Lyrics and translation Junko Yagami - くじらの唄

くじらの唄

海風にふわり包まれた
あの日聞こえたの
大きくてもやさしさあふれる
くじらの声が

こどもくじらは夢見ます
翼がほしいと
遠く広く澄んだ青空で
潮吹きたいと

もしもぼくが流れ星を
追い越せたならば
何が見えるのかな

くじらの唄が聞こえますか
あなたは夢を話せますか

蒼くうねり 風がたたく
さかまく荒波を乗り越えて

母のくじらは信じます
永遠のきずなを
海へ還るすべての生命は
生まれかわると

もしも私がサンゴになっても
この子の母として
ずっと守りたいの

くじらの唄が歌えますか
あなたは何を信じますか

まばゆい朝も 星降る夜も
変わらないこの愛抱きしめて

くじらの唄が聞こえますか
あなたの胸に届きますか

花咲く春も 輝く夏も
山燃ゆ秋も 雪舞う冬も
7つの大海をかきわけて

くじらの唄を歌いながら
心ひとつになれませんか

生きる日々も 還る日にも
素敵な笑顔でいれますように

Whale's Song

Wrapped gently in the sea breeze,
That day I heard it,
Big, yet full of tenderness,
The whale's voice.

The baby whale dreams,
Of having wings,
In the distant, wide, clear blue sky,
To spout.

If I could outrun a shooting star,
What would I see?
I wonder.

Can you hear the whale's song?
Can you tell me your dreams?

Blue swells, the wind blows hard,
Overcoming the raging waves.

The mother whale believes,
In the eternal bond,
That all life returning to the sea,
Will be reborn.

Even if I become a coral,
As this child's mother,
I want to protect him forever.

Can you sing the whale's song?
What do you believe in?

Dazzling mornings, star-filled nights,
Embracing this unchanging love.

Can you hear the whale's song?
Does it reach your heart?

Blooming spring, shining summer,
Burning autumn mountains, snow-dancing winter,
Across the seven seas.

Singing the whale's song,
Can't we become one in heart?

In the days we live, and the days we return,
May we always have beautiful smiles.
