[00:00.000] 作曲 : Mirei Toyama/Samuel Morris Zornow/Zak Adams Leaver
[00:02.281] When I see the ocean of Oki
[00:04.855] I always remember what my grandma once told me
[00:08.903] when she was young, she saw the horizon in black
[00:12.816] On all sides, battleships ready to attack
[00:16.136]
[00:18.658] Okinawa is an Island in the island
[00:22.005] With hibiscus and dialect blooming out of the soil of my family's ghosts
[00:30.573] This prefecture wasn't always part of Japan and is was turned into a battlefield for WW2
[00:38.924] Where mothers and babies had to hide together in forced silence holding each other as soldiers destroyed their lives
[00:47.991]
[00:50.189] I was born and raised in Naich in Osaka with my father last name of Oki
[00:56.904] The first time I saw him cry was when we visited his childhood home and memories of his parents, brothers and sisters washed over him
[01:08.229] Even with my imperfect nationality, my uncles siad, You're family, come back here any time
[01:15.932]
[01:19.547] Now when I hear the ocean, even with the waves breaking on foreign military bases
[01:27.953] I picture my grandpa and his Sanshin guitar. I heard him playing once and it was beautiful
[01:37.164]
[01:43.529] 谷茶前ね浜に
[01:49.199] スルル小が　寄てぃてぃんどーへい
[01:58.323] スルル小が　寄てぃてぃんどーへい
[02:07.372] タンチャマシマシ
[02:10.418] デイアングワ　ソイソイ
[02:13.002] デイアングワ　ソイソイ
[02:17.046]
[02:19.655] When I see the ocean of Oki
[02:22.511] I always remember what my grandma once told me
[02:27.274] This is the song of my history, in the name of Touyama
