壬生忠見
みぶのただみ
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
歌意
恋をしているという私の噂が、早くも立ってしまった。誰にも知られないようにひそかに思い始めたばかりなのに。
English Translation
Though, indeed, I love,
Yet, the rumor of my love
Had gone far and wide,
When no man, ere then, could know
That I had begun to love.
Yet, the rumor of my love
Had gone far and wide,
When no man, ere then, could know
That I had begun to love.
