左京大夫道雅
さきょうのだいぶみちまさ
今はただ 思ひ絶えなむ とばかりを
人づてならで 言ふよしもがな
歌意
今はもう、あなたをきっぱり諦めてしまおうということだけを、人づてではなく、直接あなたに会って言う方法があればいいのになあ。
English Translation
Is there now no way,
But through others' lips, to say
These so fateful words,--
That, henceforth, my love for you
I must banish from my thoughts?
But through others' lips, to say
These so fateful words,--
That, henceforth, my love for you
I must banish from my thoughts?
