Since I myself lack the knowledge to accurately relay these meanings, I'll just share a really good Youtube comment I read courtesy of "bruva207". This is his quote: "I just want to point out that this song is sung in the Ryukyu islands dialect from where Mugen hails. The Ryukujin were constantly attacked by the Shimazu and became vassals of the Satsuma domain, although it became a province they were always looked down by ethnically pure japanese and they suffered a shit storm during WW2 under imperialism. This song is supposedly about the whole struggles of the Ryukujin according to some articles I read about it. In the first episode when Mugen states that he's a Ryukujin they react with fear, mainly because after the Shimazu took ownership of the islands they banned them from having any sort of weapons, as a response to that and other impositions, a lot of Ryukujin turned to piracy and gained a lot of infamy, Mugen is one of them." - bruva207
