Brooke: This is called a "Tone Dial"... I bought it from a merchant ship once upon a time. // It's a very rare kind of shell that can record sound and play it back.
Luffy: Ahh, that's from Sky Island!
Brooke: You are familiar with it...? ...I want to play this to Laboon when I meet him at last. // I carry it with me at all times.
Usopp: So you've got something recorded on there?
Brooke: A "song". // It's the voice of my crewmates singing, back when they were still alive...!! // It's a message for Laboon, something to tell him... / ...that we were all happy and merry right to the end of our journey. // Would you mind if I play it?
Luffy: Ooh! I wanna hear!! / I'm sure it'll make Laboon happy!

Binks' Sake
Yohohoho, yohohoho x4

Going to deliver Binks' sake
Following the sea breeze, riding on the waves
Far across the salty deeps, the merry evening sun
Painting circles in the sky, birds singing along

Farewell to the harbour, to my old hometown
Let's 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 Binks' sake
We are pirates, slicing through the seas
The waves our pillows, the ship our roost
Flying the proud skull on our flags and 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

Yohohoho, yohohoho x4

Going to deliver Binks' 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 Binks' sake
Let's all sing out with a DON, a song of the waves
Doesn't matter who you are, someday you'll just be bones
Never-ending, ever-wand'ring, our funny trav'ling tale

Yohohoho, yohohoho x4

[And in the original Japanese:]
Binkusu no Sake
Yohohoho, yohohoho x4
Binkusu no sake wo, todoke ni yuku yo
Umikaze kimakase namimakase
Shio no mukou de, yuuhi mo sawagu
Sora nya wa wo kaku, tori no uta

Sayonara minato, tsumugi no sato yo
DON to icchou utao, funade no uta
Kinpa-ginpa mo shibuki ni kaete
Oretachya yuku zo, umi no kagiri

Binkusu no sake wo, todoke ni yuku yo
Warera kaizoku, umi watteku
Nami wo makura ni, negura wa fune yo
Ho ni hata ni ketateru wa dokuro

Arashi ga kita zo, senri no sora ni
Nami ga odoru yo, DORAMU narase
Okubyoukaze ni fukakerya saigo
asu no asahi ga nai ja nashi

Yohohoho, yohohoho x4

Binkusu no sake wo, todoke ni yuku yo
Kyou ka asu ka to yoi no yume
Te wo furu kage ni, mou aenai yo
Nani wo kuyokuyo, asu mo tsukuyo

Binkusu no sake wo, todoke ni yuku yo
DON to icchou utao, unaba no uta
Douse dare demo itsuka wa hone yo
Hatenashi, atenashi, waraibanashi

Yohohoho, yohohoho x4

Brooke: What's wrong? ......... // Now it's just a quartet... // ...trio... // ...duet... // ...solo...

18
Brooke: Ah, why......?!! / Leaving just the accompaniment......
Flashback!Yorki: If you wanna join my crew, all I ask is that you love music!! // This is the ship of the Rumba Pirates, who can bring a smile to any child's face!!!
Flashback!Crowd: Yeeeeeeah!!
Flashback!Pirates: Laboon! You just wait right there! // We'll come straight back here!! // That's a promise..................!!
Flashback!Laboon: Pouuuuu!!

19
Brooke: (Laboon.........!! // If you've been waiting there all this time... for these fifty long years... // Could you possibly wait... / ...just another one or two? // For I, too...... have the true spirit of a pirate!!! You're facing that wall and waiting for me... // And just as we promised, when I meet you again, I'll be coming over that wall!!!)
