История (Tsuge Gen'ichi):
| The title means 'Song of the Distant Sky.' One of the 'Thirteen Yatsuhashi Song Cycles,' this song cycle is considered to be his masterpiece. His originality is most significant in this piece. A new tuning of the koto was introduced here, possibly for the first time. Thus, the tuning was named kumoi-joshi after the title of the piece. The texts of all six songs deal with unsuccessful love, but each complete in itself and they are not interrelated. After the fifth song, an instrumental interlude, 'Kin no shirabe' is inserted. |
Поэма (translated by Tsuge Gen'ichi)
| Since we can meet Only secretly My heart Is filled with longing. Chika no Shiogama (1) Is a place near only in name The distance which separates us Consumes my soul and body. Will you never leave my heart? And yet your heart Long ago left me. Not about my lot Do I worry But about yours. The man who has become The talk of the town. Only rarely Do we meet Only tears Dampen my sleeve. On the morrow We shall be separated; Tears flow At the thought. Idle thoughts In the rain Call back days gone by. Adding to my melancholy The night wind through the pines Rustles Then taps On my lowly cottage door. Like a boat without a rudder I drift, Aimless and alone. The sound of waves Crashing on The rocky shore Breaks my heart, Into a thousand pieces. Every one knows that Even the thunder god, Roaring in the distant sky, Strikes from afar. This being so, Why should my love Not be fulfilled By the gods? (1) This place name literally means 'Nearby-Salt-Kiln.' | Hitome shinobu no naka nareba omoi wa mune ni michinoku no chika no shiogama no nomi nite hedatete mi wo zo kogaruru Wasururuya wasuraruru waga minoue wa omowarede adana tatsu uki hito no sue no yo ikaga arubeki Tamasaka ni oototemo nao nuremasaru tamoto kana asu no wakare wo kanete yori omoo namida no sakidachite Ame no uchi no tsurezure mukashi wo omoo ori kara aware wo soete kasu no to wo tataku ya matsu no soyokaze Mi wa ukifune no kajiwo tae yorube wa sarani araiso no iwa utsu nomi no oto ni tsurete chiji ni kudakuru kokoro kana (Kin no shirabe) Kumoi ni hibiku narukami mo otsureba otsuru yo no narai saritote wa waga koi no nadoka wa kanawazarubeki |
