Sing-along to the Sanshin orchestra's piece, "Tinsagunu-Hana", an Okinawan traditional folk song. English translation by Margaret Howell

Let the red of the Garden Balsam

Sink into your fingertips, my child

Let the wise words of your parents

Sink into your mind

Think on the stars, my child

You can count them if you try

Think on the wise words of your parents

They are innumerable
