"Windy Island"

This is about a windy island.
I can't find any places where there's no wind.
I'm talking about a windy island.
Even birds must try to ride the wind here.
Thugh it's a sunny day, and a cloud is moving so fast,
I'm trying to go forward,
but it's all waste of time.
Because it's a sunny day, so I'm walking along the seashore,
and it's too early to play with the water.
Maybe I only see the lee shore instead.
Daytime, I feel it to my face.
Nighttime, I feel it to my ears.
Anytime, I feel it to my body.
It's 24 hours and never stops.
This is about a windy island.
I can't find any places without a wind.
I'm talking about a windy island.
Even birds can't fly with their wings.
Though it's a sunny day, and a cloud is coming daily,
and I'm passing through them slowly.
I still feel there's a still here.
Because it's a sunny day, I'm riding a bike to the top of the hill
and I wished I could fly with a bird,
but flying against a wind is not so easy.
Daytime I see it in the fields.
Nighttime I see it on the sea.
Anytime I see it to the sky.
It's 365 days and never stops.
Even if I have wings, I won't be able to fly.
Even if I am a bird, I won't fly just for a fun.
Living with winds, living with birds,
living with a hope, may the wind stop just for today.
This is about a windy island.
I can't find any places there's no wind.
I'm talking about a windy island.
Even birds must try to ride the wind here.
Even birds can't enjoy to ride the wind here.
Even birds would die to ride the wind here.

I reached this island from Norway by boat early morning.
Tried to find a place to pitch a tent but the wind was so strong
and it almost blew away my tent,
so I waited for the morning to come one of the phone booth
that wasa the only place I could find in the island where the wind was not that strong.
