儀同三司母
ぎどうさんしのはは
忘れじの 行末までは かたければ
今日を限りの 命ともがな
歌意
「いつまでも忘れない」という将来までの約束は守り難いものですから、その言葉を聞いた今日を最後として、死んでしまいたいなあ。
English Translation
If "not to forget"
Will for him in future years
Be too difficult;--
It were well this very day
That my life, ah me! should close.
Will for him in future years
Be too difficult;--
It were well this very day
That my life, ah me! should close.
