旅上
Journey
poem by Sakutaro Hagiwara [萩原朔太郎] (1886~1942, Japan)
translated by D. Guyver Britton & Yukinobu Kagiya from SJK-1030/1 "Kyoko Ito sings Collection Songs of Ikuma Dan" booklet
ふらんすへ行きたしと思へども
[I'd go to France! I would go to France. Had I but the chance.]
ふらんすはあまりに遠し
[A lack a day! 'Tis much too far away!]
せめては新しき背廣をきて
[So let me, then, put on a new sui and go just where I please!]
きままなる旅にいでてみん。
[I'll buy a new suit, a new suit, and go where I please!]
汽車が山道をゆくとき
[And as we wind up through the forest trees,]
みづいろの窓によりかかりて
[As the train climbs the steep pass, the steep mountain pass,]
われひとりうれしきことをおもはむ
[All alone, my head against the window of the train,]
五月の朝のしののめ
[I shall think of all those happy times again.]
うら若草のもえいづる心まかせに。
[I shall think happy thoughts like shoots of green grass That spring up at dawn after rain.]
Eiko Maenaka [前中榮子], soprano
Chiharu Hanaoka [花岡千春], piano
Recorded: March 17 & 18, 2004 at Mitaka City Arts Center, Tokyo
This piece was composed in 1951 and first performed by Harue Miyake. The lyrics were written by Sakutaro Hagiwara. There is a tendency to approach the pentatonic scale, and changes are also seen in the rhythmic aspect. The accompaniment around "kisha ga yamamichi o yuku toki (And as we wind up through the forest trees)" is also charming.
by Naomi Monma from SJK-1030/1 "Kyoko Ito sings Collection Songs of Ikuma Dan" booklet
1951年の作品で、三宅春恵が初演した。歌詞は、萩原朔太郎の作である。五音音階に接近する傾向もあり、リズム面での変化もみせる。《汽車が山道をゆくとき》あたりの伴奏の音型は、ほほえましさを誘いもする。
(門馬直美、SJK-1030/1『伊藤京子による團伊玖磨の歌曲』解説書より)
