Yāren sōran sōran
Sōran sōran sōran, hai hai!
Nishin kita ka to kamome ni toeba,
Watasha tatsu tori nami ni kike choi.
Refrain
Yasa e en ya sa dokkoisho,

Yāren sōran…
Ichi-jō-go-shaku no ro o kogu fune mo
horeta ano go nya te mo choi
Refrain
Yāren sōran…
Tama no suhada ga shibuki ni nurerya
uwaki kamome ga mite sawagu choi
Refrain
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
May your reign
Continue for a thousand, eight thousand generations,
Until the tiny pebbles
Grow into massive boulders
Lush with moss
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Oh, soran, soran, soran
soran, soran, soran, yes, yes!
When we hear the jabbering of seagulls on the high seas,
we know we can’t give up our fishing lives on the ocean.
Refrain
Put your backs into it! Heave, ho! Heave, ho!
Heave, ho! Heave, ho!
Oh, soran, soran, soran
soran, soran, soran, yes, yes!
Boss, I tell you, the size of this catch of herring
is different from all the others. And it’s all mine.
Refrain
Oh, soran, soran, soran
soran, soran, soran, yes, yes!
Even if I row four and a half metres,
I couldn’t get that girl’s attention.
Refrain
Oh, soran, soran, soran
soran, soran, soran, yes, yes!
A flighty seagull twitters in excitement
As it sees my bare skin, glistening with ocean surf.
Refrain
