Kimi o nao uramitsuru kana ama no karu mo ni sumu mushi no na o wasuretsutsu - Shui Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

君をなほ怨みつるかな海人の刈る
藻に住む虫の名を忘れつつ

Roma-ji: Kimi o nao uramitsuru kana ama no karu mo ni sumu mushi no na o wasuretsutsu
English Translation: I have, after all,
resented you once again;
the fisherfolk's seaweed,
the name of the creature there,
I keep forgetting it.
Meaning: I have resented you once again after all, forgetting time and again the name of the little creature in the fisherfolk's seaweed—"warekara," my own fault.
Commentary: Book Fifteen Love Poems V 986

Headnote: "Sent to the Minister of Ono no Miya"
The poem says: I have resented you after all, forgetting again and again the name of the creature that lives in the seaweed the fisherfolk gather, "warekara," that is, "my own fault." Using the name of a creature, it wittily sings of a heart that cannot help resenting the other even while knowing that love's pain is self-inflicted.
According to the headnote, it was sent to the Minister of Ono no Miya, that is, Fujiwara no Saneyori.
The author, "Kan'in no Ōkimi", was the daughter of Minamoto no Muneyuki, a grandson of Emperor Kōkō. She was also associated with Prince Motoyoshi and Fujiwara no Morotada, and her name appears in the Tales of Yamato.
It draws on the Kokinshū poem by the Handmaid Fujiwara no Naoiko: "Like the warekara that lives in the seaweed the fisherfolk gather, I shall weep aloud, for it is my own doing, but I will not resent the world."

First line, "kimi o nao," means "you, after all."
Second line, "uramitsuru kana," means "how I have resented," with "kana" exclamatory. The poem breaks here. It is the same as the final lines of 953 and 973 in this book, "uramitsuru kana."
Third line, "ama no karu," means "that the fisherfolk gather."
Fourth line, "mo ni sumu mushi no," means "of the creature that lives in the seaweed," using its name, "warekara," in the sense of "ware kara," my own fault. It shares the words "ama no karu mo ni sumu mushi no" with the first and second lines of the next poem, 987.
Final line, "na o wasuretsutsu," means "forgetting its name again and again," with "tsutsu" expressing repetition. By inversion it gives the reason for the upper verse afterward.
