Evolve the Island
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
