Kawara no Sadaijin
Michinoku no
Shinobu moji-zuri
Tare yue ni
Midare some ni shi
Ware naranaku ni
Minamoto no Toru
Like Michinoku prints
Of the tangled leaves of ferns,
It is because of you
That I have become confused;
But my love for you remains.

Michinoku prints (Shinobu moji-zuri) means a kind of dyeing which form intricate pattern.
