Roma-ji: Ugoki naki Iwakurayama ni kimi ga yo o hakobiokitsutsu chiyo o koso tsume
English Translation: On Iwakura,
the mountain that does not move,
our sovereign's reign
we bring and set down, and pile
up a thousand ages there.
Meaning: Upon Mount Iwakura, which nothing can shake, we carry and set our sovereign's reign, piling up a thousand ages.
Commentary: Book Ten Kagura Songs 600

Headnote: "Fūzoku songs for the Great Thanksgiving Festival of the first year of Anna: Mount Iwakura"
The poem sings of carrying the sovereign's reign onto unshakable Mount Iwakura and piling up a thousand ages. Laying the steadfast reign over the firmness of the rock in the place name Iwakura, "rock storehouse," it celebrates that reign piling up over a thousand ages. Poem 612, for the Great Thanksgiving Festival of the first year of Tenroku, also takes Mount Iwakura as its topic and uses the same words, "ugoki naku" and "tsumamu," so the same device is handed on across the two festivals.
The headnote, "Fūzoku songs for the Great Thanksgiving Festival of the first year of Anna," shows that the poem was offered at the Great Thanksgiving Festival held in the first year of Anna upon the accession of Emperor Reizei. At this festival, poems working in the place names of the provinces chosen as Yuki and Suki were offered, and from here to 608 poems follow whose topics are the names of mountains and shores in those provinces.

First line, "ugoki naki," means "unshakable," speaking of the firmness of the rocks of Mount Iwakura. It is the same word as the fourth line of 612, "ugoki naku nomi."
Second line, "Iwakurayama ni," means "upon Mount Iwakura," the place name given as the topic.
Third line, "kimi ga yo o," means "our sovereign's reign."
Fourth line, "hakobiokitsutsu," means "carrying and setting down again and again," with "tsutsu" expressing repetition.
Final line, "chiyo o koso tsume," means "we pile up a thousand ages," with the binding particle "koso" resolved by the perfective form "tsume." It answers the final line of 612, "tsumamu to zo omou."
