みなもとのかねまさ
淡路島 かよふ千鳥の 鳴く声に
幾夜寝覚めぬ 須磨の関守
歌意
淡路島から通ってくる千鳥の鳴き声があまりにもの悲しいので、その声に何度目を覚まさせられたことだろう、須磨の関守は。
English Translation
Guard of Suma's Gate,
From your sleep, how many nights
Have you waked at cries
Of the plaintive sanderlings,
Migrant from Awaji's isle?
From your sleep, how many nights
Have you waked at cries
Of the plaintive sanderlings,
Migrant from Awaji's isle?
