Текст и перевод песни Man Arai - 万葉恋歌 ああ、君待つと

万葉恋歌 ああ、君待つと

ああ 君待つと わが恋ひをれば
わがやどのすだれ すだれうごかし
秋のかぜ吹く

ああ 君が行き けながくなりぬ
山たづねたづね むかえか行かむ
待ちにか待たむ

ああ かくばかり恋ひつつ 恋ひつつあらずは
ああ たかやまの いわねしまきて
死なまし 死なまし ものを

ああ 君なくは なぞ身よそはむ
くしげなるつげの つげのをぐしも
とらむともはず

ああ かくばかり恋ひつつ 恋ひつつあらずは
ああ たかやまの いわねしまきて
死なまし 死なまし ものを

ああ ありつつも 君をば待たむ
うちなびくなびく わが黒髪に
霜のをくまでに

ああ 君待つと わが恋ひおれば
わがやどのすだれ すだれうごかし
秋のかぜ吹く
秋のかぜ吹く
秋のかぜ吹く

Man'yō Koika: Ah, I Wait for You

Oh, as I wait for you, my loving one,
The blinds of my house, they softly sway,
Autumn winds now blow.

Oh, that you would come, my lovely one,
Through the mountains I would go, to greet you,
Wait and yearn for you.

Oh, if only I could cease this longing,
Oh, if I could hide away within the rocks,
I would die, I would die, my love.

Oh, without you, my love, what use is life?
Even the boxwood comb, so fine and fair,
I would not touch it now.

Oh, if only I could cease this longing,
Oh, if I could hide away within the rocks,
I would die, I would die, my love.

Oh, I will wait for you, my love,
Until my raven-black hair,
Is white with frost.

Oh, as I wait for you, my loving one,
The blinds of my house, they softly sway,
Autumn winds now blow,
Autumn winds now blow,
Autumn winds now blow.
