Хирагана - Звуки - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

The poem Iroha-uta (song of flowers), written in the 10th century, uses all hiragana characters once, with the exception of n ん. Below is the Cyrillic reading of the original hiragana; modern Japanese readings that differ from the ancient ones are indicated in parentheses.

Note that the last line begins with a eliminated kana (ve ゑ)

いろはにほへと

ちりぬるを

わかよた—れそ

つねならむ

うゐのおくやま

けふこえて

あさきゆめみし

ゑひもせす

I ro ha ni ho he to　(Iro wa nyoedo)

ti ri nu ru vo (tirinuru o)

wa ka yo ta re so (waga yo tare dzo)

tsu ne na ra mu (tsune naran)

u vi no o ku ya ma (ui no okuyama)

ke fu ko e te (kyo: koete)

a sa ki yu me mi si (asaki yume miji)

ve hi mo se su (hey mo sezu)

Beauty shines. Moment -

And everything withered away.

In our world, what, tell me,

Lasts forever?

The edges of the world of vanity

Now go over

Stop dreaming empty dreams

And get drunk from them!

Translation by N. I. Conrad.
