人間五十年の究り
それさへ我にはあまりたるに
ましてや
浮世の月見過しにけり末二年
元禄六年八月十日五十二歳
Ningen goju nen no kiwamari
sore sae ware niwa amari taru ni
mashite ya
Ukiyo no tsuki misugosi ni keri sue ninen
Genroku roku nen hachi gatsu tōka gojūni sai
"Life is 50 years"
Even it is long for me
Still more
Moon on the floating life
I have let it pass
for last two years
10. 8. 6 Genroku. 52yo.
His last poem from "Saikaku Okimiyage (西鶴置土産)".
