Awa to miru… Waka from The Tale of Genji, chapter 13 “Akashi”

Awa to miru
Awaji no shima no
aware sae
Nokuru kumanaku
sumeru yo no tsuki
泡と見る
淡路の島の
あはれさへ
残るくまなく
澄める夜の月

Irohauta

irohauta
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.
About Iroha, or いろは歌.
