Thanks a lot to all for your comments. This song is a favorite of mine too. I´m to find out the name of the marvelous female singer. If someone could help me reading the kanjis, I´d be very grateful.

When I first heard this song about 4 years ago, I decided there and then that I wanted to learn it, but it took a lot of work to find the original lyrics. In the end, I got there, and this song is now one of my favourites to sing and play on guitar.

Lake Biwa Rowing Song

Lyrics: Oguchi Taro

Music: Yoshida Chiaki A passionate song about leaving a place that you love!

[Earthlinked]

1. I am a son of the lake setting out on a cruise Standing on the shore emotionally Being surrounded by spreading mist and surging ripples I bid farewell to the capital of Shiga

2. Green pine trees and white sand along the shore A maiden of Omatsu village Secretly weeps in the woods of blooming camellia Over her fragile love

[Earthlinked]

3. Drifting among the waves We miss a red light at the horn of a pier Without having specific destinations We sleep on the boat Wondering where we are in the morning, either Imazu or Nagahama

4. With a sapphire flower garden and a shrine surrounded by coral Chikubu-shima Island of old inheritance floats on the lake Young maiden, sleep peacefully In the arms of Buddha

[Earthlinked]

5. With arrows deeply buried in the soil Summer grass grows thick in the old moat Standing alone in the old castle Even Mt. Hira and Mt. Ibuki are like a dream

6. Chomeiji, the Western Japan's 10th temple of pilgrimage Being far away from the unclean earth Let us pull into the golden waves Let us talk with peers passionately

[Earthlinked]

A great voice is a great voice - PERIOD - and music is the language!!!!!!!
