A performance of the Suzuka magouta, an Mie min'yō, with lyrics and a brief explanation. 三重県民謡の鈴鹿馬子唄の演奏と歌詞、簡単な説明です。 -- Meaning of the lyrics: Although the Sakashita post town is sunny, the Suzuka Pass ahead is cloudy, and it is raining in the Tsuchiyama post town. When Sekino Koman thinks of Tamba Yosaku, it feels cloudy even when it is sunny, because her tears look like rain.
-- Description: Suzuka Pass is a difficult section of the Tokaido, a major transportation artery, and the song was sung by a mago (a person who transports passengers or cargo on a horseback without using a carriage) who traveled through it. There is a popular belief that the Suzuka magouta became the basis for the oiwake group of min'yō, but this seems doubtful. In the lyrics, "Sekino Koman" refers to a woman whose romance with Tamba Yosaku is depicted in ningyō jōruri (puppet theater) and kabuki.
