瓜食めば
Uri hameba
When I eat melons
子ども思ほゆ
Kodomo omohoyu
My children come to my mind;
栗食めば
Kuri hameba
When I eat chestnuts
まして偲はゆ
Mashite shinowayu
The longing is even worse.
何処より
Izuku yori
Where do they come from,
来りしものそ
Kitarishi monoso
Flickering before my eyes.
眼交に
Manakai ni
Making me helpless
もとな懸りて
Motona kakarite
Endlessly night after night.
安眠し寝さぬ
Yasui shi nasanu
Not letting me sleep in peace?
