains go The monkeys hooting. |
Akinaka
KKS XIX: 1067
Composed on the topic of monkeys howling from the mountain passes on a day when the Cloistered Emperor had gone to the Western River.
わびしらにましらな鳴きそ足引きの山のかひある今日にやはあらぬ
| wabisira ni masira na naki so asiFiki no yama no kaFi aru keFu ni ya wa aranu |
So sadly, O Monkeys, howl not! Leg-wearying The mountain valleys are, yet Today, there is no point! |
