【Lyrics】
Noki no ame tachiyoru kage wa naniwazu ya.
Ashihuku yado no shimeyaka ni.
Katari akaseshi kawaitowa.
Uso ka makoto ka sono koto no ha ni.
Tsuru no hitokoe ikuchiyo mademo.
Sue wa tagai no tomo shiraga.
Cold rain fell today in the morning.
I was having a keiko in a warm room,
As it is near winter the day gets dark very fast.
On such a day felt like playing the [Tsuru no koe].
It is about on a rainy night,
after spending a whole night sheltering from the rain together by chance.
two beame having a relationship which lasts forever.,
after spending a whole night sheltering from the rain together by chance.
A wonderful song of the love at first sight.
Ranking along with the well-known beginners`[Kurokami].
Due to the lucky words in the Tsuru、it is often played in various
ceremonies. It is probably well-known but.
I found an explanation of the song which might be easy to understand.
I will put this in the classic teaching materials library.
Although I am making the same point of another article,
out of different types of shamisen songs, Jiuta is of a higher class.
Even a common person plays it, the refined ryhmes can still be heard..
Jiuta very often expresses scenes of love, and the four seasons.
Tsuru no koe also has a similar sound of the voice of the crane.

[Naniwabito ashi hi huku ya no baisite aredo ono ga tsuma koso tsune mezurasiki]
in "Manyoshu tanka collection" volume 11,
it is said that this sentence is based on the keys of Jiuta.
When I consider it centering on an ancient poem,
I understand that each is connecting well, and it is kept alive well.
It is a good job maybe,
to have found this from the Manyoshu tanka collection for this song.
(An additional note)
This time I had Ms. Rumi Suzuki playing together with me.
While hearing the rain falling calmly outside,
playing with the unique sound of the string
it really comforts one`s soul.
this time what shall I play next...
