伊勢
いせ
難波潟 短き芦の ふしの間も
逢はでこの世を 過ぐしてよとや
歌意
難波潟の芦の、あの短い節の間のような、ほんのわずかな時間でさえ逢わずして、私にこの世を過ごしてしまえと言うのですか。
English Translation
Even for a space
Short as joint of tiny reed
From Naniwa's marsh,
We must never meet again
In this life? This, do you ask?
Short as joint of tiny reed
From Naniwa's marsh,
We must never meet again
In this life? This, do you ask?
