История (Tsuge Gen'ichi):
| This kumiuta was composed by Mitsuhashi, who went to Edo (the present Tokyo) and attempted for the first time to disseminate sokyoku of the Ikuta School there. A prolific composer of kumiuta, he left at least eight of his own compositions and one restoration of an older song cycle (Hashihime). Tamakazura is based on six chapters (22-27) of 'The Tale of Genji.' The text of the first song is derived from a waka poem by Prince Genji contained in 'Jeweled Chaplet' (Tamakazura); the second song is derived from 'The First Warbler' (Hatsune); the third song from 'Butterflies' (Kocho); the fourth from 'Fireflies' (Hotaru); the fifth from 'Wild Carnations' (Tokonatsu); and the sixth from 'Flares' (Kagaribi). |
Поэма (translated by Tsuge Gen'ichi)
| What has drawn me To the jeweled chaplet, Kin to the evening faces? Was it the dew? Our bond Has sustained my yearning For so long- How could it be transient? The warbler who sang so elegantly The first song of spring, Left home long ago; Now she has come back To visit her old nest In the waiting pine. How peaceful and calm Is New Year day! Butterflies flutter about The cherry blossoms and yellow rose On the bamboo fence; The dance of the butterflies Lasts but a moment Yet I never tire of gazing At the sight, And the day comes to an end. The firefly, Saying nothing But with his heart in flames Of single-minded love, Threw light on her face Through a thin silk cloth. Since then her image has Lived in his memory. The wild carnations Blooming profusely On the bamboo fence; Their constant color recalls to him That first beloved dew Of long ago, Treasured secretly Deep in his heart. The smoke From my heart, Twisting and rising With the watch-fire Grows to an undying flame As the night wears on. Who knows where My love will lead? | Ikanaru suji to yuugao no tsuyu no yukari no tamakazura mukashi wo kakete koiwataru enishi mo ikade asakaranu Hatsune yukashiki uguisu no sudachishi matsu no ne wo toeba tani no furusu no mezurashiku haru no hikage zo nodokeki Sakura yamabuki toridori ni hana no magaki ni tobichigoo kochoo no mai wa hakanaku mo akazu kureyuku keshiki kana Koe wa sede mi wo nomi kogasu hotaru koso usuki hitoe no nasake nite sore ka to nakari wasurarenu omokage zo yukashiki Saki midaretaru mase no uchi ni tokonatsukashiki nadeshiko no moto no kakine wo hitoshirezu kokoro ni kakete shinoberi Kagaribi ni tachisoo koi no kemuri no yo to tomo ni taenu honoo to narinuru wa yukue mo shiranu omoi kana |
