ひと夏のおもいでを　この胸に抱いてゆこう

わすれじのあの夏を　この瞳に焼き付けて

あーあかばなよ　花びらの紅さよ

あー青空よ　この島の青さよ

またね　またね　また会おうね　風薫る季節に

またね　またね　また会おうね　太陽の咲くころ

誰でもね　神様よ

ひと夏のおもいでを　明日の糧(かて)にしておくれ

懐かしのあの夏を　勲章にしておくれ

あーゆうがおよ　汚れなき白さよ

あー海原よ　この島の青さよ

またね　またね　また会おうね　白南風(しろはえ)の吹く季節

またね　またね　また会おうね　虹のかかる頃

みんながね　神様よ

またね　またね　また会おうね　美しの島国で

またね　またね　また会おうね　愛を育みし島　愛を与えし島

誰でもね　神様よ

誰でもね　神様よ

みんながね　神様よ

The memories from a single summer, I walk holding those dreams to this chest

That summer which I won't forget, I burn to my eyes

Oh red flower, the redness of your flower petals

Oh blue sky, this island's blueness

Again, again, let's meet again, during the season when I can sense the fragrance of the winds

Again, again, let's meet again, around the time when the sun blooms

Anyone is a god

The memories from a single summer, please use it as food for tomorrow

That summer with fond memories, turn it into a medal

Oh, moonflower, your pure whiteness

Oh ocean, this island's blueness

Again, again, let's meet again, during the season when the winds that blow at end of the rainy season blooms

Again, again, again, let's meet again, around the time when the rainbow crosses the sky

Everyone is a god

Again, again, let's meet again, at the beautiful island country

Again, again, let's meet again, the island where love is nurtured, the island that gives love

Anyone is a god

Anyone is a god

Everyone is a god

吠える荒海　命をかけて

漁場を目指す　白波街道

波のトンネル　マグロに迫り

俺のこの腕(て)に　くらいつく

獲ったぞエー　獲ったぞエー

ハンパ帰りは　男がすたる

待たせてばかりで　すまねえが

浜の味噌汁　のみてえな

海の男が　くじけた時は

演歌がいちばん　こころにしみる

大漁旗で　帰るまで

力合わせて　勝負する

獲ったぞエー　獲ったぞエー

早く見たいよ　おまえの笑顔

白肌ぬくもり　思い出す

やんちゃ息子と　待ってろな

獲ったぞエー　獲ったぞエー

ハンパ帰りは　男がすたる

待たせてばかりで　すまねえが

浜の味噌汁　のみてえな

The barking raging ocean, I put my life on the line

Heading towards the fish market along the white wave path

The tunnel of waves, approaching the tunas

They bite onto my arms

I caught it, ee, I caught it, ee

Going back home unfinished I cannot bear

I'm sorry that I keep you waiting all the time

I want to drink the miso soup on the beach

When the man of the sea is disheartened

Enka is the best, it gets to my heart

Until I go home with the big catch flag

We work together and fight

I caught it, ee, I caught it, ee

I was to see your smile soon

I remember the warmth of your white skin

Wait with our mischievous son

I caught it, ee, I caught it, ee

Going back home unfinished I cannot bear

I'm sorry that I keep you waiting all the time

I want to drink the miso soup on the beach

Ōshiro Banesa(大城バネサ)

Ōshiro Banesa(大城バネサ) is an enka singer from Argentina (nisei or second-generation Argentine with Japanese ancestors). Her father and her mother's paternal grandparents were from Okinawa. As a result, she was exposed to traditional Okinawa and other Japanese music from an early age.

She first sang in public when she was three years old, singing "Along for the Ride(みちづれ Michidzure)" by Makimura Mieko(牧村三枝子).

In 2001, she won the "NHK Amateur Singing Contest(NHKのど自慢 NHK Nodo Jiman)" held in Argentina that year and the next year, she represented Argentina in the "NHK Amateur Singing Contest(NHKのど自慢 NHK Nodo Jiman)" in Japan and became the grand champion singing Kadokura Yuki(門倉有希)'s "A woman's Fishing Song(女の漁歌 On'nano Ryōka)." She moved to Japan that year, and made her professional debut the next year in 2003, singing "It's an Ocean where Even Seagulls Don't Fly(鷗も飛ばない海だよ Kamomemo Tobanai Umidayo)."

She wore pants suits when she made her debut but now wears dresses from time to time.

Though she has learned quite a bit of Japanese since she started living in Japan, she got used to the way men speak because most of her staff were men. As a result, she is extra careful when she is speaking in public.
