Yoroshinae waga se no kimi ga oikinishi kono Se no yama o imo to wa yobaji

よろしなへ我が背の君が負ひ来にし
この背の山を妹とは呼ばじ

Roma-ji: Yoroshinae waga se no kimi ga oikinishi kono Se no yama o imo to wa yobaji
English Translation: Fittingly it is
that you, my dear lord, have come
bearing it this far—
this the Mount of Se, the name
"my love" I will not call it.
Meaning: How fitting—this Mount Se, whose name you, my lord, have borne all the way here: I will not call it "Wife."
Commentary: Book Three Miscellaneous Poems 286

Headnote: "A poem by Kasuga no Kurabito Oyu, composed at once in reply"
This answers Tajihi no Kasamaro's question on the spot. Since Mount Se has so aptly borne the name se all along, he says, he will not call it "Wife"—gently turning aside the other's jest. Linking "my lord" (se no kimi) and "Mount Se" (se no yama), it is a quick and witty reply.
The poet, Kasuga no Oyu, was originally a monk named Benki; in Taihō 1 (701) he returned to lay life and was given the name Kasuga no Kurabito Oyu. He later served as Assistant Governor of Hitachi, among other posts.

First line "Fittingly it is": yoroshinae is an adverb meaning "suitably."
Second line "that you, my dear lord": se no kimi is a term for a close man, here Tajihi no Kasamaro, echoing the mountain's name.
Third line "have come bearing it this far": ou means to bear a name.
Fourth line "this the Mount of Se" answers the preceding poem's fourth line.
Fifth line "'my love' I will not call it": ji expresses negative intention, closing the reply.
