These are songs that were played at meetings of the Uta Sanshin Circle.
Since many of us are English speakers. Lyrics in romaji are provided.
Romaji of Okinawan lyrics can be variable because it is difficult to duplicate the exact pronunciation of Hogen and singers from different regions or times may pronounce words differently. My apologies for what sometimes may seem like awkward or incorrect spelling.
Tarou’s web site: Shima Uta majime na kenkyou. Serious study of Shima Uta.
has lyrics to close to 300 songs. All in Japanese and with phonetic romaji.
