Ōmi ni ka ari to iu naru Karehiyama kimi wa koekeri hito to nekusashi - Kinyo Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

近江にかありといふなるかれひ山
君は越えけり人と寝くさし

Roma-ji: Ōmi ni ka ari to iu naru Karehiyama kimi wa koekeri hito to nekusashi
English Translation: In the land of Ōmi
there is, they say, a mountain
called Karehi;
you have crossed it, I can tell—
you smell of sleeping with another
Meaning: There is said to be a Mount Karehi in Ōmi; you have crossed it, I see, for you smell of having slept with someone else.
Commentary: Book Eight Love Poems II 503

You have crossed Mount Karehi, said to be in Ōmi, the poet says, for you smell of having slept with someone else. In the name Karehi the poem seems to echo kare, drifting apart, and karehi, dried rice, teasing and reproaching a man who has come from another woman. Much about the meaning of the words is unclear.

First line, 'Ōmi ni ka', means in Ōmi, the particle ka expressing uncertainty.
Second line, 'ari to iu naru', means that is said to be, using naru, the attributive of the hearsay nari.
Third line, 'Karehiyama', is the name of a mountain said to be in Ōmi, seeming to echo kare, a heart drifting apart, and karehi, dried rice.
Fourth line, 'kimi wa koekeri', means so you have crossed it, the poem breaking after the fourth line with the exclamatory keri.
Final line, 'hito to nekusashi', means you smell of sleeping with another, kusashi expressing a smell, closing with irony.
