夜をかさね戸無瀬の方に見ゆる火は鵜舟に灯すか篝なりけり
yo o kasane tonase no kata ni miyuru hi wa ubune ni tomosu kagari narikeri |
Night upon night Towards Tonase Can I see the lights; Kindled upon the cormorant boats Are torches. |
夜をかさね戸無瀬の方に見ゆる火は鵜舟に灯すか篝なりけり
yo o kasane tonase no kata ni miyuru hi wa ubune ni tomosu kagari narikeri |
Night upon night Towards Tonase Can I see the lights; Kindled upon the cormorant boats Are torches. |
戸無瀬河岩間に立たむ筏師や浪に濡れても暮を待つらん
tonasegawa iwama ni tatamu ikadashi ya nami ni nuretemo kure o matsuran |
At the river Tonase Bursting from between the rocks The raftsman If he would be wet with waves Should surely wait for evening? |
Fujiwara no Toshinari
