荒波が打ち寄せる 岬にひとり立ち

あれこれと夢を見た 少年の頃

あれから幾度の春秋(はるあき)が 通り過ぎたけど

犬吠埼よ この俺の

生き様いまも 今も変わらじ

君ヶ浜ハマナスは 今年も咲いてるか

漁師(おとこ)達大漁節 歌っているか

今夜はなぜだか故郷が やけに恋しくて

犬吠埼よ その灯り

届けてほしい 時代(とき)の迷子に

年老いた父ひとり 達者でいるのかな

この夏は帰りたい 祭りの頃に

黒生(くろはい) 長崎 海鹿島(あしかじま) 騒ぐ海鳥も

犬吠埼よ もう少し

歩いてみるよ 風に吹かれて

I stand alone on the cape where rough waves crash

When I was a young boy around the time when I dreamt many things

Though many springs and autumns have passed by since then

Oh Inubōsaki, the way I

Live my life, even now, now, still hasn't changed

Are the Japanese roses of Kimigahama blooming again this year

Are the fishermen singing the Big Catch bushis*?

Tonight, for some reason I'm very homesick

Oh Inubōsaki, your light

I want you to deliver it to those lost wandering inside the era

I wonder if my elderly father is in good health

This summer I want to go home around the time of the festival

Kurohai Nagasaki Ashikajima even the rowdy seabirds

Oh Inubōsaki a bit more

I will walk, blown by the wind

*Bushi is a type of Japanese folk song often heard during local festivals.
