浴びる vs 浴びりゃ-Hikawa Kiyoshi


I was listening to Hikawa Kiyoshi's ソーラン節 and instead of 浴びる he said 浴びりゃ， is
there a normal pattern for this kind of pronunciation? Is it regional?




Song lyrics tend to take poetic license, but if not, this is a shortening of
「浴びれば」. As far as I'm aware, it's not regional, since I hear it in common
speech in Tokyo and on television programs.
