昔美しゃ 今美しゃ

昔オジーがよ サバニにゆられてよ
渡るこの海の 海の美しゃよ

昔オバーがよ パインの畑をよ
歩く姿のよ 姿の美しゃよ

ゆらゆらと白い波が 遠くに消えたよ
オジーとオバーのよ 景色も消えたよ

昔オトーがよ 鳴らした三線と
唄った島唄の 唄の美しゃよ

昔オカーがよ つむいだ糸でよ
織った上布のよ 上布の美しゃよ

夜が更け祭りのあとが かすかに残るよ
上布も島唄も かすかに残るよ

昔ぬ美しゃや 忘れてゆくけれど
忘んな心ぬ 心ぬ美しゃよ

昔ぬ美しゃや 今も美しゃよ
共に語らな 浮世ぬ美しゃよ
共に渡らな 浮世ぬ美しゃよ

Former Beauty, Present Beauty

My grandfather used to ride in a small boat
And would cross this sea. How beautiful it was.

My grandmother used to walk in the pineapple fields
Her demeanor was just as beautiful as the landscape

White waves would sway in the distance, eventually disappearing
My grandfather, my grandmother, and the scenery would vanish

My father used to play the sanshin and sing folk songs
His voice was as beautiful as the island melodies

My mother used to spin thread
And would weave beautiful fabrics.

The night grew darker and the festival remnants faintly remained
The fabrics and the songs faintly remained

The beauty of the past I may forget
But the heart that remembers, that's true beauty

The beauty of the past, is also the beauty of the present
Let's talk about the beauty of the floating world
Let's cross this ocean, together, and see its beauty.
