Kikyou

Back in the day, no work on the island
Relying on a postcard from a distant relative
I arrived in the land of coffee
For some reason, tears fell to the sound of the sanshin
After three years of hard work, I can go back
Thinking of my hometown, I shed sweat
Fell in love for the first time, bought Western clothes
Happy, fun, forgot about loneliness

Not good at dancing Kachashi
But with her, I wasn't embarrassed
After five years, it's time to go back
We collected the money we saved together
No ring, but a child was born
Promised to God to be happy

Not good at dancing Kachashi
Danced alone in the field at dawn
Ten years passed, family grew
Stepped out into town, a shop opened in the market
A photo sent to my parents
Wearing new shoes
Hometown in a record
Kept spinning

Not good at dancing Kachashi
Holding my son's hand, pushing a cart
Fifty years, I can't go back
A letter from my grandchild arrived
With photos of the hometown
