波の花咲く 博多の湾(うみ)で

産湯をつかった 勇み肌

男まさりと 世間はいうが

父娘(おやこ)二代の この玄界灘(うみ)で

エンヤコラ エンヤコラ 夢を追う

玄海おんな船

祇園・山笠 見初めたひとは

東京生まれの 旅の人

噂きくたび せつないけれど

恋はお預け この次と

エンヤコラ エンヤコラ 網を引く

玄海おんな船

風にはためく 大漁旗を

夕陽が染めてる 志賀島(しかのしま)

度胸ひとつの 黒潮育ち

海で稼いで 母さんに

エンヤコラ エンヤコラ 親孝行

玄海おんな船

On the waters of Hakata where the flowers of waves bloom

The gallantry of those who had taken a first bath

Though people would call it manly

On the Sea of Genkai father and daughter

Enyakora enyakora chase our dreams

Genkai Woman's Boat

Gion Yamagasa festival, the man I fell in love with at first sight

A journeyman born in Tokyo

Though every time I hear rumors, it's painful

I forgo love and wait until next time

Enyakora enyakora I pull on the rope

Genkai Woman's Boat

The big catch flag which flaps in the wind

The sunset colors it, Shika Island

Relying on courage alone, raised with the Kuroshio Current

Work in the ocean, to my mother

Enyakora enyakora I work hard for her

Genkai Woman's Boat

盆に帰ろか それとも暮れか

それも出来ずに 幾年(いくとせ)過ぎた

山に朝霧 椎葉(しいば)の里よ

峠の古い あの生家(いえ)に

今も住んでる 母ひとり

呼べば谷間に こだまが返り

日暮れせまれば 夕げの煙り

夢にでるのは 幼い頃よ

親孝行の 真似事に

せめて手紙の ひとつでも

焼酎(おさけ)入れば 自慢の声で

父の歌った 十八番(おはこ)の唄が

今も聞こえる ひえつき節よ

瞼に抱いた 故郷(ふるさと)が

生きる明日(あした)の 支えです

Should I go back during the Bon Festival or close to the end of the year

Unable to do either, years had passed

The morning fog in the mountains, oh the valley of Shi'iba Village

The house located on the ancient pass

My mother who lives there alone

If I call out, the echo comes back to the valley

When the sunset approaches the smoke from the dinner rises

In my dream, I dream of the times when I was young

Feigning filial piety

At least a single letter

When he drank shōchū, with his proud voice

The favorite song my father used to sing

I can still hear it, the hietsukibushi*

The hometown I saw in my eyelids

Is my support to face tomorrow

*Hietsukibushi is a minyō from Miyazaki Prefecture.
