История (Takahashi Yujiro):
| A song from the pleasure district of Kagoshima, southern Japan. Its lyrics largely speak for the geisha whose romantic travails are depicted therein. This song belongs to a large extended family which traveled on sailing ships all over Japan, with gradual changes in melody, mood, tempo and lyrics - leading also to the song in Tsugaru Aiya Bushi. The ship that we saw off this morning to the sounds of "Han'ya" - I wonder what harbor it's reached? I spend half the year singing "Han'ya", and the other half sleeping. (spoken:)That young man who's just come in, isn't he good-looking? I try to talk to him, but he runs away. |
