沖の瀬の瀬に　船影ひとつ

あれはあなたか　お帰りか

漁場仲間の　カモメをつれて

自慢のうたごえ　ねばり節

ヤンザヤンザと　波が立つ

シュルルシュルルと　風が吹く

江差港は　追分みなと

わたし待ってる　恋おんな

母をたすけて　ホッケを捌（さば）き

浜に乾してる　おなご衆

ゆめにみるのは　あの金屏風

かわいい嫁御に　なれるやら

ヤンザヤンザと　働いて

シュルルシュルルと　日が暮れる

海の稼ぎの　銭（ぜに）っこよりも

わたしあなたに　抱かれたい

ヤンザヤンザと　波が立つ

シュルルシュルルと　風が吹く

江差港は　追分みなと

わたし待ってる　恋おんな

Okino seno seni funakage hitotsu
Arewa anataka okaerika
Ryōbanakamano kamomewo tsurete
Jiman'no utagoe nebaribushi
Yanza yanzato namiga tatsu
Shururu shururuto kazega fuku
Esashiminatowa oiwakeminato
Watashi matteru koion'na

Hahawo tasukete hokkewo sabaki
Hamani hoshiteru onagoshū
Yumeni mirunowa ano kinbyōbu
Kawai'i yomegoni nareruyara
Yanza yanzato hataraite
Shururu shururuto higa kureru
Umino kasegino zenikkoyorimo
Watashi anatani dakaretai

Yanza yanzato namiga tatsu
Shururu shururuto kazega fuku
Esashiminatowa oiwakeminato

Watashi materu koion'na

The offing's shallows of the shallow, a shadow of a boat

Is that you returning

Bringing along your fishing companions, the seagulls

Your singing voice your pride, stubborn bushi*

Yanza yanza the waves rise

Shururu shururu the winds blow

Esashi Harbor is the branching harbor

I will be waiting, a woman in love

Helping the mother dress a mackerel

Drying clothes at the seashore, a group of women

Dreaming about that golden folding screens

I wonder if I can be a pretty bride

Yanza yanza working

Shururu shururu the sun sets

Rather than making a living at the sea

I would rather be held by you

Yanza yanza the waves rise

Shururu shururu the winds blow

Esashi Harbor is the branching harbor

I will be waiting, a woman in love
