Seto no hanayome
Seto wa higurete yuunami konami
Anata no shima he oyome ni yuku no
Wakai to daremo ga shimpai suru keredo
Ai ga arukara daidjoubu nano
Dan dan batake to sayonara suruno yo
Osanai otouto yukuna to naita
Otoko dattara naitari sezuni
Toosan Kaasan daiji ni shitene
Misaki mawaru no chiisana fune ga
Umareta shima ga tooku ni naru wa
Irie no mukou de miokuru hito tachi ni
Wakare tsugetara namida ga deta wa
Shima kara shima he to watatte yukuno yo
Anata to korekara ikiteku watashi
Seto wa yuuyake ashita mo hareru
Futari no kadode iwatte iru wa
The Bride of the Seto Inland Sea
The strait is calm, the evening tide, the sunset glow
I'm going to your island as your bride
Everyone worries about our youth
But love is there, so it's all right
Gradually, I'll say goodbye to the fields
My young brother cried, 'Don't go'
If you were a man, you wouldn't cry or hesitate
Take care of Mom and Dad
The small boat goes around the cape
The island where I was born becomes distant
On the other side of the inlet, to the people seeing me off
When I announce our parting, tears flow
From island to island, I'll cross over
Living with you from now on
The Seto Inland Sea, the sunset, tomorrow will be clear
We're exchanging vows at our home
