龍都亭時吉
明きる聲もさほひて　初日影とさのほのめく酉の春の南
Tatsunomiyakotei Tokiyoshi
The voices of dawn vie with another. The first sunlight breaks and the rooster~s crest gleams in the light. A propitous southern spring of the Year of Rooster.

ゐて強き氷もたさはとけかうと力を合すとりのはる風　
Kachintei Nezame
The birds flapping wings and the spring breeze are joining forces to melt the thick hard ice.

初日影とさかにみせて白とりの聲よりしらむ元日の空
Sanpōtei Tō
The first light of dawn sines upon the cock's comb like scarlet, and as the white bird's cry rings out the New Year's sky grows bright.
