| The "Islanders" in this case are the people of the Okinawan islands. "Tubaraama" are songs from Yaeyama (one of the Okinawan islands, the Ryuukyuu archipelago to be more exact) that require amazing skill in voice and breath control in order to sing properly. Densaa Bushi is an actual Yaeyama folk song. |
boku ga umareta kono shima no sora wo
boku wa dore kurai shitte iru n darou
kagayaku hoshi mo nagareru kumo mo
namae wo kikarete mo wakaranai
demo dare yori dare yori shitte iru
kanashii toki mo ureshii toki mo
nandomo miagete ita kono sora wo
kyoukasho ni kaite aru koto dake ja wakaranai
taisetsu na mono ga kitto koko ni aru hazu sa
sore ga shimanchu nu takara
boku ga umareta kono shima no umi wo
boku wa dore kurai shitteru n darou
yogoreteku sango mo hette yuku sakana mo
dou shitara ii no ka wakaranai
demo dare yori dare yori mo shitte iru
suna ni mamirete nami ni yurarete
sukoshizutsu kawatte yuku kono umi wo
terebi dewa utsusenai radio demo nagasenai
taisetsu na mono ga kitto koko ni aru hazu sa
sore ga shimanuchu nu takara
boku ga umareta kono shima no uta wo
boku wa dore kurai shitteru n darou
tubaraama mo densaa bushi mo
kotoba no imi sae wakaranai
demo dare yori dare yori shitte iru
iwai no yoru mo matsuri no asa mo
doko kara ka kikoete kuru kono uta wo
itsu no hi ka kono shima wo hanareteku sono hi made
taisetsu na mono wo motto fukaku shitte itai
sore ga shimanuchu nu takara
