Furinikeri kimi ga miyuki no suzu no sō wa ika naru yo ni mo taezu kikoete

古りにけり君が御幸の鈴の奏は
いかなる世にも絶えず聞こえて

Roma-ji: Furinikeri kimi ga miyuki no suzu no sō wa ika naru yo ni mo taezu kikoete
English Translation: It has grown old now,
the bell rite announced aloud
at your royal progress—
yet in whatever age it be,
I hear it still without cease.
Meaning: The ringing of the bells announced at your royal progress has become a thing of the past—yet whatever the age, I hear it ringing still without end.
Commentary: Miscellaneous Poems 1446

Headnote: "Composed on hearing the bell announcement at an imperial progress when the Sanuki Retired Emperor was reigning"
It seems Saigyō recalled the bell announcement at an imperial progress during the reign of the Sanuki Retired Emperor, Sutoku. The bell rite of your progress has grown old, he says, yet in whatever age, I hear it still without end.
The suzu no sō was the rite of presenting the post bells at an imperial progress. Recalling the splendid rites of Sutoku's reign, the poem seems to hold longing for the emperor who died in Sanuki. Interpretations of the headnote differ.

First line, “furinikeri”: it has grown old, a declaration breaking after the first line.
Second line, “kimi ga miyuki no”: of your progress.
Third line, “suzu no sō wa”: the rite of presenting the post bells; the line has an extra syllable.
Fourth line, “ika naru yo ni mo”: in whatever age.
Fifth line, “taezu kikoete”: still heard without cease, trailing off with lingering feeling.
