[hey-mooo]

Bajo un halo favorable

Lo veo como ninguno

Lo deseo, lo anhelo, lo investigo y lo desnudo

Me gusta como te ves

De la cabeza a los pies

Me gusta verte al reves

🎶 KURUSHIMA KUDUCHI 🎶

Translation from "Nufani: English Translation of Kumiodori and Okinawan Poetry," Naganori Komine: 1. "The island of Kurushima is an ideal place, with old traditions and prosperity. Perennial beauty reigns throughout the island." Dancers: "It would be wonderful to have rain every ten days and a breeze over the abundant harvest. All the villages, Nakamutu, Alishiji, Yiku, Huri, Huki, and Miyazatu, at the quarters of the royal envoys, celebrate by playing the sanshin and sounding Ten Tun Ten." 2. “The shape of the island looks like a drop of rain, and the people enjoy dancing and feasting.” Dancers: “Last night the chiefs of the east and the west and many others gathered. Everyone participated in a tug of war. The two sides pulled as if their arms were made of iron, and stood strong as if their feet were made of sturdy pine. They cried: ‘Heave ho! Heave ho!’ One side eventually lost and hung up a white flag. This song celebrates this event.” 3. “Let’s all celebrate, both young and old, for the timely rain that falls from heaven every season.” Dancers: “This would be wonderful: ‘I am a mouse living in an office. We stole a dried octopus and showed it off on Meenu Nakamui Hill. The moon watched us run away from a cat.’ Let’s celebrate this event with this song.” 4. “I am attracted to the smell of plums and cherries. Let me enjoy them everyday with nubile young girls.” Dancers: “The month of June comes again. The feast for the god of grain has brought together young and old in the village. The young pushed the old people to the beach where they all saw the boat race. The beach looked like a colored painting with fragrant and colored clouds up above. ‘Heave ho!’ I was the judging official. The crew of the ship jumped up to the boat quickly, and trumpeted with a shell. Then, the race started. What a pleasure it was to see the boat race. Let’s sing about the race with this song.” 5. “What a wonderful life to be able to see a waning moon shining down on a moonlit beach.” Dancers: “It’s so funny that a big crab in the bushes bit the girls in Kurushima while they were sneaking around to catch it."

bones 💀 - what’s a hobby that you quit doing? do you miss it?

I pretty much stopped playing flute. I’ve played it more or less for 17 years. I used to be really good. Like contest winning, principal chair in regional orchestra good. I miss that aspect, I miss being great at something, being able to pour my soul into something and see it pay off. Flute wasn’t my favorite interest though. I wish I could transfer to those skills to fiddle or cello. When I play cello, which I’m slowly learning, I often get frustrated because I can’t express myself how I want to bc of my limitations in knowledge and experience. I miss being able to make music and play it with others. I miss that aspect a lot.

esperé y veo pasar todo con velocidad 

un tatuaje negro en tu brazo izquierdo

esa vez que fuimos a bailar 

y ví en tus ojos tanta claridad que me inundó y te sentí tan cerca

lo ví venir, y lo veo pasar todo lo que era nuestro todo lo que era nuestro 

y yo sigo aquí en el mismo lugar viviendo a destiempo ahora estas tan lejos

desperté ya sin tí me demoré pero no quise huír 

santiago ruge y yo camino lento

miro hacia afuera empiezo a recordar como se siente cuando ya no estás 

la pieza vacía, el frío que me quiebra

lo vi venir y lo veo pasar todo lo que era nuestro ahora estas tan lejos

ahora estas tan lejos de mí por las palabras que no supe decir 

ahora estas tan lejos de mí - sabes que no supe, tan lejos -

lo ví venir no quise escapar 

aunque me duele no me arrepiento que no estás aquí 

y no te puedo hablar yo te llevo dentro, 

un poco muy dentro
