ted egan - sayonara nakamura lyrics

Loading...

when the luggers all sailed away from roebuck bay on that fateful day
the diver on the b19 was nakamura
not yet 21 from the land of the rising sun
his homeland was the island okinawa

in the deepest holes of the lassety shoals to fulfill the pearling master’s goals
when the diver from the b19 young nakamura
his quest for the l+strous pearl was as strong as his love for the beautiful girl
he’d wed when he returned to okinawa

but it’s goodbye now farewell
say goodbye to okinawa
for today they’ll bury you in west australia
you’ll never be as one
with the land of the rising sun
sayonara sayonara nakamura

from the west came a tropical squall
and the mercury began to fall
40 fathoms deep was nakamura
set sail no time to stage
for the storm began to rage
so they dragged to the surface the boy from okinawa

the agony is in his eyes
and on the lay land cries
he knows that the bends have got young nakamura
helplessly they cursed as the diver’s lungs near burst
and he died on the deck the boy from okinawa
but it’s goodbye now farewell
say goodbye to okinawa
for today they’ll bury you in west australia
you will never be as one
with the land of the rising sun
sayonara sayonara nakamura

to the diver’s cemetery at broome
bearing gifts all deep in gloom
they walked with the body of the diver nakamura
headstones face the west
a thousand divers lay at rest
and they’re joined today by the boy from okinawa

and it’s goodbye now farewell
say goodbye to okinawa
for today they’ll bury you in west australia
you will never be as one
with the land of the rising sun
sayonara sayonara nakamura

and it’s goodbye now farewell
sayonara okinawa

[j+panese lyrics]
