Shunmin Akatsuki wo Oboezu
The temperature was so pleasant today's morning that I overslept.
It is shunmin akatsuki wo oboezu (春眠暁を覚えず).
Since shun (春) means "spring," min (眠) means "sleep," akatsuki (暁) means "dawn," oboe/oboeru (覚える) means "to memorize/feel," and zu (ず) is a negative suffix, the literal meaning of this proverb is "spring sleep does not let you feel the dawn."
In other words, spring nights are so comfortable for sleeping that you do not notice the dawn and tend to oversleep.
This proverb comes from Chinese poetry.

春眠暁を覚えず
今日は気温が心地よく、つい寝坊してしまいました。
「春眠暁を覚えず」です。
「春」は "spring"、「眠」は "sleep"、「暁」は "dawn"、「覚え/覚える」は "to remember/feel"、「ず」は否定語であるため、このことわざの文字通りの意味は "spring sleep does not let you feel the dawn" となります。
つまり、春の夜は眠り心地が良いので、朝が来たことに気が付かず、つい寝過ごしてしまうということです。
このことわざは、中国の漢詩に由来します。
