朝日をあびた 丘の上の
Asahi o abita oka no ue no
The morning sun rises over the hill
木立にうもれた 古い家
Kotachi ni umoreta furui ie
And the old house nestled in a grove of trees
朝吹く風に 想いたくし
Asafuku kaze ni omoitakushi
The morning breeze brings many memories
今日もまた君は 旗をあげる
Kyou mo mata kimi wa hata o ageru
Today once again I raise these flags
丘の上の君 海の上の僕
Oka no ue no kimi - umi no ue no boku
You on the hill top - me on the sea
君の想いが 届くのならば
Kimi no omoi ga todoku no naraba
If it will bring back memories of you
僕の想いも 届くだろうか
Boku no omoi mo todoku darou ka
It will bring back my memories too, will it not?
[Bridge]
航海の安全を 祈りながら
Koukai no anzen o inori nagara
I pray for a safe voyage
彼方に君は 呼びかける
Kanata ni kimi wa yobikakeru
And call out to you in the great beyond
三つの色の 二つの旗
Mitsu no iro no futatsu no hata
These two flags of three colors
知っているのは 僕とカラスだけ
Shitte iru no wa boku to karasu dake
Only the crows and I know of this
丘の上の君 海の上の僕
Oka no ue no kimi - umi no ue no boku
You on the hill top - me on the sea
君の想いは 風に舞いとび
Kimi no omoi wa kaze ni mai tobi
My memories dance and fly on the breeze
僕の想いは 潮に流れる
Boku no omoi wa shio ni nagareru
And memories of you flow with the tide
[Bridge]
今日もまた君は 旗をあげる
Kyou mo mata kimi wa hata o ageru
Today once again I raise these flags
帰らぬ返事を 待ちながら
Kaeranu henji o machi nagara
And wait for a reply that may never come
今日もまた僕は 返事をする
Kyou mo mata boku wa henji o suru
Today once again I signal
返事がなくとも 君からの
Henji ga nakutomo kimi kara no
Even if there is no reply from you.
