Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
強く 気高く 逞しく 根付く 縄文杉のように
容赦ない 炎天下も 風雪も 耐え抜いて
威風堂々 決めた道を 揺らぎもせず 生きてるのさ ホ‾
ハァ‾ 島の男はヨ‾ ホ‾
硬く 険しく 勇ましく 岳(たけ)は 宮之浦の如く
魂が 赴くまま なせば成る 術(すべ) 知っている
ハァ‾ 島の男はヨ‾ ホ‾
凛と 胸張り 豪快に 踊る 大川(おおこ)の滝のよう
屋久島の 荒波に この想い 叫ぶように
天地神明 祈り捧げ 愛を護り 生きてるのさ
屋久島の 荒波に この想い 叫ぶように
天地神明 祈り捧げ 愛を護り 生きてるのさ ホ‾ ホ‾
The song "Yakushima" by Takashi Hosokawa is an ode to the unbreakable spirit of the men who inhabit the island. It celebrates their resilience, determination, and unwavering commitment to their way of life, paying homage to their strength in the face of adversity. The lyrics compare the island men to the Jōmon sugi, or the ancient cedar trees that have become symbolic of the island's endurance and beauty.
The first verse describes the men as sturdy and robust, capable of enduring even the harshest of conditions. They are unwavering in their dedication to their path, much like the cedar trees that anchor themselves into the ground. The second verse emphasizes their courage and fortitude, likening them to the imposing Mount Miyanoura. They possess an unyielding spirit that allows them to accomplish any task they set their minds to. The final verse exalts their joie de vivre and passion, comparing their exuberance to the roaring waters of the Ōko waterfall. They shout their love for their home into the tumultuous waves that embrace their shores.
