I’m sitting here in front of the door
But I don’t care It’s the inside or outside
Because both is alike
I have started thinking about something
It’s too boring doing nothing
I don’t have any particular problems
But it’s just a habit
I’d like to paint
In my notebook in my head
Concrete wall around me
Bring me some wine
You’re always doing so
And I’m busy seeing my flowers
But we are not prison guards
It’ll be better for us going out somewhere
You know it’s like we’ve already been everywhere
It’s the same if we go anywhere
I... I want to do so, too
But you know it’s the same
I know that
I just want to be released
Released… and live in another place
Yes, yes! I’ll go somewhere
Somewhere like an island
Where there are tropicals all around
Where people sing and dance
I’ll be moving to an island
I’ll be moving to an island
Let me know, where is that?
I’ll go there someday
Someday I’ll be released
Now I’ll be quiet
Someday I’ll be free
Someday, someday, someday, someday
I’m bringing you some wine
Let me drink it a little
Now I’m planting my flowers
In the small garden
I’ve always been dreaming
That somehow I can slip out of this island
Yes, it’s the place many people hope to
Spend all their vacation in
I’ve grown up here
I’ve grown up told I have to
Carry on the tradition
I had to were a strange dress
And learn an old-fashioned dance
I’ve never been to other countries
Oh, I wish once I could go for a sightseeing
Cut off coconuts!
Strike hot springs!
For your island’s freedom and peace!
Sling a hammock!
Wish I could run away and rest
Run away and rest
Run away and take a rest
Somewhere but here
I am a farmer in a small village
My duty is to be given the god’s harvest of yam
We, the villagers, can’t read or write well
But we are on good terms
And there’s something we all like to talk about
They say, a man called Napoleon
Is coming to our land
We’re all longing for it
They say he’ll take us to a better place to live
What will it be like?
How happy will we be?
What day is it today?
I can’t sleep well at night
Didn’t I tell you so?
