Shunzei-kyō no musume-shū 18

こぎはなれゆく月影ぞあはれなる虫明の松の風の音かな

kogihanare
yuku tsukikage zo
awarenaru
mushiake no matsu no
kaze no oto kana
Drifting ever
Further, the moonlight
Moves my heart with
The pines at Mushiake
Sounding in the wind! [i]

もしほ汲袖の月かげをのづからよそにあかさぬ須磨の浦人

moshio kumu
sode no tsukikage
onozukara
yoso ni akasanu
suma no urabito
Scooping seaweed salt,
With moon-drenched sleeves:
Naturally,
This brings no light to
The folk of Suma Bay.

Right.

蟲明の松としらせよ袖の上にしぼりしまゝの波の月かげ

mushiake no
matsu to shiraseyo
sode no ue ni
shiborishi mama no
nami no tsukikage
‘At Mushiake
I pine!’ – tell him that;
From my sleeves
Have I ever wrung
Waves of moonlight.
