A painted figure in a tower beneath the trees,
Selling a gold hairpin for wine, drunk amid the last of spring.
The whip's silken tassel and the carriage's shadow hurry away,
Ten miles of cherry blossoms, ten miles of dust.
Smoke from cooking fires rises among a thousand households and green willows,
Cherry shoots herald spring in April.
Along the banks of the Sumida River for ten miles,
In the spring breeze and fine rain, watch the flower boats.
