A performance of the Kiyobushi, an Akita min'yō, with lyrics. 秋田県民謡の喜代節の演奏と歌詞、簡単な説明です。 <br />-- <br />Meaning of the lyrics: <br />Hanging on the wall is a scroll. It depicts the Seven Lucky Gods. <br />In the garden there are pine trees and bamboos [these symbolize good fortune], and cranes and turtles [these symbolize longevity] are playing gracefully here. <br />The crane's call is a celebratory sound. The first song I will sing this year is about Urashima Tarō. <br />I take out a silver cup and pour the sake from a golden sake bottle like a spring. <br />I wish you all a long life and want everyone to drink it. <br />-- <br />Description: <br />Kiyobushi is a song performed during auspicious celebrations.
