When I asked a seagull a tidal news, I am leaving now
Ask the waves the same – choi
Yasa e en ya en sa no dokkoisho
A dokkoisho, dokkoisho!

I will sleep on a satin pillow tonight
Tomorrow I’ll be out and sleep on the waves – choi
Yasa e en ya en sa no dokkoisho
A dokkoisho, dokkoisho!

A man of six feet tall must be brave
I will lean far out over the waves – choi
Yasa e en ya en sa no dokkoisho
A dokkoisho, dokkoisho!

If the seagulls could talk with me
I’d like to chat with them and exchange some news – choi
Yasa e en ya en sa no dokkoisho
A dokkoisho, dokkoisho!

It’s fun to hear the seagulls chatting on the sea
So I cannot stop being a fisherman – choi
Yasa e en ya en sa no dokkoisho
A dokkoisho, dokkoisho!
