玄海船歌

出航まぎわに あの娘がそっと
俺のこの手に 握らせた

赤い小さな お守り袋
腹の晒に 巻きつけて
男なら 男なら やるだけやるたい 気ばるたい
面舵いっぱい オッショイ 玄海灘だ

若い苦労は 買ってもしろと
いつもおふくろ 言っていた

泣くな負けるな 弱音を吐くな
辛抱してこそ 花が咲く
男なら 男なら やるだけやるたい 気ばるたい
大漁日和だ オッショイ 玄海灘だ

船と港は 離れちゃいても
夢は一本 命綱

吼える荒波 逆巻く飛沫
あの娘想えば なんのその
男なら 男なら やるだけやるたい 気ばるたい
取り舵いっぱい オッショイ 玄海灘だ

Genkai Boat Song

Just as we set sail, my girl gently
Placed this in my hand.

A small, red amulet pouch,
I've wrapped it around my belly.
As a man, as a man, I'll give it my all, I'll persevere.
Hard to starboard, heave-ho! The Genkai Sea!

Embrace the struggles of youth,
My mother always told me.

Don't cry, don't give up, don't complain,
Endure, and you'll blossom.
As a man, as a man, I'll give it my all, I'll persevere.
A fine day for fishing, heave-ho! The Genkai Sea!

Even though the ship and harbor are separated,
My dreams are my lifeline.

Roaring waves, swirling spray,
Thinking of my girl, I can overcome anything.
As a man, as a man, I'll give it my all, I'll persevere.
Hard to port, heave-ho! The Genkai Sea!
