尊顔見せ
尊顔見せ
あー沈む夕日の赤に
照らされて
爆ぜる光 水玉の中に
飾れよ
情を込めて
あー踊れよ
見るもの達も
Don’t forget
Your life is your life
Not special
But it’s a miracle
連がなされ踊り狂い
謳歌して見せて そこに
情が混ざり ancestor
どうかここへと motivator
哀れなるもくじきたるも
笑わにゃいかんそりゃ大勢見てるさ
猥雑おり混ぜて
下品にいこう
真剣そのもの
光る暗闇で光る
光る暗闇で光る
集まり熱が雨降らす
Don’t forget
Your life is your life
Not special
But it’s a miracle
Keep your head up
Be ready to dance now
Keep your arms up
Be ready to sync now
Don’t forget
Your life is your life
Not special
But it’s a miracle
Keep your knees low
Be ready to dance now
Keep your arms up
Be ready to sync now
腰は低く手は頭上に
辛いこの世の生活は
昔からだ そん時から
まぐわういざなう遊び
降り注いだ奇跡の札
突き動かされる 情動
先導するカネの音が
すぐそこまで来ている
淡いお月さんが見てる
笑ってるぜ
私たちはこの地上で踏ん張るんだ
踊りはまだ止まらない
大勢が集まる
踊りはまだ止まらない
止まらない 力
この世を 謳歌
お祝いたれ 三礼され
万来たれ 矮大なれ
尊顔見せ
尊顔見せ
あー沈む夕日の赤に
照らされて
爆ぜる光 水玉の中に
飾れよ
情を込めて
あー踊れよ
見るもの達も

Ouka
YUIMA ENYA, J.A.K.A.M.
The Awa Odori dance, which originated in the 1580s in Japan, is a celebratory event that puts people in a liberating mood and it spread explosively throughout the country at a time when there was no means of communication. Learning about the origins of the dance, I was reminded of how fundamental and necessary it is in our daily lives. The lyrics of the song "Ouka" truly express the dances that are a part of people's lives from the past to the present. The groove produced by the gongs has a Japanese as well as African feel to it, and while the song is Japanese, it has become universal and can be appreciated all over the world.
