やっと叩いて叩いて三走目お馬が通る	yatto tataite tataite sansoume onma ga tooru	This is the third run after the holidays. Here comes a horse, clear the way!^[3]

Translation Notes

↑ “御後がよろしいようで” (lit. it seems the next speaker is now ready) is an expression used by rakugo performers when they finish their storytelling and have to hand over to the speaker coming up next.
↑ This isn’t a typo. The line comes from お茶の子さいさい (lit. as easy as eating up Japanese teacakes. Equivalent to the English “a piece of cake”), and it repeats the part of the phrase for some reason.
↑ “お馬が通る” should be a reference to Kobayashi Issa’s famous haiku: 雀の子そこのけそこのけお馬が通る (lit. Oh little sparrows, make way, make way! A horse is about to pass), as well as horse racing (“叩いて叩いて三走目” before the phrase looks like so).
