Tsutsumedomo namida no ame no shirukereba koisuru na o mo furashitsuru kana - Kinyo Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

つつめども涙の雨のしるければ
恋する名をもふらしつるかな

Roma-ji: Tsutsumedomo namida no ame no shirukereba koisuru na o mo furashitsuru kana
English Translation: Though I try to hide,
since the rain of tears I shed
plainly shows to all,
my name as one in love
has rained abroad through the world
Meaning: Though I try to hide it, the rain of my tears is so plain to see that I have spread abroad, like rain, the rumor that I am in love.
Commentary: Book Seven Love Poems I 394

However the poet hides from others' eyes, the tears falling like rain are plain to see, and so he has spread abroad even the rumor that he is in love. With furashi meaning both making rain fall and spreading word, the poem laments a love that cannot be hidden.
Some manuscripts name Fujiwara no Tadataka as the author.
Poem 376 in this book likewise sings of a love that could not be hidden from others' eyes, so that rumor of it spread.

First line, 'tsutsumedomo', means though I hide it, using the concessive domo. Like 'tsutsumu sode' in poem 384 in this book, it sings of hiding from others' eyes.
Second line, 'namida no ame no', means of the rain of tears.
Third line, 'shirukereba', means since it is plain, the realis with ba forming a definite condition.
Fourth line, 'koisuru na o mo', means even the name of one in love.
Final line, 'furashitsuru kana', is a pivot word in which furashi means both furashi, making rain fall, in keeping with the rain of the second line, and furashi, spreading word, left in kana. The perfective tsu is joined to the particle kana.
