Okinawan romanized lyrics with English translation
Written by Rob Kajiwara


Haru noonoo
Flowers of Spring

Churasa sachii 
Bloom beautifully 

Fuu chiriin nu Soogwachi
Bringing us blessings for the new year

Chimunigee 
I am praying

Akiti
That this coming year

Kai Tin kara haneechi 
Will bring us prosperity from heaven

Chibumi chukui
The buds are preparing

Sachichiin
To blossom

Shikinu chitu kwiin 
It's the earth's gift to us

Wanee fuushan ‘yun 
I want to wish

‘Yaa tu yaaninju 
You and your family

Kariyushi Soogwachi Deebiru 
A happy new year



Shidakaji 
The cool breeze 

Saajaatunain
Feels refreshing 

Chimugakiin nu Soogwachi
Ready to something good in the new year

Hanjoo yuchii 
Abundant prosperity 

Wanee nigain
Is my wish

Watta ganjuu nu Soogwachi 
That we have good health in the new year

Chibumi chukui
The buds are preparing

Sachichiin
To blossom

Shikinu chitu kwiin 
It's the earth's gift to us

An shichi haru 
So if you like spring time

Wan yunugutu 
Like I do 

Kariyushi Soogwachi Deebiru 
I wish you a happy new year 

Shinchiriin tin 
the crystal clear sky

Ukwadisa 
The big tropical almond tree

Fuu chiriin nu Soogwachi 
Brings luck for the new year

Chimunigee 
I am praying

Akiti
That this coming year

Kai Tin kara haneechi 
Will bring prosperity from heaven

Chibumi chukui
The buds are preparing

Sachichiin
To blossom

Shikinu chitu kwiin 
It's the earth's gift to us

Wanee fuushan ‘yun
I want to wish

‘Yaa tu yaaninju 
You and your family

Kariyushi Soogwachi Deebiru
A happy new year
