If, for the sake of protecting love,
+
I was seen in such a light
+
by the pale eye of society,
+
should I continue to endure it?
+
your elder brother keeps on living.
+
And so, with an earnest face, with innocence,
+
without turning your back on me, little brother,
+
float to the top of the stormy waves of the world.
+
For that purpose, even stained by lies,
+
even deceiving the entire world,
+
more than the oceans, more than the mountains,
+
[behold] the grandeur of elder-brotherly love.
+
Even if childish little you
+
nothing but a nuisance,
+
someday, in this unending love,
+
I wonder if you'll notice
+
your elder brother's triumphance.
+
So, then, all your pouting and complaining --
+
don't become such a simple fool!
+
No one will need to say
+
they feel sorry for you.
+
More than anyone else, I'm always with you;
+
I want to protect you unceasingly.
+
In the middle of this rough world,
+
it makes you want to cry, doesn't it? Fraternal love.
+
For that purpose, even stained by lies,
+
even deceiving the entire world,
+
how beautiful, how sweet,
+
a parental heart's elder-brotherly love.
+
More than anyone else, I'm always with you;
+
I want to protect you unceasingly.
+
In the middle of this rough world,
+
it makes you want to cry, doesn't it? Elder-brotherly love.
+
A parental heart's elder-brotherly love.
+
Beautiful fraternal love.
