Lyrics and translation Fuyumi Sakamoto - 兄弟船

兄弟船

波の谷間に命の花が
ふたつ並んで咲いている
兄弟船は親父のかたみ

型は古いがしけにはつよい
おれと兄貴のヨ夢の揺り篭さ

陸に上って酒のむときは
いつもはりあう恋仇
けれども沖の漁場に着けば
やけに気の合う兄弟鴎
力合わせてヨ綱を捲きあげる

たったひとりのおふくろさんに
楽な暮らしをさせたくて
兄弟船は真冬の海へ
雪の簾をくぐって進む
熱いこの血はヨおやじゆずりだぜ

Brothers' Boat

In the depths of the waves, amidst the sea foam,
Two flowers bloom, their petals intertwine.
My brother and I share a boat, a legacy from our sire.

Though old in form, she withstands the raging sea.
A cradle for our hopes and dreams, it sets us free.

On land, we share the joy of a drink,
Forever rivals, love's embrace we seek.
But on the open sea, amidst the spray,
Brothers bound, we become seagulls at play.
Together, we heave the nets with all our might,

For our mother, who toils alone in the night.
Seeking a life of ease, we brave the winter's chill,
Guiding our boat through snow and frozen seas.
The fire in our veins, a legacy from our kin,
Brothers united, weathering the windiest of sins.
