Waka poems were a popular art form in the Heian period, enough that the famous poet Fujiwara no Sadaie and Emperor Go-Toba sought to put together a selected collection of chosen verses.
I have only autumn leaves as an offering 
for the gods watching over me.
solo puedo ofrecer hojas de otoño
a los dioses que velan por mí.
Tenho apenas folhas de outono
para oferecer aos deuses para que olhem por mim.
