君我由久 道乃奈我弖乎 久里多々祢 也伎保呂煩散牟 安米能火毛我母
君が行く 道の長手を繰り畳ね 焼き滅ぼさむ 天の火もがも

Ame no Fi ( the heaven's fire) is based on the story of an old Japanese couple who became separated. Around the year 740, a couple married in Miyako, but for political reasons, their marriage was rejected by the government. The husband was banished from Miyako (ancient capital) and sent to a distant place where his wife could not follow him.
The wife in Miyako and the husband in exile exchanged waka poems, which were a sad alternative to letters. There is a very famous poem that the wife wrote to her husband.
The long distance of the road you travel is folded and burned to death by the fire of heaven.
(Kimi ga yuku michi no nagate wo kurutatane yaki horobosamu ame no himogomo)
I wish I could trace this long road you are on, and burn it down with the fires of heaven.
This is a passionate description. (translation by Mitsuyuki Takada)
