Sanshin No Hana
いつしか忘れられたおじの形の三線
Itsushika wasurerareta oji no katachi no sanshin
床の間で誕生祝いの島酒にもたれて
Tokonoma de tanjōiwai no shimasake ni motarete
埃を揺びでなでてゆるんだ糸まけば
Hokori wo yubidenadete yurunda ito makeba
退屈でたまらなかった島唄が響いた
Taikutsu de tamaranakatta shimauta ga hibiita
鮮やかに蘇るあなたと過ごした日々は
Azayaka ni yomigaeru anata to sugoshita hibi wa
柔らかな愛しさでこの胸を突き破り
Yawarakana itoshisa de kono mune wo tsukiyaburi
咲いたのは三線の花
Saita no wa sanshin no hana
テレビの斜め向かいの
TEREBI no naname mukai no
あなたがいた場所に
Anata ga ita basho ni
座ればアルミの窓から
Suwareba ARUMI no mado kara
夜月が昇る
Yozuki ga noboru
家族を眺めながら
Kazoku wo nagamenagara
飲む酒はどんな味
Nomu sake wa donna aji
眠りにつく前の
Nemuri ni tsuku mae no
歌は誰の歌
Uta wa dare no uta
喜びも悲しみも
Yorokobi mo kanashimi mo
いつの日か歌えるなら
Itsunohika utaeru nara
この島の土の中
Kono shima no tsuchi no naka
秋に泣き冬に耐え春に咲く三線の花
Aki ni naki fuyu ni tae haru ni saku sanshin no hana
この空もあの海も
Kono sora mo ano umi mo
何もかもかたにはしない
Nanimokamo kata ni wa shinai
この島に暖かな
Kono shima ni atataka na
風となり雨を呼び
Kaze to nari ame wo yobi
咲いたのは三線の花
Saita no wa sanshin no hana
秋に泣き冬に耐え春に咲く三線の花
Aki ni naki fuyu ni tae haru ni saku sanshin no hana
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
