Lyrics and translation Rimi Natsukawa - てぃんさぐぬ花




てぃんさぐぬ花
Tinsagu Flower
てぃんさぐぬの花 爪先に染みてぃ
Tinsagu flower, staining my toe;
親のゆし事や 肝に染みり
My parents' words, touching my heart.
天ぬ群星や 読みば読まりしが
The stars in the sky, I used to read;
親のゆし事や 読みやならん
But now I can't, without my parents' words.
夜走らす船や 子ぬ方星見当てぃ
A ship sailing through the night;
我ん生ちぇる親や 我んどぅ見当てぃ
The North Star guides me home.
宝玉やてぃん 磨かにば錆す
As precious as a jewel,
朝夕肝磨ち 浮世渡ら
Polish your heart; navigate life.
誠する人や 後や何時迄ん
A sincere person,
思事ん叶てぃ 千代ぬ栄い
May your dreams come true.
なしば何事ん なゆる事やしが
Why so many things are forbidden?
なさぬ故からどぅ ならぬ定み
Because without rules, nothing gets done.
なさぬ故からどぅ ならぬ定み
Without rules, I can't do it.
