Paroles et traduction Hibari Misora - 鼻唄マドロス

鼻唄マドロス

「旅行けば 駿河の国に茶の香り...」
粋な文句を 一と節唸りゃ
鴎仲間が 聞き惚れる
あいつは若い マドロスさ
なにがなにして なんとやら
エー なんとやら 名調子

「赤道を 南に下る 月の夜...」
波がつぶやく 口三味線に
のせて自慢の 渋い喉
木戸銭なしの サービスさ
なにがなにして なんとやら
エー なんとやら 浪花節

「海行けば 日本の港 夢に見る...」
髭の親父の 船長さんと
世界道中 ひと廻り
鯨も鱶も 顔馴染み
なにがなにして なんとやら
エー なんとやら 海の旅

Whistling Sailor

When I travel, the scent of tea in Suruga...
A stylish sentence, a single verse hummed,
Seagull buddies listen, spellbound.
He's a young sailor, you see.
What's he doing, what's he up to?
Ah, what's he up to? What a beautiful voice.

Red equator, moonlit night...
Waves murmur, a shamisen in their mouths,
Carrying his proud, husky voice.
A free service, no admission fee.
What's he doing, what's he up to?
Ah, what's he up to? A ballad.

Out on the sea, dreaming of Japanese ports...
With the captain, an old man with a beard,
They've sailed the world over.
Whales and sharks, they know them all.
What's he doing, what's he up to?
Ah, what's he up to? A sea voyage.
