Romaji Title: shima uta
Kanji Title: 島唄
English Title: Island Song
This song is symbolic of the war. "Uuji" means "sugar cane" so "Uuji forest" would mean "sugarcane field."
And the deigo flower is said to bring destruction. So basically, the song is saying "island song, ride the wind, and tell the
mainland of the sorrows of Okinawa."

Deigo no hana ga saki Kaze wo yobi Arashi ga kita
Deigo ga sakimidare kaze wo yobi arashi ga kita
Kuri kaesu 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
Sasayaka na 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 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 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 ai wo
