Översättning enligt Andrew N. Nelson
(i The Modern Reader's Japanese-English Character Dictionary)

Colors are fragrant, but they fade away. In this world of ours none lasts forever. Today cross the high mountain of life's illusions [i.e., rise above this physical world], and there will be no more shallow dreaming, no more drunkenness [i.e., there will be no more uneasiness, no more temptations].

Översättning enligt Basil Hall Chamberlain
(i Japanese Things)

Though gay in hue, [the blossoms] flutter down, alas! Who then, in this world of ours, may continue forever? Crossing to-day the uttermost limits of phenomenal existence, I shall see no more fleeting dreams, neither be any longer intoxicated.
