哥哥 [Gē gē] [English translation]

You said you were the elder brother, I was the younger

You wanted to shield me from the wind and the rain

We would be together through the toughest of times

And as one, search for the meaning in life

I have you, my older brother, in my heart

I want to shield you from the wind and the rain

I could never clearly tell you the words I wanted to say

The love of the hands and the feet*

The hearts of brothers

Brother, when I was young I always asked you

Why were you the elder and I the younger

You were always so stern

Why did you love me and never give up on me

Brother

I saw you in the rain and wind

Why did you never shed a tear

Brother

I want to stand together with you

I know you do not possess great strength either

You said you were the elder brother, I was the younger

You wanted to shield me from the wind and the rain

We would be together through the toughest of times

And as one, search for the meaning in life

I have you, my older brother, in my heart

I will also shield you from the wind and the rain

I could never clearly tell you the words I wanted to say

The love of the hands and the feet*

The hearts of brothers
