孫(んまが)しかさん 嫁しかち
うりん分らん 夫加那志

The lyrics to 喜納昌吉 & チャンプルーズ's song すくちな者 tell the story of various people in the neighborhood who are seen as "useless" or "good-for-nothing." The song speaks of a elderly man who spends his days buying dried fish, an old woman who is always dressed up and out and about, a young woman who is married but clueless about running a household, and a student who skips school to play pachinko. Despite being labeled as such, the song highlights the fact that these people are still living their lives, doing what they can to get by and find joy in their own ways.
The lyrics suggest that the people around them may not understand their choices, but that does not mean they are leading wasted lives. There is a sense of empathy and understanding in the song, reminding listeners that everyone has their own struggles and ways of coping with them. It is a call to refrain from judgment and to appreciate people for who they are.
Overall, the song is a commentary on society's tendency to label and categorize people, and the need to recognize that each person has their own unique story and life experience.
