Sanshin No Hana
Begin
Sanshin Flower
The sanshin in the shape of my forgotten uncle
Leaning on the island sake for a birthday celebration on the tokonoma
If the dust is gently brushed off and the thread loosens
The island song that was unbearably boring resounded
The days spent with you, vividly revived
Pierce through this heart with gentle affection
Blossomed the flower of the sanshin
In the place where you were
Sitting, from the aluminum window
The night moon rises
Watching the family
What taste does the sake have
Before falling asleep
Whose song is the song
If someday I can sing
Both joy and sorrow
In the soil of this island
The sanshin flower blooms enduring tears in autumn and winter, and blossoming in spring
This sky and that sea
Will not change anything
Becoming a warm wind on this island
Calling for rain
Blossomed the flower of the sanshin
Enduring tears in autumn and winter, and blossoming in spring
