Bink's sake
From One Piece Encyclopedia
Bink's Sake is a song that was commonly sung amongst the pirates of old. The song is meant to uplift the spirits of those who sing it. Being a pirate of the old days, Brook knows this song quite well and sings it most chances he is given and he was the first person to sing the lyrics of the song.[1] Luffy knows this song from hearing Shanks and his crew singing it. Robin has also heard of this song. [2]
The song was also Yorki's favourite song as well as Laboon's.[3] When the Rumba Pirates met their end 50 years ago, they decided to use a Tone Dial they had purchased from a merchant to use their final moments to record this song for Laboon. [4]
It is shown that this song can be played in a variety of ways on different instruments for example when it is played on a piano it can be a jolly party song that everyone can join in and sing, but when it is being played on a violin (Brook's main instrument) it can be viewed as a ballad or a farewell song at funerals.

[edit] English version
Yo-hohoho, Yohohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yohohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yohohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yohohoho,
Going to deliver Bink's Sake!
Following the sea breeze!
Riding on the waves!
Far across the salty depths!
The merry evening sun!
Painting circles in the sky!
as the Birds Sing
Farewell to the harbor,
To my old hometown
Lets all sing out with a Don!
As the ship sets sail
Waves of gold and silver
dissolve to salty spray
As we all set sail to
The ends of the sea
Going to deliver Bink's Sake!
We are pirates
Sailing through the Sea!
The waves are our pillows
The ship our roost
Flying the proud Skull
On our flags and our sails
Now comes a storm
Through the far-off sky
Now the waves are dancing
Beat upon the drums
If you lose your nerve
This breath could be your last
But if you just hold on,
The morning sun will rise
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,
Going to deliver Bink's Sake!
Today, and tomorrow,
our dreams through the night!
Waving our goodbyes,
we'll never meet again!
But don't look so down;
For at night the moon will rise!
Going to deliver Bink's Sake!
Let's all sing it with a Don!
A song of the waves
Doesn't matter who you are,
Someday you'll just be bones
Never-Ending, Ever-wandering,
Our funny Traveling tale!
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho,

[edit] Original Version
Before Chapter 488, parts of this song appeared but due to the nature of how they appeared the song had many loose parts.
[edit] English version
Go and deliver[5] Bink's Sake[6]
Entrust your heart to the waves and sea breeze
Even the setting sun revels beyond the tides
And in the sky, the song of laughing birds
[edit] Rōmaji version
Binkusu no sake o todoke ni yuku yo
Umi kaze ki makase nami makase
Shio no mukou de yuhi mo sawagu
Sora nya wa o kaku tori no uta
[edit] Early One Piece
Even when Brook first showed up, the song was complete. Oda thought of the lyrics first and wanted to add the melody later but he just couldn't do it. So he went to get the melody written first by Kouhei Tanaka, a big name in the anime music field. He intended it to be shown when Laboon was shown. However, like many things in One Piece, it ended up being seen 4 or 5 years later. Oda also intended it to be a sailing song that could be included in text books but because it contains the word 'sake' it is impossible.
