[Cheers by the boatmen as they row against the wind and current]
I’m going to Sakata (a major port along the Mogami River)
Take care of yourself
Be sure not to catch a cold
It is hard to say goodbye
The tail wind is pushing the boat from ashore
Don’t resent me,
Resent the wind
It’s for her
No matter how much I earn, it’s not enough
