Lyrics (Kanji)
ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　広い　さとうきび畑は

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　風が　通りぬけるだけ

今日も　見わたすかぎりに　緑の波が　うねる

夏の　ひざしの中で

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　広い　さとうきび畑は

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　風が　通りぬけるだけ

むかし　海の向こうから　いくさが　やってきた

夏の　ひざしの中で

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　広い　さとうきび畑は

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　風が　通りぬけるだけ

あの日　鉄の雨にうたれ　父は　死んでいった

夏の　ひざしの中で

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　広い　さとうきび畑は

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　風が　通りぬけるだけ

そして　私の生れた日に　いくさの　終わりがきた

夏の　ひざしの中で

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　広い　さとうきび畑は

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　風が　通りぬけるだけ

風の音に　とぎれて消える　母の　子守の歌

夏の　ひざしの中で

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　広い　さとうきび畑は

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　風が　通りぬけるだけ

知らないはずの　父の手に　だかれた夢を　見た

夏の　ひざしの中で

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　広い　さとうきび畑は

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　風が　通りぬけるだけ

父の声を　探しながら　たどる　畑の道

夏の　ひざしの中で

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　広い　さとうきび畑は

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　風が　通りぬけるだけ

お父さんと　呼んでみたい　お父さん　どこにいるの

このまま　緑の波に　おぼれてしまいそう

夏の　ひざしの中で

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　けれど　さとうきび畑は

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　風が　通りぬけるだけ

今日も　見わたすかぎりに　緑の波が　うねる

夏の　ひざしの中で

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　忘れられない　悲しみが

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　波のように　押し寄せる

風よ　悲しみの歌を　海に返してほしい

夏の　ひざしの中で

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　広い　さとうきび畑は

ざわわ　ざわわ　ざわわ　この悲しみは　消えない

Lyrics (Englsh)
Zawawa zawawa zawawa In a large field of sugarcane

Zawawa zawawa zawawa Wind just goes through the fields

Everyday, green waves roll

Under the summer sunshine

Zawawa zawawa zawawa In a large field of sugarcane

Zawawa zawawa zawawa Wind just goes through the fields

A long time ago, a war came here from over the sea

Under the summer sunshine

Zawawa zawawa zawawa In a large field of sugarcane

Zawawa zawawa zawawa Wind just goes through the fields

That day, father got a rain of bullets, and he died

Under the summer sunshine

Zawawa zawawa zawawa In a large field of sugarcane

Zawawa zawawa zawawa Wind just goes through the fields

Mother's lullaby faded away with a sound of winds

Under the summer sunshine

Zawawa zawawa zawawa In a large field of sugarcane

Zawawa zawawa zawawa Wind just goes through the fields

Dreaming I was holding father's hand which I don't know

Under the summer sunshine

Zawawa zawawa zawawa In a large field of sugarcane

Zawawa zawawa zawawa Wind just goes through the fields

I want to try to call, "Dad! Dad, where are you?"

I'll be drowned in this green waves

Under the summer sunshine

Zawawa zawawa zawawa But in a large field of sugarcane

Zawawa zawawa zawawa Wind just goes through the fields

Everyday, green waves rolll

Under the summer sunshine

Zawawa zawawa zawawa Sorrow which I can't forget

Zawawa zawawa zawawa Flood to me as a wave

Wind! We want you to back a sad song to the sea

Under the summer sunshine

Zawawa zawawa zawawa Even though my tears are dried out by winds

Zawawa zawawa zawawa This sorrow will never go away
