Taira no Kanemori Poem translation from screen

[MacShrike]

Ohaio,

I'm working on learning japanese Kanji and Japanese culture.
A friend of mine bought a wooden screen (replica) with a Kanemori (900ad) poem on it and asked me If I could try to translate.

I have been trying but the free calligraphy is too difficult for me to decipher.
Using the internet I have been able to find the translation to The Shinobi poem as placed in the hyakunin issu.
It is supposed to be poem number 40. In the actual contest I think it was number 19 or 20. The "infamous" one where his contestant lost due to a fumble.

I now believe that this picture does not have the poem nr 40 text on it at all.
For, I have found many reproduction/recreations that I can semi translate but I find no correlation to the kanji on the picture he send me.
So now I am thinking this is a replica with a drawing of Kanemori but with a different poem than nr. 40 from the 100 poems.

Perhaps It contains extra text about the Hyakunin contest and/or artistic variations to the Kanji that are well beyond my current skills.
Could someone perhaps stoop so low (kudasai? =)) and help me translate this or even point me to a place on the internet where I can find a more readable version of these texts?

I have included a photo of the picture that I cannot seem to translate and a variation of this that I can verify to be the Kanemori poem he told me it should be.

Highest regards, Doozo joroshiku,

Mac

So.. there is no actual poem on the screen?!
I looked at poem #00261 of the waka website, it is from Kanemori, but not the poem 040 from the hyaku issu right? Thats about the hidden love and blushing. Or am I mistaken?

Majestic-san is talking about the right/second picture. What's written on the left/first picture is exactly the poem you mentioned.

忍ぶれどいろに出にけりわがこひは物やおもふと人のとふまで

so desu! Thank you. I posted that picture to show how they didn't compare.
The poem on the screen is hard to translate, for me, probably because it is so old.
Even Google translate spits it out phonetically
I found several different translations online.
Beeing extremely presumptuous, I think it might reflect on his non-poetic job.
I thought it might mean something like:"I'm loosing years of my life to people claiming praise for just having done what they were supposed to do".
Just a feeling I got after reading about his life.

Thank you very much for answering

I found a relatively literal translation in a translator's blog.

Has been unintentionally exposed my feeling of love to the extent that I am asked if I'm in lovesickness, despite my efforts to conceal it.

Yes. Thank you. :bow-emoticon
But I'm looking for:
Sorry couldn't seem to accessoires it on my in computer, I took a picture

Ah, I misinterpreted your word "poem on the screen". The poem is written in historical kana orthography. The modern kana version is;

数うれば我が身に積もる年月を送り迎うとなに急ぐらん
Kazoureba waga mi ni tsumoru toshitsuki o okuri mukau to nani isogu ran

 

[MacShrike]

=) Thank you!
That is soo helpful.

So, I'm guessing, that Kazoureba is a means of saying: "seven flowers of autumn"? Meaning perhaps: "in my older days"? Or is is it "counting the years I have lived"?

And the rest translates to "What hurry when I send you the years that I haven't accumulated yet"
I find Japanese poems very difficult to understand yet immensely beautiful and profound.

So could it perhaps mean something like? :"Seeing how many Autumns I have lived already, I am not rushing through the remaining ones".

Thank you very much for your help and highest regards,

Ps) Is there a good place where I can lookup this historical kana orthography?

Counting the years, they pile on me, one after the other
Why the rush to prepare for the new year?

It is hard to interpret, I think maybe for modern Japanese people too. It is a reflection of age, and of the great rush that women are in at year's end to prepare for meals and guests during the new year period.
