.名月やけふはあなたもいそがしき
meigetsu ya kyo^ wa anata mo isogashiki
David’s English
harvest moon--
tonight even you
are busy!
David comment
Is Issa implying that the moon is occupied with business elsewhere and therefore is unable to appear (i.e. it's a cloudy night)? Shinji Ogawa assisted with this translation.
