生まれせばと思ふとき雁かへる。

umarezariseba to omou toki kari kaeru

when I think
I should never have been born -
departing geese

鏡台にぬきし指輪や花の雨
kyoudai ni nukishi yubiwa ya hana no ame

on the dressing table
the ring removed from my finger -
cherry blossom rain

座りたるまま帯とくや花疲れ
suwaritaru mama obi toku ya hanazukare

without standing up
I untie my obi-
blossom viewing fatigue

春さびし波にとどかぬ石を投げ
haru sabishi nami ni todokanu ishi wo nage

spring loneliness -
it falls short of the surf
this stone I toss
