噛めば噛むほど味が出る これでもかってほど味が出る
そんなあなたにあこがれる ああ あこがれる
はるかな故郷をあとにして 食われる覚悟で旅に出た
イカの魂 無駄にはしない
だけどもね ほんとにね 食われることになるとはね
乾きものだと呼ばれても お前の涙を忘れない
イカが泣くわけないけれど ああ ないけれど
あぶって伸ばして引き裂いて乾かせよ
あぶって伸ばして引き裂いて乾かせよ
イカの魂 無駄にはしない
I love さきいか 小島食品工場 おお おお
Kameba kamu hodo aji ga deru kore demo katte hodo aji ga deru
Son'na anata ni akogareru aa akogareru
Harukana kokyou o ato ni shite kuwa reru kakugo de tabi ni deta
Ika no tamashii muda ni wa shinai
Dakedomo ne hontoni ne kuwa reru koto ni naru to wa ne
Kawaki monoda to yoba rete mo omae no namida o wasurenai
Ika ga naku wake naikeredo aa naikeredo
Abutte nobashite hikisaite kawaka seyo
Abutte nobashite hikisaite kawaka seyo
Ika no tamashii muda ni wa shinai
I love saki ika Kojima shokuhin koujou oo oo
The more you chew, the more flavor you get!
And when you think there can’t be more,
you still get more flavor!
That’s what makes you really shine,
and shine is just what you do!
Leaving your hometown oh-so far behind
Heading on a journey, prepared to be eaten
The spirit of squid will not be wasted on me!
But the truth is,
you couldn’t have expected you’d be eaten one day
They may say you’re dried up, now
But, I will never forget your tears
Even though there should be no way a squid could cry
No, there shouldn’t be at all!
Cook it, pull it, dice it, and dry it up — now!
Cook it, pull it, dice it, and dry it up — now!
The spirit of squid will not be wasted on me!
I love the dried squid from the Kojima Food Factory!
Oh, oh, oh
