恋すてふ　わが名はまだき　立ちにけり

人知れずこそ　思ひそめしか

The rumor that I made love someone got about in the capital. 

The love has been just begun only in my heart so that it may be known by nobody. 

composed by Mibu no Tadami

契りきな　かたみに袖を　しぼりつつ

末の松山　波越さじとは

I must have promised as you firmly. 

You said extracting the sleeve wet for the tear of each other. 

"As the sea wave never exceeds Sue-no-Matsuyama and this ground does not change to the sea, I do not change the love to you all the time." 

You must have said so to me. But...

composed by Kiyohara no Motosuke

逢ひ見ての　のちの心に　くらぶれば

昔はものを　思はざりけり

I actually met you, and made love into you. Then I had a still more painful feeling. 

Therefore, now, I have noticed that my feeling before meeting you was not so painful a feeling. 

composed by Gon chunagon Atsutada

逢ふことの　絶えてしなくは　なかなかに

人をも身をも　恨みざらまし

If I did not meet you, I did not blame you and did not regard me as pitiful. 

composed by Chunagon Asatada

あはれとも　いふべき人は　思ほえで

身のいたずらに　なりぬべきかな

Since I was rejected by you, nobody already regards me as pitiful. 

I will die in vain as it is. 

composed by Kentoku kou

由良の門を　渡る舟人　かぢを絶え

ゆくへも知らぬ　恋のみちかな

The captain of Seto in Yura lost steering oar and a destination was not clear anymore. 

My love also had a destination lost. 

composed by Sone no Yoshitada

八重むぐら　茂れる宿の　寂しきに

人こそ見えね　秋は来にけり

There is a house where the vine grew luxuriantly. 

Nobody visits at such a lonely place. 

However, autumn visited here. 

composed by Egyo Houshi

風をいたみ　岩打つ波の　おのれのみ

くだけてものを　思ふころかな

The wave which collides on a rock strongly by an intense wind. 

My heart also breaks so that the wave may break into pieces itself. 

I worry about it all the time these days. 

composed by Minamoto no Shigeyuki

御垣守　衛士のたく火の　夜は燃え

昼は消えつつ　ものをこそ思へ

The fire burned by the guard of a court is burning at night, and is off in the daytime. 

My love also blazes up at night and just sinks in the daytime. 

composed by Oonakatomi no Yoshinobu

君がため　惜しからざりし　命さへ

長くもがなと　思ひけるかな

Once, when I was carrying out for you, I thought that I could die. 

However, since I lived with you, I have thought that I would like to live together as long as possible now.
