Ryuichi Sakamoto - Chinsagu No Hana

[Udui1o1]

The paintings and pictures are not of Okinawa and the Ryukyus but are of mainland, Japan. The rhythm and lyrics are Okinawan and Sakamoto has put his new version on a beautiful Okinawan Children's Lullabye. Singing are the Original Nene's with the Okinawan sanshin. Some songs have a tinge of melancholy. I like this version Thank you for posting it.

My girlfriend didn`t know most of the words. She said the Japanese people on the south island have different words.

Im from Okinawa prefecture, Japan... This is an Okinawan folk song and makes me cry everytime I hear coz Im so far away from my home....

@2010Spang

This is indeed so lovely and spiritual song. I feel the same way as you feel. It makes me feel so melancholic and improves my desire to go to Japan again and to go Okinawa especially this time.

Un temazo. Los que no lo conozcan tal vez nunca lo descubran, porque empieza a coger vuelo a partir de los 2 minutos.

[Eretico84]

Marvellous! No other words to say: Marvellous.

[fix3p]

\/ agree :D

[jlamotta2]

Just as my fingernails are stained with the pigment from balsam flowers,

my heart is painted with the teachings of my parents.

[pastelsand]

pure beauty

:-)

[jlamotta2]

Although the stars in the sky are countable, the teachings of my parents are not.

Just as ships that run in the night are guided to safety by the North star,

I am guided by my parents who gave birth to me and watch over me.

There's no point in possessing magnificent jewelry if you don't maintain it;

people who maintain their bodies will live life wonderfully.

[sutphoe]

are they the words translated into english?

[aeroeau]

@jlamotta2 Great translation !

[saskiafirchova]

Beautiful, a music for a special moment! thank you love it.

[jlamotta2]

The desires of the person who lives sincerely will always run true

and as a result she will prosper.

You can do anything if you try, but you can't if you don't.

[robotoa]

Merci .

[stinkeboer]

Genius...

[dimagogos]

Can someone please post the words, but transliterated in English? (A translation would also be appreciated...)

Thanks!

chinsagu no hana ya chinsachi ni sumiti uya no yushi gututoya chimu ni sumire (red of balsam flower colour finger tips but parents words colour one's mind)

yoru harasu funiya nirufabushi miate wannacheru uyaya wando miate (sailing in the dark, one is in need of the starlight but old parents are in need of me)

ten no muribusiya yumiba yumarisiga, uya no yushigutoya, yumin naran (One can count the number of stars, but one cannot count parents love and wisdom)

[dimagogos]
