2. It is a forbidden love, because he is married. That´s why everything should be done in secret. Kurumaya-san comes back but forgets the reply. She sings: "How foolish I am to trust such a fool", which is not shown in this video.

She askes a Kurumaya-san whom she knows well to take a love letter to the man she loves.The Kurumaya-san asks his name. She replies:"fool, you know him!". The Kurumaya-san takes the letter to him.

probably I misunderstood one part.I think the name of the addressee is written on the letter. So when she changes voice she's actually doing the part of the rickshawman, who makes an unpleasant comment on the name of adressee once he has read it. Maybe he's jelous...This songs leaves room for interpretations! Dareka ga tasukete kudasai! :)

kurumatya san is the rickshawman.The song is about a woman that asks to a rickshawman to deliver a letter secretly and to come back with the reply, always in secrecy.Anyway she doesn't tell him the name of the person to whom the letter is addressed (I don't know why). In the second part of the song (cut in this video), the rickshawman come back without the reply. He actually opened and read the letter.Thanks for uploading! Great song
