  広い さとうきび畑は    Through the large sugar cane field,
  ざわわ ざわわ ざわわ   Zawawa Zawawa Zawawa
  風が 通りぬけるだけ    The wind just passes.

  今日も 見わたすかぎりに  Today again, looking around the field,
  緑の波が うねる      Green waves are roaring
  夏の ひざしの中で     With the sunlight in a summer day.

  むかし 海の向こうから   Old days, over the sea,
  いくさが やってきた    The war came along,
  夏の ひざしの中で     With the sunlight in a summer day.

  夏の ひざしの中で     With the sunlight in a summer day.

  風の音に とぎれて消える  Mom’s lullaby
  母の 子守の歌       Broken by the sound of the wind
  夏の ひざしの中で     With the sunlight in a summer day.

  夏の ひざしの中で     With the sunlight in a summer day.
