NIBU NO TADAMINE
860 – 920 Japan


Koi su tefu
Waga na wa madaki
Tachi ni keri
Hito shirezu koso
Omoi-someshi ga.


OUR courtship, that we tried to hide,
Misleading is to none;
And yet how could the neighbours guess,
That I had yet begun
To fancy any one?


Unmissverständlich
unser Werben, welches wir
verbergen wollen.
Wie kann der Nachbar ahnen,
dass ich schon verzaubert bin?
