Oh, My wife is as a flower amidst a bed of thorns.
I hold you back when I return at dusk.

Oh, How happy, how ashamed to acquire a name of unfaithfulness.
My husband is like a white lily but too much for me to control

Oh, After working in the fields under the sixteen day old moon,
the two of us alone but somehow constrained

I have dyed for you, a dark blue kimono.
Please wear it with a sash as a sign of my affection.

Oh, Welcome to Okinawa, the green island with the four seasons of
SPRING, summer, fall, and winter.
