発祥 (柘植 元一):
| The title literally means 'Genji in the Four Seasons: Old Version.' (Sometimes this kumiuta is called 'Original Shiki-Genji' or Yatsuhashi's Shiki-Genji.') Composed by Yatsuhashi Kengyo, the founder of the tradition, this song cycle was treated as its 'most secret' piece. Consequently this kumiuta is thought to preserve the old invention of Yatsuhashi's style. The text of each of the first four songs is based on a typical scene representing one of the four seasons in 'The Tale of Genji;' namely, spring from 'Butterflies' (Kochyo), summer from 'The Orange Blossoms' (Hanachirusato), autumn from 'The Typhoon' (Nowaki), and winter from 'The Morning Glory' (Asagao. The fifth songs, acts as an epilogue, and is not directly derived from 'The Genji.' The song cycle is preceded by a short instrumental introduction (maebiki) of 8 hyoshi ('beats' or eight measures). After the second song, an interlude of 39 hyoshi is inserted. |
詩 (【翻訳者】 柘植 元一)
| On the lake Of the spring garden, Colorful boats In the Chinese fashion Rowed in the bright spring sun. Flowers scent our sleeves Soaked with waterdrops From the oars. A koto Harmonizes With the breeze from A lunar laurel tree. Irresistible music! Just For the occasion The cuckoo sings. Morning and evening dew Glitters In unearthly colors, Chimes like a Jeweled garden. An autumn wind Rends the trees and Flowers into a thousand pieces. Snow On the hedge of a Neglected palace - Like orange blossoms in full bloom, Or white-crested waves - No matter how often I sweep it away, New flurries pile up. Through countless ages The imperial grace Shall never end. Blessed with his mercy - As great as Mt. Tsukuba, As dense as foliose hills - The houses of all his people Shall be prosperous. | (maebiki) Haru no omae no ikemizu ni karameku fune no yosooi wa urara ni miete kogu sode no sao no shizuku ni hana kaoru Tsuki no katsura no oikaze ni shrabe awasuru tsuma-goto no kikisute gataki orikara ya moyooshi-gao no hototogisu (gaku) Asayuu tsuyu no hikari mo yo no tsune naranu iroiro tomoto kagayaku senzai no chiji ni midaruru akikaze Aretaru yado no kakiio ni furitsumu yuki no tachibana wo haraedo moto no sue no matsu nao tatsu nami no omokage Chiyo yorozuyo no yo mo saki kimi no megumi wa tsukubayama hayama shigeyama kage takaku nigioo tami no ie ie |
