Shinka Nu Chaa

Islands and countries, the sound of the sanshin
Passing through the colors of the Okinawan flowers

Living on the island, the people of the island
We evolve, we are Okinawan

Evolve, the sea, the sky, the land, the people
Gather on the island, the spirit of Eisaa dance

Plant the seeds, someday sprouts will appear
Stretch out the branches, forests will be born
Great spirits, be with the island
Wherever it may be, that is Okinawa

Cross over that sea, that island, evolve
We are Okinawan, warriors of the island

Cross over that wind, bring that breeze
We are Okinawan, warriors of the island

Islands and seas, the sound of the sanshin
No matter the island, no matter the people

Shed your sweat, rise together
Reach as high as you can, extend your reach
If you burn your life, let it burn
You who love the island, you are Okinawan

Shed your sweat, rise together
Reach as high as you can, extend your arms
Cross the sea, circle the island
The form of the island, that is Okinawa
