pines in my garden
bring the moonlit night
of this mountain village



　何事も　なくて春立つ　あしたかな
nanigoto mo nakute haru tatsu ashita kana

nothing special happened
and tomorrow
spring will start



　大蟻の　畳をあるく　暑さかな
ooari no tatami o aruku atsusa kana

big ants
walking over my tatami mats -
such a heat




ashigaru soldier

　足軽の　かたまつて行く　さむさ哉
ashigaru no katamatte iku samusa kana

the common foot soldiers
walking in a close group -
such a coldness



　凩や　日に々々　鴛の美しき
kogarashi ya hi ni hi ni on no utsukushiki

oh withering wind -
with every passing day
the mandarin ducks get more beautiful


Japanese quote from MASA





真丸に神馬の肥る四月かな

the sacred horse
all round and fat -
it's april !
