Evening blossom on a mountain path.
道とほみけふこえくれば山ざくら花のやどりを我にかさなん

hana no yadori o
ware ni kasanan | Along distant roads
Today I come travelling, so
O, mountain cherries,
Among your blossom shelter
Won’t you lend me? |

Cherry blossom in the rain.
けふも又花にくらしつ春雨の露のやどりを我にかさなん

hana ni kurashitsu
harusame no
tsuyu no yadori o
ware ni kasanan | Today once more
I have dwelt beneath the blossom, so
From spring showers
Dewfall a shelter
Won’t you lend me? |
Created with Soan.
