История (Tsuge Gen'ichi):
| 'Kiritsubo' is one of the 'Thirteen Yatsuhashi Song Cycles,' and belongs to the ura category of the kumiuta repertoire. The six songs are not related to one another in terms of subject matter. The text of the first and fourth songs, however, refer to memorable passages from chapters of 'The Tale of Genji - 'The Paulownia Court' (Kiritsubo) and 'The Shell of the Locust' (Utsusemi). Hence, the title, Kiritsubo. |
Поэма (translated by Tsuge Gen'ichi)
| The emperor's vow Of everlasting love With the lady of the Paulownia Court - To share a wing in the sky and A branch on earth - How sad to see it An empty dream, The fate of this transient life. Awake from a dream Of a mid-summer night, I seem to see her still. Longing burns In my heart, like a firefly, And radiates about me. How can I tell it To others? The autumn night Grows old, And the moon sinks Towards the west. How lonely the sound Of the wind in the pines, The roaring of waves, And the cry of a deer. Guided by a boy, The younger brother Of the lady of the Locust Shell, Genji stole into her room Only to find That she had slipped out. How sweet the scent Lingering on her empty robe. Who is that, So late at night, Tapping at my brushwood gate? A visit from The wind blowing down Off the mountain peak, Or the cries Of a solitary water rail? The warbler Spins threads Of green willow As he sings. The warbler On a plum branch Sews blossoms On a bamboo hat. | Kiritsubo no kooi no hiyoku-renri no chigiri mo sadame naki yo no narai tote yume no aida zo kanashiki Mijikayo no yume samete omokage wa natsumushi no mi yori amaru omoi woba ikade hito ni kataran Aki no yo wa fukeyuki tsuki wa nishi ni katamuku matsukaze ya nami no oto shika no koe zo sabishiki Michishirube seshi kogimi no nakadachi ni hikarete yukue mayooka utsusemi no kinu no kaori zo yukazhiki Taso ya koyoi sayo fukete shiba no toboso wo tataku wa onoe-oroshi no otozure ka kuina no tsuguru koegoe ka Aoyagi wo kataito ni yorite nake ya uguisu uguisu no muuchoo kasa wa ume ga eda no hanagasa |
