I just finished translating these as best I could. There are still some meter problems for English singers in my translation, but that's a minor matter to correct and tweak.
I've provided the original Japanese lyrics with my translation here. What do you think? Please, be brutal - I want this to be the best I can make it.
Original:
かぞえきれない きょうだいたちと
あぶくのことばで はなしていたの
おぼえていますか ずっと昔に
お前は青いうみに いっしょにくらしていたの
クラゲもウニも サカナもカニも
みんな きょうだいだっ
おぼえていますか ずっと昔に
お前は青いうみに いっしょにくらしていたの
海ゆりゆれる 青いうち
おぼえていますか きょうだいたちを
My translation:
Seaweed waving free in the deep blue sea.
You''re part of a great family, together with countless siblings,
You speak to us in the language of bubbles.
Don't you remember when we swam together?
It was such a long time ago.
We were together in the same waters; parting was the hardest thing we've ever done.
Jellyfish and sea urchin, countless fish and crabs,
We are all a living family!
Don't you remember when we swam together?
It was such a long time ago.
We were together in the same waters; parting was the hardest thing we've ever done.
Seaweed waving free in the deep blue sea.
We are all a living family!
