So, first of all, that "first" probably does not mean "first". "初い" (ubui) means "innocent" (and I had to consult Japanese-Japanese dictionaries to figure that out). That word is somehow missing in Japanese-English dictionaries.

As for the other word, according to a Japanese-Japanese dictionary, its main meaning using this kanji is "concern/worry about an expected bad situation" - that's why "sorrow", "anxiety", "fear", "distress" are usually given as translations. It can als mean "melancholy" or "depressed" or something like that, but then it's usually written with another kanji.
