Lyrics Translation: 涙そうそう 夏川りみ
Song Information:
Listen to 涙そうそう (Nada sousou) (4:15)
夏川りみ
This song is a famous Okinawan song, first written by BEGIN, and covered here by Rimi Natsukawa. The kanji for 涙 read as "nada" in Okinawan dialect rather than the standard Japanese "namida". Another thing that makes this song particularly interesting is that you can clearly hear the Okinawan sanshin in it. Which is total win.
This song I've been learning lately because the teaching staff is going to sing it to the graduating junior high third graders next week on the day before graduation. I think I've also sung it drunk before I ever learned it formally.

古いアルバムめくり ありがとうってつぶやいた
いつもいつも胸の中 はげましてくれる人よ
晴れ渡る日も 雨の日も 浮かぶあの笑顔
想い出遠くあせめても
おもかげ探して よみがえる日は 涙そうそう
一番星に祈る それが私のくせになる
夕暮れに見上げる空 心いっぱいあなた探す
悲しみにも 喜びにも おもうあの笑顔
あなたの場所から私が
見えたら きっといつか 会えると信じ 生きてゆく
晴れ渡る日も 雨の日も 浮かぶあの笑顔
思い出遠くあせても
さみしくて 恋しくて 君への想い 涙そうそう
会いたくて 会いたくて 君への想い 涙そうそう

ふるいアルバムめくり ありがとうってつぶやいた
いつもいつもむねのなか はげましてくれる人よ
はれわたるひも あめのひも うかぶあのえがお
おもいでとおくあせても
おもかげさがして よみがえるひは なだそうそう
いちばんぼしにいのる それがわたしのくせになり
ゆぐれにみあげるそら こころいっぱいあなたさがす
かなしみにも よろこびにも おもうあのえがお
あなたのばしょからわたしが
みえたら きっといつか あえるとしんじ いきてゆく
はれわたしひも あめのひも うかぶあのえがお
おもいでとおくあせても
さみしくて こいしくて きみへおもい なだそうそう
あいたくて あいたくて きみへのおもい なだそうそう

as I leaf through this old photo album, I whisper "thank you"
to the one who always, always cheered me on in my heart
come rain or shine, if the smile that I think of,
fades away into the distance of my memories
on the day I search for a glimpse of it, it is resurrected, a stream of tears
it has become my habit now to pray to the very first star
looking up into the evening sky I search for you with all my heart
in loneliness or in joy, that smile that I think of
and if, from where you are
you can see me, I'll live on believing that certainly someday we will meet again
come rain or shine, if the smile that I think of
fades away into the distance of my memories
in loneliness, in yearning, my feelings for you, a stream of tears
I want to see you, I want to see you, my feelings for you, a stream of tears
