Geschichte (Tsuge Gen'ichi):
| This song cycle (kumiuta) consists of an introductory song followed by six songs. The text, based on a Chinese poem (Shang-yang pai fa-jen) by Po Chu-I (772-846), is about Mei-fei, one of the three thousand beauties at the palace of the Emperor Hsuyan Tsung of the T'ang dynasty (8th c.) and how she lost the Emperor's favor when a matchless beauty, Yang Kuei-fei came into the palace. The title means 'The Nightingales at the Palace.' |
Gedicht (Übersetzt von Tsuge Gen'ichi)
| Morning mist in spring At the Hua Ch'ing palace; Deep are the colors Of the willow And the cherry. Beautiful! In scented sleeves of brocade She awaits the emperor. The nightingales At the palace Sing amidst the flowers. Swallows in the palace caves Sing 'Rain is coming.' How envious I am- Would that I could leave All to my heart's desire. Your heart has been taken By that beauty From the house of Yang. But for her You see no one. How resentful I am, Having been put So far aside. At sixteen, In the spring of my youth, I was selected. At sixty, in the fall of my life, I am sent away Growing old and lonely in bed, I weep aloud- Oh wretched life! The beauty of the lotus Has failed. The jewel of dew No longer gleams. Now I want to hide. Should I be seen Even a stranger Would laugh. Wavering on the wall The candle Barely flickers Throughout the night. When I hear the rain Against the windows I am still less Able to sleep. Like flowers And like birds Woman is praised In verse And prose. But in the midst Of these brilliant fashions I alone, wither. | Kasei no haru no asagasumi yanagi sakura no iro fukaku nishiki no tamoto kaori kite miyuki wo matsu zo uruwashiki Miya no uguisu hana ni naki noki no tsubame wa ame wo yobu urayamashiki wa ono ga mi no kokoro no mama ni makasuran Yooka wo ideshi sono iro ni kimi mo kokoro wo madowasare hitori no hoka wa me ni tsukade toozakuru koso urami nare Erabare ideshi nihachi no haru utsusare kite wa musoji no aki munashiki toko ni oikatete ne wo nomi naku zo aware naru Fuyoohana otoroete tsuyu to tama hikari nashi ima wa mieji na mie mo seba utoki hito niwa warawaren Kabe ni somukeru tomoshibi no matataki nokosu yomosugara mado utsu ame no oto kikeba itodo sae nerarenu Tatoete iwaba hana tori fumi ni tsukuri shi ni utoo imayoo-sugata toridori no naka ni wabishiki tada hitori |
