Shike ga kajitta onboro bune de yo Dokyou hitotsu no sakana ni deru Anta buj de modoru you ni Batto omiki wo furimaite Saa saa otachi da abarebune Yuube atashi wo daiteta ude de yo Ami wo hiku no ka imagoro wa Anta yonde hoteru chibusa no Semete nukumori todoketai Kaze mo samukaro abarebune Horete horenuku aranami sodachi yo Namida misetara shikarareru Anta mukae hashiru misaki Oki ja tairyou no hata wo furu Kyou wa matsuri da abarebune

The stormy seas gnaw at your dilapidated boat With nothing but your courage, you set out to fish I scatter sacred wine So that you will come home safely Now stand up - stormy ship The arms that held me last night Are now pulling in the net My breast burns as I call out I just wish this warmth could reach you The wind must be cold - stormy ship Your heart belongs to the raging seas that raised you If I show you my tears, you'd just scold me I run down the promontory to greet you You wave your big catch out in the open sea Today's a festival - stormy ship
