色は匂へど 散りぬるを
我が世誰ぞ 常ならむ
有為の奥山 今日越えて
浅き夢見じ 酔ひもせず
As flowers are brilliant but [inevitably] fall,
who could remain constant in our world? [No one could]
Today let us transcend the high mountain of transience,
and there will be no more shallow dreaming, no more drunkenness.

これは本当にありがたいんだ！！！
すばらしい日本語のすばらしいイロハのすばらしい意味！！！
This is an excellent reading. There’s a point in it that got me thinking–you used the modern pronunciation of 今日 (“きょう kyou”), so the meaning is intact and everything; but I think it might’ve been read “けふ (kefu)” when it was composed. Just a note. Great voice for reciting this one! ^_^
Thank you for your feedback :)
It might’ve, yes. When けふ is read aloud today, it’s always きょう.
