The dewy path far off the worlds bustle
The dewy path, leading to the teahouse.
Miwataseba
hana mo momiji mo
nakerikeri
ura no tomaya no
aki ni yûgure
Looking around:
Neither cherry blossoms
Nor red hued marple
By the reed hut
In the autumn dusk.

roji wa tada
ukiyo no hoka no
michi naru ni
kokoro no chiri no
nado chirasan
Even though the dewy path
is nothing other than a
path away from the world's bustle
it frees the heart
from its impurity.
