誰(たれ)をかも 知る人にせむ 高砂(たかさご)の 松も昔の 友ならなくに
藤原興風(ふじわらおきかぜ)
(鑑賞)
いったい誰を親しい友人にしようか、長寿の高砂の松も、昔の友ではないのだから
Whom shall I make my close friends,
As passed away and deceased
Many of my old friends?
The pine trees in Takasago long-lived,
Cannot replace them intimately associated.
By Okikaze Fujiwara
Translated by Kota Nakako
(Appreciation)
Whom shall I make my close friend now? Many of my old friends passed away and long-lived pine trees in Takasago cannot replace them.
