ざわわ ざわわ ざわわ
広いさとうきび畑は
ざわわ ざわわ ざわわ
風が通りぬけるだけ
今日もみわたすかぎりに
緑の波がうねる
夏の陽ざしの中で
ざわわ ざわわ ざわわ
広いさとうきび畑は
ざわわ ざわわ ざわわ
風が通りぬけるだけ
むかし海の向こうから
いくさがやってきた
夏の陽ざしの中で
ざわわ ざわわ ざわわ
広いさとうきび畑は
ざわわ ざわわ ざわわ
風が通りぬけるだけ
あの日鉄の雨にうたれ
父は死んでいった
夏の陽ざしの中で
ざわわ ざわわ ざわわ
広いさとうきび畑は
ざわわ ざわわ ざわわ
風が通りぬけるだけ

Rustling, rustling, rustling
In the wide sugar millet field
Rustling, rustling, rustling
Only the wind is passing by
Today, all around this field
The green waves swing to and fro
In the sunshine of hot summer
Rustling, rustling, rustling
In the wide sugar millet field
Rustling, rustling, rustling
Only the wind is passing by
In an old day, from over the ocean
The war had come in this field
In the sunshine of hot summer
Rustling, rustling, rustling
In the wide sugar millet field
Rustling, rustling, rustling
Only the wind is passing by
On that day, iron shower fell down
And my father died in this field
In the sunshine of hot summer
Rustling, rustling, rustling
In the wide sugar millet field
Rustling, rustling, rustling
Only the wind is passing by
Trivia
- This song is a cover of the original modern folk song by Ryoko Moriyama. Arguably her most famous, the version presented here is a shorter version than the original. It is well known in Japan for being able to emotionally convey the tragedy and loss caused by The Battle of Okinawa.
