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.
