THE WHALE

Lyrics (English)

[Intro]

This is Inu-oh's "The Whale" !
It's the year 1185 at Dan-no-ura.
The leider of the Heike, Munemori sees the approaching Genji
and calls for a diviner.

[Verse 1]

A huge, huge whale
A huge whale is coming.
Come on!
( A huge, huge whale is coming, a huge whale is coming)
He stakes it all on 1000 dolphins,
If they turn and swim back the Heike will win at Dan-no-ura.
( A huge, huge whale [Sing it!] A huge whale is coming )
The dolphins will show who fortune favors
Well, whose side they're on? What will the future bring?
( A huge, huge whale [Come on!] a huge whale is coming [Come on everyone!] )
( A huge huge whale [A huge whale..] a huge whale is coming )

[Break]

[Verse 2]

Tired of waiting for the 100-year whale,
The 1000 dolphins that turned away from the Heike!
Come on!
(The whale did not come, the whale didn't come!)
The Heike have fallen, but it's not over!
You'd think I'd let the story end here?
( The whale is yet to come, the whale is still yet to come )
I've been waiting and waiting so long
100 years for the whale to sure return
( 1000 dolphins, 10000 dolphins, still waiting for those dolphins to come )
Waiting for the day they swim back
From the distant shore across the sea
( We've been waiting for so long, and still waiting for the whale to come )
Because I will still believe in it
No matter how long it will take, no matter!
( Waiting for it to come, and still waiting for it to come )
( Waiting for it to come, and still waiting for it to come )
Singing till the day the whale returns
Whale!
