This is one of my favorite folk songs. I've seen various spellings of the title.

I wanted to identify all the different versions available. These are the ones I know about:

1. Japanese Story (Original Soundtrack), Elizabeth Drake
- Chinsagu No Hana
- Hotel
- "Very Old Rock"
- "I'd Like To Be Involved" [Chinsagu No Hana]

2. Tinsagu no Hana, Rimi on the Beach, Rimi Natsukawa

3. Tinsagu no Hana, Okinawa Best Song Collection, Vol. I [ARTIST?]

4. Chinsagu nu Hana, Iha Four Sisters

I have never heard Japanese music as I don't understand this language.

Tinsagu no Hana (Basalm Flowers)

Note: Each verse has the same number of syllables, typical of Ryukyuu prose

Just as my fingernails are painted with the pigment from the basalm flowers, my heart is painted with the teachings of my parents.

Although the galaxies in the sky are countable, the teachings of my parents are not.

Just as the ships that run in the night are guided to safety by the polestar, I am guided by the parents who birthed me and watch over me.

Just as there's no point in owning splendid jewelry if you don't maintain it, human beings who maintain their bodies will live life wonderfully.

The wishes of he who lives sincerely always come true and he prospers.

You can do anything if you try, but you can't if you don't.
