Aha Bushi (安波節)



This one is another common starting song for begging sanshin players because of its easy to remember rhythm. The lyrics are also slow, and paced very closely to the strumming of the sanshin, so new singers should also be able to pick it up fairly quickly.

If you haven’t noticed, this song is sung with two breathes per line!
The first line of the song goes:

[breathe] kariyushi nu ashibi [breathe] hari uchi haritikaraya
(Basically, you only break once, and right before “hari.”)

Give the song a listen and you’ll notice the breathes.


Lyrics:
一、かりゆしぬ遊び ハリ うち晴りてぃからや
 (かりゆしぬあしび はり うちはりてぃからや)

二、夜ぬ明あきてぃ太てぃ陽だぬ ハリ 上がる迄までぃん
 (ゆぬあきてぃてぃだぬ はり あがるまでぃまでぃん)

三、夜ぬ明あきてぃ太てぃ陽だや ハリ 上がらわんゆたさ
(ゆぬあきてぃてぃだや はり あがらわんゆたさ)

四、乙午時までぃん ハリ 御祝さびさびら
(みんまどぅちまでぃん はり うゆうえさびさびら)

五、安波ぬ真はんたや ハリ 肝むすがりどぅくる
(あはぬまはんたや はり ちむすがりどぅくる)

六、奥くぬ松下や ハリ 寝になし所どぅくる
(うくぬまちしちゃや はり になしどぅくどぅくる)


Romanji Version:
kariyushi nu ashibi hari uchihari tikaraya

yu nu aki ti ti da nu hari agaruma di madin

yu nu aki ti ti da ya hari agarawan yutasa

minmaduchi madin hari uyuesa sabi sabira

aha nu ma hantaya hari chimusu gari dukuru

uku nu machi shicha ya hari ni nashi duku dukuru
