Uguisu no kozo no yadori no furusu to ya ware ni wa hito no tsurenakaruramu - Kokin Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

鶯の去年の宿りの古巣とや
我には人のつれなかるらむ

Roma-ji: Uguisu no kozo no yadori no furusu to ya ware ni wa hito no tsurenakaruramu
English Translation: Like the warbler's nest,
where last year it made its home,
an old abandoned nest—
is that why, I wonder, you
are so cold to me now?
Meaning: Do you think of me as the warbler's old nest from last year? Is that why you are so cold to me?
Commentary: Book Nineteen Miscellaneous Forms 1046

Headnote: "Topic unknown"
The poet, grown stale in a lover's eyes, compares himself to last year's nest that the warbler no longer visits. The homely comparison to a bird's nest gives the poem its haikai quality. Following the spring colt of the preceding poem, it again likens an abandoned self to something familiar.
The author is unknown and is recorded as "Anonymous."

First line, "Uguisu no," names the warbler, the bird also sung in 1011 at the head of the haikai poems in this book.
Second line, "kozo no yadori no," means where the warbler lodged last year.
Third line, "furusu to ya," means thinking of me as an old nest, with interrogative "ya."
Fourth line, "ware ni wa hito no," means you, toward me.
Fifth line, "tsurenakaruramu," uses "ramu" to infer a cause and is attributive in response to "ya."
