Harugoto ni matsu no midori ni uzumorete kaze ni shirarenu hanazakura kana - Kinyo Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

春ごとに松の緑に埋もれて
風に知られぬ花桜かな

Roma-ji: Harugoto ni matsu no midori ni uzumorete kaze ni shirarenu hanazakura kana
English Translation: Every spring again,
buried in the green of pines
so deep and hidden,
never noticed by the wind,
the cherry blossoms bloom on
Meaning: Every spring, buried among the green of the pines, the cherry blossoms stay unknown to the wind.
Commentary: Book One Spring Poems 37

Cherries blooming deep within a grove of evergreen pines escape the wind's notice and so are not scattered. Against the usual poems lamenting cherries blown away by the wind, this one rejoices in cherries protected by the pines.

First line, 'harugoto ni', means every time spring comes.
Second line, 'matsu no midori ni', is the color of the evergreen pine needles, contrasted with the color of the blossoms.
Third line, 'uzumorete', means covered and hidden.
Fourth line, 'kaze ni shirarenu', means unknown to the wind, personifying the wind.
Final line, 'hanazakura kana', means cherry blossoms, ending with the exclamatory kana. The next poem, 38, also pairs pine and cherry, forming a couple.
