このさとにたびねしぬべし桜ばなちりのまがひに家路忘て

kono sato ni
tabine si-nu besi
sakurabana
chiri no magai ni
ieji wasure-te

In this village
It seems I'll make my traveler's rest
The cherry blossoms
In the chaos of their falling
I've forgotten my way home.

I've forgotten my way home: Some editions interpret this instead as "I give no thought to returning home."
