Man of the Sea

Lyrics & Composition: Okinawan Folk Song
Arrangement: Youichirou Yoshikawa & Yoshifumi Iio

Just who in the world named it? Dondon Cavern
is where the playgirl sneaks off to play
Man of the sea, dondon suuri eisuuri

She snuck in through Dondon Cavern
Please come out. Let's talk and play
Man of the sea, dondon suuri eisuuri

She's fallen for a man of the sea and won't eat
She stays on the roadside and her parents worry
Man of the sea, dondon suuri eisuuri

She wants to go, but can't. She wants to leave, but can't
What shall you do about your future?
Man of the sea, dondon suuri eisuuri

Umi Yakara

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Okinawa Minyou
Henkyoku: Yoshikawa Youichirou & Iio Yoshifumi

Tagashi najikitaga dondon nu gamaya
Ashibi miyarabi nu shinubi dukuru
Umi yakara dondon suuri eisuuri

Dondon gama kayuti shinudi chasa wami ya
Nijimisori yakara katati ashiba
Umi yakara dondon suuri eisuuri

Umi yakara ni furiti kamuru mun kaman
Michibata ni tumati uya nu awari
Umi yakara dondon suuri eisuuri

Natin narariran nuchin nukariran
Icha sabiiga satumee atu nu kutu ya
Umi yakara dondon suuri eisuuri

海ヤカラ

作詞・作曲：沖縄民謡
編曲：吉川洋一郎、飯尾芳史

誰がし名付きたが　ドンドンぬガマヤ
遊び美童ぬ　忍び所
海ヤカラ　ドンドン　スーリ　エイスーリ

ドンドンガマ通で　忍で来ちゃさ我んね
出ぢみそりヤカラ　語て遊ば
海ヤカラ　ドンドン　スーリ　エイスーリ

海ヤカラに惚れて　食むる物食まん
道端に泊て　親ぬ哀り
海ヤカラ　ドンドン　スーリ　エイスーリ

なてんならりらん　ぬちんぬかりらん 如何さびが里前　後ぬ事や
海ヤカラ　ドンドン　スーリ　エイスーリ
