I was unable to find an album that this song is from but I believe the artist and song title are correct. This clip is taken from Samurai Champloo Episode 20 (Elegy of Entrapment).

Description from http://www.spookhouse.net/ange lynx/comics/episode-twenty.htm l

The piece Sara sings and refers to is called "Kuzunoha no kowakare" ("Kuzunoha's Child Separation"), a very long song/recitation created by the famous performer Matsuzaka Saimon.

Kuzunoha was a kitsune, a fox who took human form, and in the guise of a maiden (in some versions a princess), married Abe no Yasuna, a twelfth-century nobleman who had saved the fox from hunters. Kuzunoha bore him a child, who would become the future famous astrologer and onmyouji Abe no Seimei. Ultimately Kuzunoha was compelled by various circumstances (depending on the version of the dramatization or legend) to reclaim her fox nature and return to her natural home in Shinoda Forest. So with unbearable sadness she abandoned her husband and son, after writing a famous farewell poem on which the song is based. The poem may be read as:"Koishiku ba / tazunekite miyo / izumi naru / shinoda no mori no / urami kuzunoha" ("If you long to love me, / Search for me in / Shinoda Forest, Izumi Province / with regret, Kuzunoha.").
There is also a pun between her name 'Kuzunoha' and 'kudzu no ha', the "kuzu leaf" (arrowroot) that grows in the Shinoda forest, which is referenced by Anime-Forever in their sub of the episode.

--The recording used in the series is sung by Tsukioka Yukiko, who studied the recordings of the "last of the Goze'", Haru Kobayashi and Shizu Sugimoto, and even traveled a pilgrimage of all 88 temples of Shikoku island to understand the harsh life of the traveling performers.

Sasi sasi o to aro aro
O angi si nau boroi amu
Ni ma oe e fasi korona
Dolali dasa na, lao dai afuimae
Afuta guau mauri, Afuta wela inomae

Sasi sasi ae o angisi nau
Boroi nima oe e fasi koro na
Dolali dasa na, lao dai afuimae
Afuta guau mauri, Afuta wela inomae
Young brother, young brother you be quiet
Although you are crying to me
Your father has left us
He has gone to the place of the dead
Protect the head of the living, Protect the orphan child

Young brother, young brother hey? although you are crying to me
Your father has left us
He has gone to the place of the dead
Protect the head of the living, protect the orphan child
Interpreting the Song:

This interpretation and lyrics come from one very old lady, living in Fataleka (one of the Solomon Islands), as translated by her grandchildren. The song is said to be very old and hence the new generation does not understand every word.

The song is about a young child crying because he does not see his father with the family. In response his elder sister sung this song to comfort as well as tell him the reality, with an appeal for their deceased father to protect this child in the land of the living (local ancient belief is that the dead care for loved ones they left behind).

The old woman also said that the sample, if listened to carefully, used some words and sounds that were added to make it sound more melo. Expression of some words twice, as well pronounciation of most of the words are different from that of normal conversation. Eg. 'O' should be OE', Angiangi should be angisi. This is very common with local traditional songs.

Thanks to the people of the Solomon Islands for the lyrics, translation, and interpretation
