If you don't mind an amateur's work, then I'll take a shot at this. Be warned, the song contains more complex language than I originally expected, so this may be off, but I got it into something I don't mind posting.
Italics represent the translated Japanese verses.
Life is Like a Boat by Rie Fu
Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along
Who’s gonna comfort me and keep me strong?
We are all rowing a boat of fate
The waves keep on comin’ and we can’t escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves will guide you through another day
I know we have so far to go
Within the connections I see
Thoughts of darkness, and so
I adjust my mask of serenity
I offer up a prayer
And wait for a new day
In the brilliance of the shining sea
Until there is a shore
Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don’t give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you will follow me and keep me strong
People go fishing in their hearts
And have become deceitful
And again a new cycle of the moon
Brings someone into my heart (note: this verse had me the most confused
)
And every time I see your face
The ocean seeps out of my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars
And soon I can see the shore
Oh, I can see the shore
When will my heart see the shore?
I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I’d feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along
I will follow you and keep you strong
Still, the journey continues on
Even on a gentle day
And again a new cycle of the moon
Sends a shine into my heart
I offer up a prayer
And wait for a new day
In the brilliance of the shining sea
Until there is a shore
And every time I see your face
The ocean seeps out of my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars
And soon I can see the shore
To the uncertain fate of the heart
The waves are the stages of the moon
To us it seems as if
It’s a wonderful journey
What a wonderful journey

edit: Thanks for the offer,
Shay and I'm glad I could help, but I don't have any intention of using gmail for now, so save the invite for a rainy day.
