This song kept coming up in my blog stats so I’ll just make things easier by posting it. I romanized it in the style of the awesome Cherryblossom Garden site. (Tip: you can always try emailing me at karakuipress[at]gmail[dot]com and I’ll try my best to get the lyrics you’re searching for up on the blog.)
Sanshin no Hana
Lyrics & Music by BEGIN
from the “Okinawa no Butagoya Gakudan” album (TECI-1151)
Itsushika wasurerareta OJII no katami no sanshin
Tokonoma de tanjou iwai no shimazake ni motarete
Hokori wo yubi de nadete yurunda ito wo makeba
Taikutsu de tamaranakatta shimauta ga hibi ita
*Azayaka ni yomigaeru anata to sugoshita hibi wa
Yawarakana itoshisade kono mune wo tsukiyaburi
Saita no wa sanshin no hana
TEREBI no naname mukai no anata ga ita basho ni
Suwareba ARUMI no mado kara yuuzuki ga noboru
Kazoku wo nagame nagara nomu sake wa donna aji
Nemuri ni tsuku mae no uta wa dare no uta
**Yorokobi mo kanashimi mo itsuno hika utaerunara
Kono shima no tsuchi no naka aki ni naki fuyu ni tae
Haru ni saku sanshin no hana
***Kono sora mo ano umi mo nanimo katari wa shinai
Kono shima ni atatakana kaze to nari ame wo yobi
Saita no wa sanshin no hana
Aki ni naki fuyu ni tae haru ni saku sanshin no hana

Thanks for the Sanshin no Hana lyrics. Do you have the lyrics for Shimamchu nu takara? Mahalo.
@Rod Morita: I’ll work on it and post it soon. 🙂
Thanks for posting Sanshin no Hana lyrics. Can you help translating the lyrics into English? 😉
@a_giu: It’s something that I’d be willing to work on but finding the free time will be the hard part. I already have it listed on my GTD for 2008.
Here are the lyrics for Shimanchu no takara- I found it on a Brazilian website for anyone that is still looking for them-
Boku ga umareta kono shima no sora o
Boku wa dore kurai shite iru n darou
Kagayaku hoshi mo nagareru kumo mo
Namae o hikaretemo wakaranai
Demo dare yori dare yori mo shite iru
Kanashii toki mo ureshii toki mo
Nando mo miagete ita kono sora o
Kyoukashou ni kaite aru koto dake ja wakaranai
Taisetsu na mono ga kitto koko ni aru hazu sa
Sore ga shimanchu nu takara
Boku ga umareta kono shima no umi o
Boku wa dore kurai shite iru n darou
Yogerete KUSANGO mo hette yuku sakana mo
Doushitara ii naka wakaranai
Demo dare yori dare yori mo shite iru
Suna ni mamirete nami ni yurarete
Sukoshi zutsukawatte yuku kono umi o
TEREBI de wa utsuzusenai RAJIO demo nagasenai
Taisetsu na mono ga kitto koko ni aru hazu sa
Sore ga shimanchu nu takara
Boku ga umareta kono shima no uta o
Boku wa dore kurai shite iru n darou
TUBARAMA mo DENSAA bushi mo
Kotoba no imi sae wakaranai
Demo dare yori dare yori mo shite iru
Iwai no yoru mo matsuri no asa mo
Doko kara ga kikoete kuru kono uta o
Itsu no hi ka kono shima o hanareteku sono hi made
Taisetsu na mono motto fukaku shite itai
Sore ga shimanchu n takara
This is a great site by the way. I was really excited because my sanshin just came in today and I got to tune it with the help of the video lesson.
Oh yeah here is the website where the lyrics came from

@Mark: Thank you for the comments and congratulations on getting your sanshin. I’ll have more video tutorials up soon.
those two songs are great! I started taiko a few months ago. I learned shimanchu nu takara (i’ll learn sanshin no hana very soon), and maybe im going to play it on a parade in argentina, because of the 100th anniversary of the okinawan inmigration. Thanks for the lyrics!
does anyone have the english translation?
Hi I first heard this song when i watched Nada Sou Sou. I really like the melody of the sanshin! Can someone please give me a link for the english translation of the lyrics? I’d love to be able to understand the song!
THANKS!
YAY~ Thank you so much!!! I am still trying to learn the Sanshin and this song seems pretty nice to try XP
After the basic traditional ones first though XD
Can someone translate the lyrics (meaning wise) for me in English?

can you send me sanshin no hanao, the song or let me go to the site to download? thank you.
@sobrazz: Sadly, as of this writing, BEGIN’s music isn’t available on iTunes (US). Your best bet is to get the album from an online retailer like YesAsia or CDJapan.
