Mijika yo no As darkness sets in Ne no hi suru On the first day of the rat,
fukeyuku mama ni on a short summer’s night, nobe ni komatsu o we set off to pluck pine shoots
Takasago no is what I now hear hiki-tsurete in the fields this spring,
mine no matsukaze the wind through the pines haru no yamaji ni and while on the mountain path
fuku ka to zo kiku on the peak of Takasago? uguisu zo naku we hear the song of the warbler!
