Roma-ji: Tamadare no amime no ma yori fuku kaze no samuku wa soete iren omoi o
English Translation: Through the woven gaps
of this jeweled bamboo blind
the wind blows in—
if it's cold, then let me add
the fire of my longing too
Meaning: If the wind that blows in through the gaps in the jeweled blind is cold, I will send in my burning longing along with it.
Commentary: Book Sixteen Miscellaneous Poems II 1157

Headnote: "When several of us had gone to a woman's place and were talking, she said, "Oh, what a cold wind!""
The poet says that if the wind blowing through the gaps of the blind is cold, he will send in the fire of his longing along with it. Seizing on the woman's remark about the cold wind and letting "omoi" echo "hi," fire, he playfully conveys his love by offering to warm her with burning feeling.
According to the headnote, several people had gone to visit a woman and were talking, and she said, "Oh, what a cold wind!"
The poet is listed as anonymous, and the composer's name has not come down to us.

The first line, "Tamadare no," means "of the jeweled blind," an elegant word for a bamboo blind.
The second line, "amime no ma yori," means "through the gaps in the weave," with an extra syllable.
The third line, "fuku kaze no," means "the wind that blows in."
The fourth line, "samuku wa soete," means "if it is cold, adding," taking up the woman's words in the headnote.
The last line, "iren omoi o," means "I will send in my longing," with "hi" in "omoi" echoing fire. It is inverted with the fourth line.
