Waga fune no kaji wa na hiki so yamato yori koikoshi kokoro imada akanaku ni

我が舟の楫はな引きそ大和より
恋ひ来し心いまだ飽かなくに

Roma-ji: Waga fune no kaji wa na hiki so yamato yori koikoshi kokoro imada akanaku ni
English Translation: The oars of my boat—
do not pull them yet, I pray,
for the heart that longed
all the way from Yamato
is not yet satisfied
Meaning: Do not ply the oars of my boat yet—the heart that longed for this place all the way from Yamato has not yet had its fill.
Commentary: Book Seven Miscellaneous Poems 1221

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Composed on Journeys"
The poet begs the rowers not to put out yet, for he has not had his fill of the scenery he has longed for all the way from Yamato. His reluctance to leave a beautiful place is frankly expressed.
It is one of the seven poems by Lord Fujiwara, singing of deep attachment to the beauty of the sea of Kii.
The author, "Fujiwara-kyō," is an honorific title for a senior noble of the Fujiwara clan. He is said to be either Fujiwara no Fusasaki or Fujiwara no Maro, and there is no settled view as to whom it refers.

The first line, "The oars of my boat," refers to the boat he is aboard.
The second line, "do not pull them yet," is a prohibition with "na ... so," and the poem pauses here.
The third line, "all the way from Yamato," gives the starting point.
The fourth line, "for the heart that longed," refers to the yearning he has carried.
The final line, "is not yet satisfied," gives the reason by inversion and has an extra syllable.
