朝にありてわが代はつきじ天の戸や出づる月日のてらむかぎりは

izuru tsukihi no
teramu kagiri wa | In the mornings
My reign will never end, I feel,
While from the gates of Heaven
The sun and moon emerge
To shine! |

When will every field
Burst into bloom?
When the fleeceflower, for
Deer sleeping in the mornings
A paddock does become! |
