Ah, harukanaru unabara yo! Ude no naka ni // Ah, distant ocean!
Ah, itsumademo kono boku o daite okure! // Hold me in your arms forever!
Fukai soko ni tadayou, // Floating in the dark depths
Kaigara no you ni, // Like a seashell,
Nanimo kikoenai-- // I can't hear anything--
Nemuri no kuni. // The sleeping country.
Ah, eien ni kono mune wa // Ah, never hurt this heart
Kizutsukanai mou nido to! // Ever again!
Ah, harukanaru unabara yo! Tabi no toki o // Ah, distant ocean!
Ah, itsu no hi ka kono boku ni tsugete okure! // Tell me when I shall make my voyage!
Aoi kaze ni fukareru, // Being blown by the blue wind
Funabito no you ni, // Like a traveler,
Nanimo osorenai-- // I'm not afraid of anything--
Yuuki no kuni. // The courageous country.
Ah, eien ni kono yume o // Ah, never again
Akiramenai mou ichido! // Will I abandon this dream!
