さとうきび畑 Satoukibi-batake
森山 良子 Ryoko Moriyama
This is a song about a girl who was born on August 15th 1945 in Okinawa. It was first recorded in 1969 by Ryoko Moriyama as one of the songs in her album. This song later became well known through the song program for children, "Minna no Uta".
The lyrics reminds us how much pain and sorrow the war will bring to the people's lives. This song is an anti-war song through the eyes of a ordinary girl who lost her father because of the war. We mustn't forget our pledge never to engage in war again.
The complete song is very long as you can see below. The singers usually sing only part of the song. "ざわわ (Zawawa)" expresses the sound of the leaves of sugar canes swaying in the wind.
