Prince Ōtsu

Prince Ōtsu (大津皇子 Ōtsu-Ōji, 663–25 October 686 (3rd day, 10th month, Shuchō-1 year)) was a Japanese poet and the son of Emperor Temmu.

Background

His mother was Princess Ōta whose father was Emperor Tenji. He was therefore the younger full-blood brother of Princess Ōku. His consort was Princess Yamanobe, daughter of Emperor Tenji, thus his cousin. His life is known from the Nihon Shoki, and his personality emerges through such poetry anthologies as Kaifūsō and Man'yōshū.

As a poet, Ōtsu is best known for the letters he exchanged with Lady Ishikawa.

Prince Ōtsu was a popular and able figure who was a likely successor of his father to the imperial throne, but was forced to commit suicide after false charges of rebellion were laid against him by Empress Jitō in order to promote her own son, Prince Kusakabe, to the position of crown prince.

Poems

Two examples of his work are below, including the death poem—

Poem sent by Prince Ōtsu to Lady Ishikawa

Gentle foothills, and
in the dew drops of the mountains
soaked, I waited for you –
grew wet from standing there
in the dew drops of the mountains.

Tu Y Yo

by: Prince Royce

Yo se que tus amistades hablan mal de mi
Dicen que soy malo para ti
Lo que sucede es entre tu y yo
Es un problema de dos esto es nuestra relacion
They tell you that I might be going around cheating
Dont believe them girl they're just hating
Te meten cosas en la mente no no
no le pongas attencion
Tu y yo enamorados corazon
te garantizo mi amor
Tu y yo solo tu y yo solos
que no interfiera nadie
no podran alejarme nooo
Tu y yo los dos sonando de amor
Tu sabes que eres para mi
Tu y yo los dos no tendremos dolor
Tu sabes que soy para ti
Y que lo sepa el mundo que nuestro amor debe vivir
Y aunque se opongan sabes que por ti soy capaz de morir
Tu eres para mi
Yo soy para ti
Te entrego mi vida y mi amor hasta el fin (x2)
Royce
Oooooo whooa yea
Too strong
Recuerdo la primera vez que yo te vi
en la escuela yo te conoci
yo te cantaba desde el corazon
se todo mi valor para confesarte mi amor
Y desde ese dia nuestro amor crecio
inseparable eramos los dos
Una promesa hicimos tu y yo
que nada destruya este amor
Tu y yo enamorados corazon
te garantizo mi amor
Tu y yo solo tu y yo solos
que no interfiera nadie
no podran alejarme nooo
Tu y yo los dos sonando de amor
Tu sabes que eres para mi
Tu y yo los dos no tendremos dolor
Tu sabes que soy para ti
Y que lo sepa el mundo que nuestro amor debe vivir
Y aunque se opongan sabes que por ti soy capaz de morir
Damn girl you know I love you
Nothing is going to tear us apart
Y que lo sepa el mundo que nuestro amor debe vivir
