Note that though we may 
be apart, if I am to hear
that you pine for me as the Inaba 
mountain pines, I shall return to you
Ariwara no Yukihira

Aunque estemos separados,
si en la cima del Monte Inaba
escuchase el sonido
de los pinos creciendo,
volvería a tu lado de nuevo.

Nítido é que, mesmo
 estando distantes, 
se eu ouvir
 que enfraqueces por mim 
como os pinheiros 
da montanha Inaba, 
retornarei a ti.
