Yomosugara nurete wabitsuru karakoromo Ausakayama ni michimadoi shite - Gosen Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

夜もすがら濡れてわびつる唐衣
逢坂山に道まどひして

Roma-ji: Yomosugara nurete wabitsuru karakoromo Ausakayama ni michimadoi shite
English Translation: All the night long
drenched and in misery,
this Chinese robe of mine—
for on the Hill of Meeting
I went astray and lost my way
Meaning: All night long my fine robe was drenched and I was miserable, for I lost my way on the Hill of Meeting.
Commentary: Book Ten Love Poems II 622

Headnote: "Sent to a woman."
The poet says that, having lost his way on Ausaka, the Hill of Meeting, he spent the whole night miserable, his robe soaked. He entrusts his grief at passing the night without meeting her, though he set out to do so, to losing his way on a mountain whose name contains "au," to meet.
According to the headnote, it was sent to a woman. 607 in this book also sings "yomosugara," sharing the lament of passing the whole night without meeting.
The poet is listed as "anonymous," and the composer's name has not come down to us.

The first line, "Yomosugara," means "all night long," the same word as the third line of 607 in this book.
The second line, "nurete wabitsuru," means "soaked with dew and tears and miserable."
The third line, "karakoromo," is a fine robe, and the poem pauses here.
The fourth line, "Ausakayama ni," means "on Mount Ausaka," a poetic place on the border of Ōmi and Yamashiro, whose name echoes "au," to meet.
The last line, "michimadoi shite," means "having lost my way," inverted with the first three lines.
