Slowly but Surely, ©TORIYAMA Yoshiki

(G C F C)

Our keyword is not a word. It’s more like something warm.

Our keyword is not a word. It’s more like something fun.

We were born in different islands.

We didn’t know each other.

But we just laugh together now,

as if we’ve been friends.

(C D Bm7 Em)

Slowly but just surely, we got closer. We got closer.

It was slowly but just surely, we got closer. We got closer.

Our keyword is not a word. It’s more like something warm.

Our keyword is not a word. It’s more like something fun.

(Em A Bm7 C/D A Bm7 C)

Cherish what you have. 今あるものを大切に。

Cherish what you have. Chothowliy ea Nam Rom(ツソーリ ア ノム ロム)

Slowly but just surely, we got closer. We got closer.

It was slowly but just surely, we got closer. We got closer.

“Slowly but surely..” a song by Toriyama

At the end of the farewell party, TORIYAMA Yoshiki, a volunteer once visited Yap, sang a song written by himself. He was inspired by many words spoken by Yapese youth in the program. The phrase, “slowly but surely,” is also from a Yapese participant.

フェアウェルパーティの後、過去のプログラムでヤップ島にも滞在したことがある鳥山さんが、今回の滞在に同行しながら作成した歌を披露しました。ヤップの若者たちの言葉をちりばめた素敵な歌でした。タイトルになった「slowly but surely」も、参加者の一人の言葉だそうです。
