Warabi Gama ... Okinawa sanshin

Показать описание
Three years ago, when DyLon and I were on our Okinawa trip, we bought myself a sanshin. I'd been wanting one "forever" but since I got back to the States I've pretty much ignored the darned thing. So, a couple of weeks ago I dragged it out thinking it's about time that I DO SOMETHING with it. As aresult, I've been learning a few tunes.
My favorite so far. I started learning this one yesterday so there are a few goofs - but, eh! Daijoubu dayo
Ten kara no megumi ukete kono hoshi ni
Umaretaru waga ko inori kome sodate
IRAYOO HEI IRAYOO HOI
IRAYOO Kanashi umi nashiguwa
Nakunayo~ya HEIYOO HEIYOO
Teida no hikari ukete
Yuuiriyo~ya HEIYOO HEIYOO
Sukoya ka ni sodate

Atsuki natsu no hi wa suzukaze wo okuri
Samuki fuyu kureba kono mune ni daite
IRAYOO HEI IRAYOO HOI
IRAYOO Kanashi umi nashiguwa
Nakunayo~ya HEIYOO HEIYOO
Tsuki no hikari abite
Yuuiriyo~ya HEIYOO HEIYOO
Sukoyaka ni nemure

Arashi fuki susamu wataru kono uki yo
Haha no inori kome towa no hanasakaso
IRAYOO HEI IRAYOO HOI
IRAYOO Kanashi umi nashiguwa
Nakunayo~ya HEIYOO HEIYOO
Ten no hikari ukete
Yuuiriyo~ya HEIYOO HEIYOO
Ten takaku sodate
English translation:
LULLABY OF HEAVEN:
A blessing from heaven
Into this world
You are born, my baby,
I will take care of you
Irayo hei, irayo hoi, irayo
My dearest child
Don’t you cry, heiyo heiyo,
May the sun shine on you
Be a good boy, heiyo heiyo
Please grow up
In miraculous health

When summer comes,
I will send you a cool breeze
When winter comes,
I will hold you to my bosom
Irayo hei, irayo hoi, irayo
My dearest child
Don’t you cry, heiyo heiyo,
May the moon shine on you
Be a good girl, heiyo heiyo,
Please grow up
To adulthood

Though stormy winds may blow
As you go through this world
I will shelter you from the storm,
so you may bloom like a flower
Irayo hei, irayo hoi, irayo,
My dearest child,
Don’t you cry, heiyo heiyo,
May the heavens shine on you
Be a good human being,
heiyo, heiyo,
To lead a worthy life

So did you move back to Okinawa and if so how, I would love to work and move back some day with my family, Okinaw is a special place, but I know you know that! Awesome instrumental!
