おのが妻こひわびにけり春ののにあさるきぎすの朝な朝ななく

asaru kigisu no
asana asana naku | For his own mate
He suffers with love
In the springtime meadows
Searching for grain, the pheasant
Cries morn after morn. |
Created with Soan.
Pheasants.

Peak a pheasant
Morn after morn
Is ever longing for his mate—
O, how sad his sobbing cries! |
Created with Soan.
山鳥のはつをの鏡影ふれて影をだに見ぬ人ぞ恋しき

A pheasant,
With a mirror on hempen cord
Will touch his form;
But without even a glimpse
Dearly do I love you! |
