A poem by Ōtomo no sukune Katami.
石上降るとも雨につつまめや妹に逢はむと言ひてしものを
isonokami
puru tomo ame ni
tutumame ya
imo ni apamu to
ipitesi mono wo |
At Isonokami in
Furu, the rain may fall
But will it interfere?
For to meet my darling
Have I said I would… |

礒神ふるとも雨にさはらめやあはむといもにいひてしものを

Furutomo ame ni

aFamu to imo ni
iFitesi mono wo |
At Isonokami
Though the rain may fall
Should I let it hinder me?
For to my darling that we’ll meet
Is something I have said! |
