- Shin Kokin Wakashu
Fukuru made nagamureba koso kanashikere omoi mo ireji aki no yo no tsuki
It is because I gaze until the night grows late that it is sad. I will put my heart into it no longer: the autumn moon.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Princess Shokushi
Kumo wa mina haraihatetaru akikaze o matsu ni nokoshite tsuki o miru kana
The autumn wind has swept every cloud away; I leave it behind in the pines and look at the moon.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Fujiwara no Yoshitsune
Tsuki dani mo nagusamegataki aki no yo no kokoro mo shiranu matsu no kaze kana
On an autumn night when not even the moon can console me, the wind in the pines blows, knowing nothing of my heart.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Fujiwara no Yoshitsune
Samushiro ya matsu yo no aki no kaze fukete tsuki o katashiku Uji no hashihime
On her narrow mat, as the autumn wind of a night of waiting deepens, she lies on a single sleeve of moonlight: the lady of the bridge at Uji.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Fujiwara no Teika
Aki no yo no nagaki kai koso nakarikere matsu ni fukenuru ariake no tsuki
The length of an autumn night gains one nothing after all: while I waited it wore away, and here is the moon of dawn.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Fujiwara no Tadatsune
Yukusue wa sora mo hitotsu no Musashino ni kusa no hara yori izuru tsukikage
Out where it ends, sky and plain are one on Musashi moor, and the moonlight rises out of a field of grass.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Fujiwara no Yoshitsune
Tsuki o nao matsuramu mono ka murasame no hareyuku kumo no sue no satobito
Are they waiting for the moon still, the villagers out at the far edge of the cloud that is clearing after the shower?
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Kunaikyo
Aki no yo wa yadokaru tsuki mo tsuyu nagara sode ni fukikosu ogi no uwakaze
On an autumn night the moon that takes lodging on my sleeve is only dew; and over it blows the high wind through the reeds.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Minamoto no Michitomo
Aki no tsuki shino ni yadokaru kage takete ozasa ga hara ni tsuyu fukenikeri
The autumn moon that lodged among the bamboo has climbed high, and on the field of dwarf grass the dew has deepened with the night.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Minamoto no Ienaga
Kaze wataru yamada no io o moru tsuki ya honami ni musubu kōri naruramu
The moonlight that leaks into the hut in the hill field where the wind goes over: is it ice formed on the waves of the ripening grain?
Shin Kokin Wakashu - The Former Chancellor
Kari no kuru Fushimi no oda ni yume samete nenu yo no io ni tsuki o miru kana
In the little fields at Fushimi, where the geese come down, I wake from a dream and look at the moon from the hut where no one sleeps.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Jien
Inaba fuku kaze ni makasete sumu io wa tsuki zo makoto ni moriakashikeru
At this hut where I live, leaving all to the wind in the rice leaves, it is the moon that truly leaks in, and keeps the watch till daybreak.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - The Daughter of Fujiwara no Shunzei
Akugarete nenu yo no chiri no tsumoru made tsuki ni harawanu toko no samushiro
My heart has gone wandering, and through the sleepless nights the dust has gathered on the thin mat of my bed, which not even the moon sweeps clean.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - The Daughter of Fujiwara no Shunzei
Aki no ta no karine no toko no inamushiro tsuki yadoredomo shikeru tsuyu kana
The straw mat I doze on in the autumn field: the moon lodges there, and what lies spread on it is dew.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Onakatomi no Sadamasa
Aki no ta ni io sasu shizu no toma o arami tsuki to tomo ni ya moriakasuramu
The thatch of the poor man's hut in the autumn field is coarsely woven: with the moon leaking through it, he must be keeping watch till dawn.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Fujiwara no Akisuke
Aki no iro wa magaki ni utoku nariyukedo tamakura naruru neya no tsukikage
The colours of autumn grow distant from the hedge; and the moonlight in my chamber has grown used to the arm I pillow my head on.
Shin Kokin Wakashu - Princess Shokushi
