Simout.

(Text and music by K. Miyazava)

Translation by E. Tarasov

Dago-but khan-ha saki kaje-o Yoby arasi-ha Kita

The Dago flower blossomed, the wind called, and the storm came.

Daigo-ha Samimidare Kadze-o Yoby Arasi-ha Kita

The Dago flower flourished magnificently, the wind caused, and the storm came up

Kurikaesa Kanasimi-va Sima Vataru by Nam-no:

Infinite sadness is that the waves running to the island.

W: Dzi-but Mori-de Anata Dais

We met with you in the thicket of reed.

W: Dzi-no sita de Tieo not Suunara

They said goodbye to the reed for centuries.

Simout yo kaje-ni nori Tori Tomo-ni UMI-O WATARE

Simout! Dashed the wind and fly through the ocean with birds

Simauta Yo Kaje-Ni Nori Tokete Okurs Vatasi-but Namida

Simout! Say the wind and pass my tears with him

Dago-no khan-mm Tiri Sadzanami-ha Yurar Dake

Dagoed Dago, only small ripples remained on the water

Sasayakana Siavase-va Utakata but by us but khan

Little happiness "duck" - a flower among the waves

W: Dzi-but Mori-de Utatta Tomo Yo

My friend with whom they sang in the thickets of reed!

W: Dzi-no sita-de Yatyo-no Vakare

Parting under the reed - for millions of years.

Simout yo kaje-ni nori Tori Tomo-no umo-o-vataree

Simout! Dashed the wind and fly through the ocean with birds

Simout Yo Kaje-Ni Nori Tokete Okurhe Vatasi-no AI-O

Simout! Say the wind and pass my love with him

Umi Yo! Iron: Yo! Kami Yo! Inoti yo! Konomama of the goods-no Yunagi o

Simout! Universe! Gods! Fate! Let the evening calm last forever!

Simout yo kaje-ni nori Tori Tomo-no umo-o-vataree

Simout Yo Kaje-Ni Nori Tokete Okurhe Vatasi-no AI-O

Comments.

Simout - "Song of islands" - the genre of the traditional Okinawan song.

But this song is not folk, it was composed by the rocker (?) Cazufumi Miyazava, it is stylized to the music of Okinawa and is dedicated to girls from the Khimeuri detachment ("Virgin - Lilia".)

So. A very sad story ... Daigo (Erythrinia Orientalis murrei) is such a shrub that grows on the islands of Ryukeu, blooms with bright scarlet colors somewhere from March to May and from 1972 is a symbol of Okinawa. April 1, 1945 (i.e. during its flowering period), an American invasion of Okinawa began. (Aracy Ga Kita, a storm came.)

Prior to this, if there was a threat of American invasion of K-L island, the Japanese evacuated the entire civilian population from there (for example, more than a thousand people took out from Ivodzima (Ioto).) Okinawa residents were not very Japanese, even their language was different. The islands of Ryukyu were a long time of Japan for a long time, they were finally annexed to Japan in the Meiji era, then the comrades from Satsuma tried, if I am not mistaken. The attitude of local residents towards the Japanese was not very friendly. In addition, there were too many okinavians. It was not about evacuation.

The population of Okinava began to be actively involved in the construction of defense fortifications. So that it does not switch to the side of the enemy, the inhabitants are intimidated in every possible way (they will come, rob, kill, rape ...) and grenades were given. Just in case. In order to commit with you heroically, but not to surrender.

Of the students of the Higher Women's School, the sanitary detachment of “Khimei” (“Virgin - Lilia”) was created, which included 222 girls from 15 to 19 years old and several reaches. The hospital was in 50 or 60 caves in the Owls area in the south of Okinava. (Now somewhere there is a memorial park). The conditions were unsanitary, there were no medicines, there was little food and water. The girls participated in the operations, looked after the wounded, buried the dead. All this is under the continuous shelling. When the Americans captured Okinawa, many of the chemuei committed suicide. Of the 222, only 18 girls survived. That's all. There are documentary films about Khimeuri. Artistic, it seems, too.
