おんなとして 女として

可愛い小春

くどきべたな

男がひとり

雨降る花街

露地あたり

迷いこんで迷いこんで

呑めばしみる

にがい 小春酒

うわさだけど 噂だけど

わかれた小春

胸の傷は

痛むかいまも

おんなのわたしが

ばかなのと

淋しそうに淋しそうに

笑うやつよ

泣くな 小春酒

いのちかけて 命かけて

小春をまもり

俺がきっと

しあわせにするよ

人生ながれて

来たけれど

今夜かぎり今夜かぎり

ひとりじゃない

誓う 小春酒

As a woman, as a woman

Pretty Koharu

Terrible at picking up women

A single man here

Raining in the redlight district

Near the roji*

Wandering in wandering in

If I drink, it hurts

The bitter Koharu sake

Though it's a rumor, though it's a rumor

Koharu whom I parted from

The pains of your chest

Does it still hurt

Me a woman

I'm foolish, so saying

Forlornly forlornly

You had laughed

Don't cry, Koharu sake

Putting my life on the line putting my life on the line

Protecting Koharu

I promise I will

Make you happy

I had wandered

Through life but

Just for tonight just for tonight

I am not alone

I vow Koharu sake

* Roji is the garden leading to a tea ceremony room.

雨が霙(みぞれ)に　かわる夜

呑めば涙が　あふれだす

そうだよ、あき子　おまえのせいさ

何処へ行くとも　言わないで

いのちまるごと　消えたやつ

ここは北国　あき子の酒場

ほそい冬子と　いう女

船で他国へ　出た噂

そうだよ、あき子　おまえじゃないか

俺にかくした　身のうえに

どんな运命(さだめ)が　あるのやら

忘れられない　あき子の笑颜

純白(しろ)いドレスを　手に入れて

俺は迎えに　飛んで来た

そうだよ、あき子　おまえと二人

生きてこれから　やりなおす

熱い思いが　届くなら

歌に乗せよう　あき子の慕情

On the night when rain changes to sleet

When I drink,  tears overflow

Yes, that's right, Akiko, it's because of you

Without telling me where you went

You disappeared completely

This is northern country, Akiko's tavern

A thin woman named Fuyuko

I heard rumors that she went to a foreign country on a ship

Yes, that's right, Akiko, that's actually you

To you who hid from me

I wonder what fate awaited you

I can't forget, Akiko's smile

After getting hold of a white dress

I came straight for you

Yes, that's right, Akiko, with you both of us

Will live and try once more

If my passionate feeling can reach you

I will send it in a song, affection for Akiko

酔えばはしゃいで　たおれこみ

俺のこの手で　寝るやつだった

冬子　冬子　冬子...

おまえと暮らした　町に来て

吹雪あいての　酒をのむ

霧笛が泣かせる　冬子のブルース

ホテルみたいな　船にのり

旅がしたいと　夢ものがたり

冬子　冬子　冬子...

おんなの幸せ　つかんだか

いまも根なしの　浮草か

歌えば沁みるぜ　冬子のブルース

錆びた酒場の　洋燈（ランプ）にも

ほそいうなじの　面影うかぶ

冬子　冬子　冬子...

ほんとの名前は　知らないが

俺が愛した　二百日

探して逢いたい　冬子のブルース

If (she) got drunk she frolicked and fell down

She used to fall asleep in my arms

Fuyuko Fuyuko Fuyuko...

I came back to the town where I lived with you

I drink opposite a snowstorm

Foghorn that makes me cry, Fuyuko's blues

I rode on a boat like a hotel

I wanted to take a trip, a dreamy story

Fuyuko Fuyuko Fuyuko...

Did you grab hold of a woman's happiness

Or are you a duckweed without roots

Singing stings, Fuyuko's blues

Even on the bar's rusty lamp

The vestige of a narrow neck appears

Fuyuko Fuyuko Fuyuko...

I don't know you real name but

The two hundred days I loved you

I want to find and see you, Fuyuko's blues

Masuiyama Daishirō(増位山太志郎)

Masuiyama Daishirō(増位山太志郎) is a former sumō wrestler who reached the rank of ōzeki and later became a stable master before becoming an enka singer.

Masuiyama(増位山) is a mountain in Himeji City(姫路市 Himejishi) in in Hyōgo Prefecture, home of his ancestors.

When he finally reached the rank of ōzeki, he was the oldest sumō wrestler to do so at the time. He retired from sumō a few months short of three years after this accomplishment.

His sumo stable produced several notable wrestlers including Higonoumi(肥後ノ海) and Baruto(把瑠都).

After reaching the sumō association's mandatory retirement age of 65 in 2013, he has concentrated his time exclusively as an enka singer.

He has appeared on NHK Singing Concert(NHK歌謡コンサート NHK Kayō Konsāto) in 2009 and on Thursday Concert at 8~ Famous Songs! Japanese Songs(木曜8時のコンサート〜名曲!にっぽんの歌〜 Mokuyō Hachijino Konsāto 〜 Meikyoku! Nippon'nouta 〜) in 2012.
