Translator's note: 'Ukifune' is the name of a female character from the tale of Genji (in the latter, Uji-based chapters) who, having mistakenly committed adultery with a man, plans to drown herself but is saved and becomes a nun. In terms of the tragedies she endures and what she represents as a character, comparable to 'Hamlet''s Ophelia. Her name means 'drifting boat'.
As for the song itself, the 'rai rai rai' used as a chorus is fairly standard except that the band has chosen to use the character for 'come', read as 'rai', to represent it. Other grammatical touches reminiscent of Classical Japanese are scattered throughout the song.
