No. 12 - Song - Hana and Chorus - "My Samisen"
| Hana: | Many songs a little maiden sings To her samisen, While her heart is throbbing like the strings Of her samisen. Gladly I sang when Love was near, Murmuring softly in my ear, Setting my cheeks aglow As I bent low O'er my samisen. Ah! O my love! if you knew How my heart longs for you! Ne'er was maiden's heart so true Ever since the world began. Far away though you be, Over land, over sea, Come, my beloved, come to me, To your O Hana San. Sad the melody that now I make To my samisen. Hopes are shatter'd as the strings that break On a samisen. Here like a captive bird am I, Freedom and love; for those I sigh; Often the tears will flow As I bend low O'er my samisen. Ah! O my love! if you knew How my heart longs for you! Ne'er was maiden's heart so true Ever since the world began. Far away though you be, Over land, over sea, Come, my beloved, come to me, To your O Hana San. Ah! Ah! |
