\tHow well do I know
\n\tThese island skies that I was born under<\/p>\n

\tThe shining stars,     the passing clouds
\n\tEven if you ask me, I don’t know their names<\/p>\n

\tBut more than anyone, I know them
\n\tIn joy and in sorrow
\n\tI’ve gazed up at this sky countless times<\/p>\n

\tYou can’t understand it just by what’s written in a textbook
\n\tSurely, there is something precious here
\n\tThat is the treasure of the island people<\/p>\n

\tHow well do I know
\n\tThe seas of the island where I was born<\/p>\n

\tThe wounded reefs and dwindling fish [1]
\n\tI don’t know what to do about them either<\/p>\n

\tBut more than anyone, I know
\n\tCaressed by the sand, tossed by the waves
\n\tThis ocean that keeps changing little by little<\/p>\n

\tYou won’t see it broadcast on TV or playing on the radio
\n\tBut surely, there is something precious here
\n\tIt’s the treasure of the island people<\/p>\n

\tHow well do I know
\n\tThe songs of this island where I was born<\/p>\n

\tThe Tubaraama, and the Densaa Bushi, [2]
\n\tI don’t even know what the words mean<\/p>\n

\tBut, more than anyone, I know
\n\tOn celebration nights and festival mornings
\n\tThe songs that drift over me from somewhere far<\/p>\n

\tUntil that someday when I part from this island
\n\tI want to understand the precious things here more deeply
\n\tThat’s the treasure of the island people<\/p>\n\n<\/div>
