Shimauta Lyrics
Shima Uta :
Deigo ga sakimidare kaze wo yobi arashi ga kita
Kurikaesu kanashimi wa shima wataru nami no you
Uuji no mori de anata to deai
Uuji no shita de chiyo ni sayonara
Shima uta yo kaze ni nori tori to tomo ni umi wo watare
Shima uta yo kaze ni nori todokete okure watashi no namida
Deigo no hana mo chiri saza nami ga yureru dake
Sasayakana shiawase wa utakata no nami no hana
Uuji no mori de utatta tomo yo
Uuji no shita de yachiyo no wakare
Shimau uta yo kaze ni nori tori to tomo ni umi wo watare
Shima uta yo kaze ni nori todokete okure watashi no ai wo
Umi yo uchuu yo kami yo inochi yo kono mama towa ni yuunagi wo
Shima uta yo kaze ni nori tori to tomo ni umi wo watare
Shima uta yo kaze ni nori tori to tomo ni umi wo watare
Shima uta yo kaze ni nori todokete okure watashi no namida
Kurikaesu kanashimi wa shima wataru nami no you
Uuji no mori de anata to deai
Uuji no shita de chiyo ni sayonara
Shima uta yo kaze ni nori todokete okure watashi no namida
Sasayakana shiawase wa utakata no nami no hana
Uuji no mori de utatta tomo yo
Uuji no shita de yachiyo no wakare
Shima uta yo kaze ni nori todokete okure watashi no ai wo
Shima uta yo kaze ni nori tori to tomo ni umi wo watare
Shima uta yo kaze ni nori todokete okure watashi no namida

This is a Japanese (Okinawa Island) song with a double meaning. The lyrics express a guy singing for the loved one who has died and was buried under the sugarcane bush. He prays so that his song will fly over the ocean and reach the loved one.
That is the upper layer of this song. The deeper meaning of this song the cause of her death through the Okinawa War. the first two lines indicates the US troops streaming in as if "a giant storm" came. The second line writes, "The sadness (people's deaths) comes as if they are large tidal waves". The lovers met for the first time at the sugarcane bush, and the loved one died in it.
Now in peace, he sings to his lover, as well as people in the world, that peace should be kept "like a calm waves of the beach that he stands now".
Great song and the original singer "the boom" sings it with so much passion.
