海上风波十二天
晴柔雨烈总浑然
摇篮稚子常含笑
晃板娇妻小疰船
鸥鸟悬眉才满尺
鲸鱼出水已齐舷
长滩平陆无尘宇
一鸟一鲸盟比肩

Twelve days storms and heavy seas　
Kai⑴ laughs in his playpen hanging
on rough or gentle weather——It’s all one to him
Masa⑵ seasick, naps in the daytime
Seagull sails up, hangs there, a yard off my eye
A whale rolls up, doesn’t blow, just by the ship
A long land, a smooth land, clear sky
A whale
A gull
——To say hello.
