Tsugaru Jongara Bushi
津軽じょんがら節
| [Genre] | Min'yo |
| [School] | Min'yo |
History (Takahashi Yujiro):
| "Jongara Song of Tsugaru"; jongara is meaningless but perhaps imitates the rhythm. As usual in Tsugaru songs, the virtuosic vocal is matched by pyrotechnic Tsugaru-jamisen accompaniment. The introduction and interludes are improvised. Verse 1 reflects the fierce pride in local songs. Verse 2 speaks from the standpoint of a touring professional folk singer. "Jongara Bushi", pride of the province: the young folks sing it, the master accompanies, and as the girls dance, the rice plants dance too. Parted for now; until we meet again, even if I travel a thousand miles, although the customers may change, my heart will remain the same. Okuni jiman no Jongara Bushi o / wakaishu utatte aruji no hayashi, musume odoreba inaho mo odoru / / ichido wakarete nido au made wa / tatoe kono mi wa senri no tabi ni, kayku ga kawaredo kokoro wa onaji. |
