はなをらでわれぞややまふきのはなるつゆをたまにてけたじとおもへば

hana orade
ware zo ya yamau
ki no ha naru
tsuyu o tama nite
ketaji to omoeba
Leave the blossom unplucked, and
As it is, I will, that
From the tree’s leaves
The dewdrop gems
Will not disappear, or so I wish…

いづこともわかずはるさめふりやまふきのはなべてももえにけるかな

izuko to mo
wakazu harusame
furiyamau
ki no ha nabete mo
moenikeru kana
Everywhere
Without exception, springtime showers
Have ceased to fall, so
All the leaves upon the trees
Have budded!
