83. 世の中よ 道こそなけれ 思ひ入(い)る 山の奥にも 鹿ぞ鳴くなる 藤原俊成(ふじわらとしなり) There is no escape from the world secular. Trying to escape from it seriously, I enter into the deep mountain insular. Yet I still hear the deer crying woefully, As if remembering the life earthly. By Toshinari Fujiwara Translated by Kota Nakako

83.
世の中よ　道こそなけれ　思ひ入(い)る　山の奥にも　鹿ぞ鳴くなる

藤原俊成(ふじわらとしなり)

(鑑賞)
この世の中には、逃れる道はないものだ、(隠遁しようと)いちずに思いつめて入った山の奥にも、(俗世を)悲しげに鳴く鹿の声が聞こえる

There is no escape from the world secular.
Trying to escape from it seriously,
I enter into the deep mountain insular.
Yet I still hear the deer crying woefully,
As if remembering the life earthly.

There is no escape from the world secular. Trying to escape from it seriously, I enter into the deep mountain insular. Yet I still hear the deer crying woefully, as if remembering the earthly life.
