　 立つ春の　今年今日の日何かしら　行手明るき心地こそすれ

This day, this year
As spring begins,
Somehow inside do
Feel I indeed brightness,
Cheerfulness ahead.

　 　 年毎に　祝ふ春立つ此のよき日　ことに祀らむ神の御前に

Auspicious day, do we
Celebrate the beginning of
Spring here before the altar
Where God is enshrined.		 Page 10, #2, S4-326C.
　 　 　 　 　
　 　

今日はしも　今年春立つよき日なり　吾業開くる始とぞ思ふ
7 　 This very day is the
Auspicious time that begins
Spring this year—I do feel
Now is when
I begin my task. 		 Page 10, #3, S4-327A.
