Yuzo Kayama (1976) Umi Sono Ai (Mother Ocean’s Love)

Embraced by the ocean
If I am a real man
Even when I may fail
I will hold on to my passionate dream

Embraced by the ocean
If I am a real man
Even if I may be alone
Guided by the stars
I will ride over the waves

Oh ocean, my dearest ocean
You give me the deepest love
Your deepest love accepts man’s feelings
And gives us hope for living tomorrow

Embraced by the ocean
If I am a real man
I entrust my life to you
Because I only have my life

Embraced by the ocean
If I am a real man
I will survive a storm because I only have one chance
I will go to a far place

Oh ocean, my mother ocean
You give me the deepest love
Embrace a man’s emptiness into your arms
Let me forget suffering
Let me feel at ease

Oh ocean, my dearest ocean
You give me the deepest love
Your deepest love accepts man’s feelings
And gives us hope for living tomorrow

Oh ocean, my dearest ocean
You give me the deepest love
Your deepest love accepts man’s feelings
And gives us hope for living tomorrow
