Takeda no Komoriuta
竹田の子守唄
| [Genre] | Min'yo |
Historia (Takahashi Yujiro):
| This lullaby, from the village of Takeda near Kyoto, was "discovered" in the 1970s by members of the foku songu (Western-style folk song) group Akai Tori, who arranged it with vocal harmonies, guitars and cell. Their version was a hit throughout East and Southeast Asia. From that version, sung in gentle Western vocal style, the song has entered the world of popular min'yo. I hate being a nursemaid: after Bon the snow flutters down, and the baby cries. Though Bon has come, why should I be happy? I don't have a hempen robe, no waist sash either. (I want to go soon, back to my native village; way over there I can see my parent's home.) |
