なにしおへばあはれとおもふををみなへしたれをうしとかまだきうつろふ

madaki utsurou
Bearing such a name,
She is dear, indeed, I feel, that
Maidenflower, but
Who is it that she does despise so,
That she fades so swiftly?

ちるはるをみなへしはなはあき風のふかむことをばくるしからじな

chiru haru o

Scattered in springtime
Have all the blossoms, so
When the autumn wind
Begins to blow
She suffers not, I think…
