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.
My body and heart are both dried 
out from waiting for love.
Mi cuerpo y alma
se secan al esperar el amor.
Meu corpo e coração
queimam, ansiando por amor.
