Fellowship Medley
Charles Jenkins & Fellowship Chicago Lyrics

Yohohoho, yohohoho
A cheerful and lively chant used to create a joyful atmosphere.

Binkusu no sake wo todoke ni yuku yo
We will sail across the sea to deliver our barrels of sake to those in need.

Umikaze kimakase namimakase
We trust the sea breeze and let the waves carry us to our destination.

Shio no mukou de yuuhi mo sawagu
Even beyond the tide, the sun still shines and spreads its light.

Sora nya wa wo kaku tori no uta
The birds sing a song that fills the sky with its melody.

Sayonara minato tsumugi no sato yo
Farewell to the port and we head towards a town known for its textile industry.

Don to icchou utao funade no uta
We all sing together a song that resonates with the rhythm of the oars.

Kinpa-ginpa mo shibuki ni kaete
The sparkling waves reflect the light, creating a beautiful and magical scene.

Oretachya yuku zo umi no kagiri
We will sail the sea as far as we can go.

Warera kaizoku umi watteku
We are pirates sailing across the sea.

Nami wo makura ni negura wa fune yo
We use the waves as pillows and rest on our boat.

Ho ni hata ni ketateru wa dokuro
Flags and sails flutter in the wind, like the dance of the dead.

Arashi ga kita zo senri no sora ni
A storm is coming, brewing in the distant sky.

Nami ga odoru yo doramu narase
The waves are dancing, accompanied by the sound of the drums.

Okubyoukaze ni fukakerya saigo
When we are hit by a strong headwind, it feels like the end is near.

Asu no asahi ga nai ja nashi
Tomorrow's dawn is not guaranteed, so we must live each day to the fullest.

Kyou ka asu ka to yoi no yume
A good dream, whether it's today or tomorrow.

Te wo furu kage ni mou aenai yo
We won't see the shadow of the person waving goodbye anymore.

Nani wo kuyokuyo asu mo tsukuyo
Worrying about tomorrow won't help, we must live in the present.

Douse dare demo itsuka wa hone yo
Regardless of who we are, someday we will all turn to dust.

Hatenashi, atenashi, waraibanashi
An endless, whimsical, and humorous story.
