Вступление
[Verse 1]
D
When the luggers all sailed away
from Roebuck Bay on that fateful day
A
The diver on the B19 was Nakamura
D
Not yet twenty—one
from the Land of the Rising Sun
A D
His homeland was the island, Okinawa.
D
In the deepest holes of the Lacepede sholes
to fulfil the pearling master's goals
A
Went the diver of the B19 Young Nakamura
D
His quest for the lustrous pearl,
as strong as his love for the beautiful girl
A D
He'd wed when he returned to Okinawa.
[Chorus]
D G D
But it's goodbye now, farewell
G D
Say goodbye, to Okinawa
For today, they'll bury you
A
In West Australia
D
And you will never be as one
G D
with the Land of the Rising Sun
A D
Sayonara, sayonara, Nakamura.
[Verse 2]
D
From the west came a tropical squall
and the mercury began to fall
A
Forty fathoms deep was, Nakamura
D
Set sail : no time to stage
for the storm began to rage
And they dragged to the surface
A D
the boy from Okinawa.
D
The agony is in his eyes
An old Malay man cries
For he knows the bends
A
have got young, Nakamura
D
Helplessly they cursed
As the diver's lungs near burst
And he died on the deck
A D
the boy from Okinawa.
[Chorus]
D G D
But it's goodbye now, farewell
G D
Say goodbye, to Okinawa
For today, they'll bury you
A
In West Australia
D
And you will never be as one
G D
with the Land of the Rising Sun
A D
Sayonara, sayonara, Nakamura.
[Verse 3]
D
To the diver's cemetery in Broome
bearing gifts, all deep in gloom
They walked with the body
A
of the diver, Nakamura
D
Headstones face the West
A thousand divers lie at rest
and they're joined today by the boy from,
A D
Okinawa.
[Chorus x 2]
D
So it's goodbye now, farewell ...
Alternative final chorus :
D G D
So it's goodbye now, farewell
G D
Say goodbye to Okinawa
A
Kimi ga, nemuru chi, Nishi Australia
D G D
Mo kailenu sokoku ni Itoshiki furusato
D A D
Sayonara, Sayonara, Nakamura
