A giant glides through the great gloom,

Waiting, wandering, watching

Everything that goes on beneath the surface.

From the bubbles that fizz upwards,

To the idle figures of unknown creatures wriggling here and there.

A long, watery silhouette floats below the whispering waves-

A wise, powerful behemoth dominating the deep

Silent like a shadow, mysterious as the moon

This vast, boundless colossus

The great Omura's Whale.
