Adatara no ne ni fusu shishi no aritsutsumo are wa itaramu nedo na sarisone

安達太良の嶺に伏す鹿猪のありつつも
我れは至らむ寝処な去りそね

Roma-ji: Adatara no ne ni fusu shishi no aritsutsumo are wa itaramu nedo na sarisone
English Translation: On Adatara,
beasts lie down upon the peaks,
ever in their place:
I will always come to you—
do not leave our bed, my love.
Meaning: As the deer and boar always lie on Adatara's peaks, so I will keep coming to you—do not leave our bed.
Commentary: Book Fourteen Azuma Poems 3428

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Sōmon (Love Exchanges)"
As the deer and boar of Mount Adatara always return to the same lair, the singer says, he will keep coming, so the beloved should wait without leaving their bed. It is a simple figure from mountain life, drawn from the habits of wild beasts.
The left note reads "The three poems above are from Mutsu Province," and this is the last of them. Mount Adatara straddles present-day Nihonmatsu and neighboring areas in Fukushima.
The poet is unknown. The Azuma uta are thought to have been sung among the people of the eastern provinces, and they are marked by plain, open-hearted expression mixed with local dialect.

First line, "adatara no": Mount Adatara in Mutsu; Adatara is also sung in 3437 of this book.
Second line, "ne ni fusu shishi no": "Shishi" are game such as deer and boar; the line is hypermetric. The first two lines form a preface.
Third line, "aritsutsumo": "Continuing just so," the same word seen in 3360 from Izu.
Fourth line, "are wa itaramu": "Itaramu" means I will reach you, the same word as "itaramu to zo yo" in 3381 from Musashi.
Final line, "nedo na sarisone": "Nedo" is a bed, and "na ... sone" pleads against leaving it.
