Translation of the song 進水式 artist Kirinji
進水式
Shinsuishiki (Boat launching ceremony)
ためらわずロープを切って
Cut the rope without hesitation
海に放っておくれよ
Let it go and leave it to the ocean
新しい船を
A new ship
見慣れぬ船
An unfamiliar ship
君の手でロープを切って
Cut the rope with your hands
そして名付けて欲しい
And then I want you to give it a name
美しい船さ
This beautiful ship
われらの船だ
it's ours!
鮮やかにテープよ、輝け
Shine on, bright tape!
特別な日だから
Because it's a special day
汽笛を高く響かせたら
If you hear the whistle blow high pitched
祝いの酒を叩き割ろうぜ
we'll break the bottles of celebratory sake
金色のコンパス
A golden compass
見ろ、ぴしゃりと北を指ししめす
See, it points shyly north
君が今日、ロープを切った
Today you'll cut the rope
どこを目指してゆこう
and set off in a direction of our choosing
美しい船が
This beautiful ship
われらの船だ
it's ours!
広くて深い海の向こう
Beyond the wide and deep sea
波が高くとも
Even if the waves are high
沖で一羽の蝶を見たよ
I saw a butterfly off the coast
手旗は赤白はためいて
Our flag is fluttering red and white
波は静かで
The waves are quiet and
海は空よりずっと青い青
The sea is a bluer blue than the sky
晴れ渡った
The sun comes out
嵐は去った
The storm is over
僕の髪も短い
My hair is also short
美しい船が
This beautiful ship
われらの船だ
it's ours!
不可思議な世界を探ろう
We'll explore this mysterious world
必ず生きて還ろう
and we'll definitely make it home alive
必ず生きて還ろう
We'll definitely make it home alive
