Uramu tomo mirume mo araji mono yue ni nani ka wa ama no sode nurasuramu - Kinyo Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

うらむともみるめもあらじものゆゑに
何かはあまの袖濡らすらむ

Roma-ji: Uramu tomo mirume mo araji mono yue ni nani ka wa ama no sode nurasuramu
English Translation: Though I gaze on the bay
and grieve, no sea-pine weed is there,
no chance to see you;
why then should I, like a diver,
let my sleeves be soaked through
Meaning: Though I look upon the bay and grieve, there is no sea-pine weed, no chance to meet; why then should I, like a diver, soak my sleeves?
Commentary: Book Eight Love Poems II 481

However much one may resent it, there is no longer any chance to meet, so why should one soak one's sleeves with tears like a diver? Punning on urami, gazing at the bay and resenting, and on mirume, sea-pine weed and a chance to see, the poem admonishes oneself for weeping over a hopeless love.
Following poems 456 and 462 in this book, it laments a love unable to meet through mirume and divers. The next poem, 482, also closes on the words sode nurasu, wetting the sleeves, so the two share the wording of their final lines.

First line, 'uramu tomo', is a pivot word in which uramu means both gazing at the bay and resenting, left in kana. It uses the concessive tomo.
Second line, 'mirume mo araji', is a pivot word in which mirume means both sea-pine weed and a chance to see one's beloved, left in kana. It uses the negative conjectural ji.
Third line, 'mono yue ni', means since it is so, expressing a cause here, since there is none.
Fourth line, 'nani ka wa ama no', means why, like a diver's, the particle ka wa forming a rhetorical question answered by ramu in the final line.
Final line, 'sode nurasuramu', means should the sleeves be wet, closing with the attributive of the conjectural ramu in answer to ka wa in the fourth line. It uses the same words as sode nurasu to wa in the final line of the next poem, 482.
