Crickets

Left

ゆふさればこゑふりたててきりぎりすつゆをさむみやよもすがらなく

yū sareba
koe furitatete
kirigirisu
tsuyu o samumi ya
yomosugara naku
When the evening comes
Louder grow the cries
Of the crickets—
Is it the dewdrops’ chill that
Has them cry the night away?

Right (Win – Tie in a certain text)

きりぎりすあきのよぶかくおもふかなねざめてきけどこゑのたえねば

kirigirisu
aki no yobukaku
omou kana
nezamete kikedo
koe no taeneba
Crickets
Deep on autumn nights
Do fill my thoughts!
I awaken and listen, yet
Their cries then fade away…
