A Song of Geibi

 As the boatman returns from the trip along the river, he or she sings this song that has been translated into English below:

　(前歌)　 　清き流れの砂鉄の川に　ヤンサノエ

Through the clear flowing water of the

Satetsu River  

舟を浮かべて棹させば

I float along and row with pole

曇りがちなる心の空も

Clouded mind disperses

晴らしてくれます猊が鼻

Dispelled by the Lion's Snout

（本歌） 　　探ね来て見よ､岩手の里に

A visit to Iwate sees

      　　

　　　　　　世にもまれなるこの景色

　　　 　A pedestal of rare scenery

(後歌)  　　大船渡線に乗り換えしやんせネ

　Travel on the Ofunato line

一関より遠からず

　　　　From nearby Ichinoseki
