*''Japanese'': 安里屋ユンタ ''(asadoya yunta)''
''Asadoya yunta'' is a traditional folk song from the [[Yaeyama Islands]] which, in a version with lyrics in [[Japanese language|standard Japanese]], has become the most popular, or most widely-known Okinawan folk song.
The original Yaeyama lyrics tell of a girl named Kuyaama, from [[Taketomi Island]], who is to be given as a bribe to an official. She refuses him, however, and the official takes a different girl as his wife. Kuyaama marries a man from the island, and goes on to live a poor but happy life.
