Ishi Kara Ishi By: Original Broadway Cast of Allegiance (ft. George Takei & Lea Salonga) [SAM] Keiko, always think of other. When you mommy die, You grow up so fast. Take care Sammy, Help with farm. Why you no go to dance, Have fun? Do American boogy woogy? [KEI] That's for kids. No one wants to dance with an old maid. [SAM] You crazy! How you can be old maid When I still so young? [SAM] Japanese say [Japanese] [Kei, spoken] A pretty lady [SAM] Should not sit home with old man on Saturday night. [KEI] That's not a proverb. [SAM] No, but should be!
Listen to Ojii-San: [SAM] Keiko look at page, Paper very bound. Now I look at Keiko, See how Keiko very sun. But paper also change, I fold it up this way. [KEI] A paper flower blossom [SAM] Just like Kei! [KEI] Nothing blooms at Heart Mountain. [SAM] You want bet? [?] I make garden grow in hard ground. [KEI] You're on! [SAM] You gonna lose. You know why? [KEI] Let me guess: Japanese say [Japanese] [SAM] Mountain can be moved. [SAM & KEI] Stone by stone. [Sam & Kei] Ishi Kara Ishi [Lyrics in Japanese]
