アキサミヨー
喜納昌吉 & チャンプルーズ Lyrics

The lyrics to 喜納昌吉 & チャンプルーズ's song アキサミヨー portray the confusion and uncertainty of the inhabitants of Okinawa, Japan, about the cultural identities and influences of their country. The song starts with a conversation about the different countries and cultures that have an impact on Okinawa, such as China, America, and Japan. The lyrics then express the confusion of Okinawans about their identity as they do not understand the differences between these cultures and how they influence their society. They ask questions like "Where is Japan?" and "Which do you prefer, Japan or America?" but receive no clear answers.

The repeated phrase "アキサミヨー" translates to "I don't know" and reflects the frustration and uncertainty of the people about their cultural identity. The song ends with a final plea for answers as to why Okinawa, being such a small place, has so many cultural influences that they cannot understand.

Overall, the lyrics of アキサミヨー reflect the confusion and uncertainty experienced by a society that has been influenced by various and sometimes conflicting cultures.
