Chastushka (English spelling)

Japanese: チャストゥーシカ(英語表記)chastushka
Chastushka (English spelling)
A form of Russian folk song. It is the newest form, having been established in the second half of the 19th century. In some regions, it is called chastaya or chastukh. It was first sung in rural areas, but after the emancipation of the serfs in 1861, it spread to urban factories that absorbed migrant peasants. The verse usually consists of four lines (of which the second and fourth lines usually rhyme) and is sung at a fairly fast tempo. It may be accompanied by an accordion or balalaika, and male and female dancers often step to the accompaniment of the singer, either separately or facing each other.

Japanese:
ロシア民謡の一形式。最も新しい形式で,19世紀の後半に成立した。地方によってはチャスタヤ,チャストゥーハなどとも呼ばれる。はじめ農村でうたわれたが,1861年の農奴解放後,出稼農民を吸収した都市の工場などにも普及した。一連がふつう4行からなり(そのうち2行目と4行目の脚韻を合わせるのが通例),かなり速い調子でうたわれる。アコーディオンやバラライカの伴奏がつくこともあるし,歌唱に合わせて男女の踊手が別々に,あるいは向かい合ってステップをふむことも多い。
