I've used the same site for translations for all of my writeups (Mostow). Sometimes I've used Porter's in my Poem of the Day comments if I didn't like how Mostow interpreted them, but yeah never for these ones. The meanings are usually close enough and I don't usually go into great depth explaining the poems beyond face value in these writeups.

I'm actually not 100% sure what the translations are used in the show, but I'm fairly certain that the CR translations are styled to preserve the "same syllables". I believe /u/walking_the_way mentioned that.

Generally, when looking at these poems, I (and /u/combo33) have been going with dedicated professional translations (Mostow, Porter, MacMillan).

Mostow's book can be found here and all the translations are available for free here, if you're curious about some other poems.

Edit: Porter's is here. I think Combo33 has a physical copy of MacMillan's.
