Geschichte (Tsuge Gen'ichi):
All six song texts of Wakaba ('Young Grasses') are derived from the 'Lavender' (Wakamurasaki) chapter in 'The Tale of Genji,' which describes the beginnings of Prince Genji's relationship with Murasaki. She was eventually to become his beloved wife, but when he first met her, she was still a young girl in the care of a guardian. Each song contains a quotation from one of the six waka poems exchanged between Genji and the bishop and nun with whom Murasaki lives. |
Gedicht (Übersetzt von Tsuge Gen'ichi)
Since first he saw Those fresh young grasses The dew on his sleeves Has never dried. How lonely Are the nights Of the traveler. As I lie alone Lost in a reverie My dreams give way To a midnight wind That wanders from the hills. The roar Of the waterfall Brings forth my tears. Then, farewell. On my return to the capital I shall tell my friends: 'Hurry to see These rare blossoms On the mountain cherry Before the winds Arrive to scatter them.' When I opened The pine door Of my mountain hermitage, So long shut, And saw a blossom Never seen before, My sleeves were damp With tears of gratitude. Since I saw the color Of a lovely bloom Dimly last evening, My distracted heart Would stay behind On this mountain Like the lingering morning mist. How sad is parting! Our friendship Is still as shallow As the Spring of Shallow Mountain From which one heedlessly drinks, Only to regret it later; Yet for all that I hope it will Be everlasting. | Yukari yoshiaru hatsukusa no wakaba no ue wo mitsuru yori itodo kawakanu sode no tsuyu nao ukimasaru tabine kana Utsutsuna ya hitorine yowa no makura ni fukimayoo miyama-oroshi ni yume samete namida moyoosu taki no oto Iza saraba miyabito ni ykite kataran sakurabana konoma no keshiki kotonaru wo kaze yori saki ni mise baya Kakurega fukaki okuyama no matsu no toboso wo mare ni akete mada minu hana no kaobase wo miru yori nururu koromode Tasokare suguru orikara honokani mieshi hana no iro ni mayoo kokoro wa asagasumi tachiwazuroo zo monouki Itsushika ni kumisomete kuyashi to kikishi yamanoi no asakinagara mo saritoto wa taenu chigiri wo tanoman |
