Toushindooi (唐船ドーイ)



Toushindooi is a fast paced celebration song where people dance kachashi (カチャーシー). “Toushindooi” during the Ryukyu Kingdom era meant “a (trade) ship is coming!” The song is played nowadays for to end parties, gatherings, or events.


Lyrics:
唐船(とうしん)ドーイさんてーまん
いっさん走(は)えならんしや
若狭(わかさ)町村(まちむら)ぬ さー瀬名波(しなふぁ)ぬ タンメー
ハイヤ センスル ユイヤナ



Romanji version:
Toushindooi santeeman
Issan haenaranshiya yuiyana
Wakasa machimura nu saashinafa nu tanmee
Haiya sensuru yuiyana
