How much do I know
About the sky of the island where I was born
The twinkling stars, the rolling clouds
ask me to name them and I have no answer

But I know more than anyone, anyone
In sad times, happy times as well
So many times I’ve lifted my eyes to these skies

Even if you read in a textbook, you can’t get it
I know something special exists here
The treasure of our island home

I wonder how much I know
Of the waters of the island where I was born
The polluted coral, the dying fish
I don’t know what to do

But I know more than anyone, anyone
Covered in sand, swayed by the waves
These waters are gradually changing

It’s not shown on TV, not heard on the radio
I know something special must exist here
The treasure of our island home

The song of this island where I was born
I wonder how much I understand of it?
The Toobarama, Densaa bushi too
I can’t even understand the words

But more than anyone, anyone, I understand
The celebration night, the festival morning too
The song I hear from somewhere

Someday I’ll leave this island  Until that day
I want to know something deeply
That’s the treasure of our island home
