ShimanChuNuTakara (Ryukyu Treasure)
On this island where I was born, daily I see the sky Wonder just how well I know it, now I realize: The sparkling stars I see, clouds streaming cross island, Even if I'm asked their names I would not know offhand.
Even so, and even more, much more than anyone, I know: In the best of times and in the times of woe Any time and anyway this sky is surely our own! Overly simple school day textbooks make me feel there must be much more. Things of import that could be said there should build our pride in our lore. All that's our Ryukyuan treasure trove.
On this island where I was born, daily I see the sea Wonder just how well I know it. Now it seems to me: The spoiled coral reeves, disappearing fish and life, What to do about it all, it weighs upon my mind.
Even so, and even more, much more than anyone, I know: It's written in the sand and It's carried by the waves, Bye and bye we'll see a change in our precious ocean more.
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com On the TV, we see no report, the radio; a silent retort. Things of import that could be said there should build our pride in our lore. All that's our Ryukyuan treasure trove.
On this island where I was born, daily I hear it's song Wonder just how well I know it. Yet, I sing along: 'To-pa rama' and 'densa-bushi' lingo What these words mean to the old folks, I don't even know.
Even so, and even more, much more than anyone, I know: Celebrations in the night, festivals held all day long; From everywhere and everyone, loud and clear comes our song!
A day may come when I have to leave here, before that day, I've got to make sure of things of import to all on island deep down in my mind's cove All that's our Ryukyuan treasure trove. All that's our Ryukyuan treasure trove. All that's our Ryukyuan treasure trove.
