募る想いが今宵も 恋の雫を睫毛(まつげ)の先で 薄く溶かした墨にて 筆を繰り綴(つづ)ることには 嗚呼(ああ)　愛しやな 嗚呼　切なやな 文車(ふぐるま)に乗せた恋の便りは 届くことも無く　塵へと還る 文車に乗せた恋の便りは 打ち捨てられて　くれなゐに燃ゆ 心乱れて落つるは 泪の色の恨みつらみよ 吟(ぎん)ずる詩歌(うた)は夜想の 叶わぬ恋の鎮魂歌(れくいえむ)かな 嗚呼　恋しやな 嗚呼　佗(わび)しやな 文車に乗せた恋の便りは 届くことも無く　塵へと還る 文車に乗せた恋の便りは 打ち捨てられて　くれなゐに燃ゆ

Ever-growing affection, tonight once more Drops of love at the tips of my eyelashes With thin ink dissolved from my ink stick I handle (1) the brush, composing words like Ah! my beloved! Ah! woe is me! The letter of love I placed on the fuguruma Never reaching its destination, returns to dust The letter of love I placed on the fuguruma Thrown away, it burns in crimson Heartbroken, I shed Tear-colored bitterness The verses I recite, are they perchance A nocturnal requiem of hopeless love? Ah! how I miss you! Ah! how miserable I am! The letter of love I placed on the fuguruma Never reaching its destination, returns to dust The letter of love I placed on the fuguruma Thrown away, it burns in crimson
