Mountain’s yonder side
I would there were a house!
For when I do despise the world
There would I hide away! |

A mountain spring:
Shallow are my feelings
Not, yet
Just in image, alone
Do I catch a glimpse of him… |

いつもきくふもとのさとゝおもへどもきのふにかはる山おろしの風

Ever does one hear it,
Dwelling at the mountain’s foot
I feel, yet
’ Tis changed since yesterday:
The wind storming down the mountain. |
