男という字は　田んぼに力

田畑もなくなり　力も失せた

流れるままに　身を横たえて

男はどこへ　男はどこへ

時代を殴(なぐ)って　やろうじゃないか

恋のひとつも　まだ出来る

ハアー　ハアー

男の涙は　黙って流せ

あふれる気持ちに　理屈は抜きだ

世渡り下手(べた)が　上手(じょうず)をするな

男はどこへ　男はどこへ

時代に逆立ち　しようじゃないか

遠いふるさと　見えるだろ

ハアー　ハアー

男は馬鹿だと　言われてなんぼ

本気な奴ほど　笑われ者さ

必死で生きて　恥までさらし

男はどこへ　男はどこへ

時代をまっすぐ　行こうじゃないか

けして曲がらぬ　俺だから

ハアー　ハアー

ハアー　生きてやる

The character for man is made from the characters for rice paddy and power

But the rice paddies disappeared and men lost their power

Lying down and letting the flow take me wherever it may go

Where have the men gone to, where have the men gone to

Why don't we punch the era

We can still fall in love

Haa haa

Men should cry quietly

To the feeling that well up, we can't use logic

Those who struggle to get through life shouldn't try to go through it cleverly

Where have the men gone to, where have the men gone to

Why don't we stand on the head against the era

Can't you see your distant home town?

Haa haa

So what if a man is called stupid

Those who take it seriously will get laughed at

We passionately live our lives, not hiding our shame

Where have the men gone to, where have the men gone to

Why don't we pass straight through this era

Because I will never bend

Haa haa

Haa I will live my life

北はしぐれて　夜汽車の窓に

しがみついてる　病葉(わくらば)ひとつ

噂たずねて　降り立つ駅は

誰も迎える　人はない

いくつ涙の　線路をたどる

あなたに　あなたに

逢えるまで　恋遥か

過ぎた過去(むかし)と　引き裂くように

港はずれの　海猫鳴いた

耳を塞(ふさ)いで　乗り込む船は

西の海峡　雪まじり

うねる荒波　さだめと思い

あなたに　あなたに

逢えるまで　恋遥か

ふたり別れた　あの日のままで

胸の時計は　凍りついてる

明日はどの町　移ろう花に

めぐる季節が　流れても

心ひとすじ　暦(こよみ)を越えて

あなたに　あなたに

逢えるまで　恋遥か

Up north, lightly raining, on the windows of the night train

A single colored withered leaf clings

Getting off at the train station I heard in the rumors

No one greets me there

How many railroad of tears will I follow

Dear dear

Until I can see you, love is far away

As if tearing me apart from my past

The black-tailed gull cried at the edge of the harbor

The ship I got on while covering my ears

The western strait, mixed with snow

The swelling rough seas, believing it to be fate

Dear dear

Until I can see you, love is far away

Unchanged since the day we parted

The clock in my chest is frozen

Which city should I go to tomorrow, to the flower

Even if the changing seasons flow

My heart will remain true, rising beyond the calendar

Dear dear

Until I can see you, love is far away

何度サクラを　見られるだろう

想い浮かべる　遠い春

母とふたりの　静かな花見

ぽつんと咲いた　名もないサクラ

人でにぎわう　場所よりも

ここがいいのと　微笑(わら)ってた

ひとひら咲いては　気づかれもせず

ひとひら散っては　振り向かれもせず

きれいだよ　きれいです

母の　母の……サクラ

空に溶け込む　サクラのように

目立つことない　母だった

塩のおにぎり　ほおばる僕を

まぶしく見つめ　頭を撫でた

強くなくても　正直に

生きて行ってと　抱きしめた

あなたは働き　気づかれもせず

あなたは亡くなり　振り向かれもせず

きれいだよ　きれいです

母の　母の……サクラ

まぶた閉じれば　サクラ咲き

色もあせない　母がいる

ひとひら咲いては　気づかれもせず

ひとひら散っては　振り向かれもせず

きれいだよ　きれいです

母の　母の……サクラ

How many more times will I be able to see the cherry blossoms

Recalling the spring from years past

Quietly watching the flowers with my mother

A nameless cherry flower that quietly bloomed

Rather than near a crowded place

I'd rather be here, so saying, laughed

Blooming a single petal unnoticed

Falling a single petal without anyone turning his head

You are beautiful, you are beautiful

Mother's mother's... cherry blossom

Like the cherry blossom that melts into the sky

My mother did not stand out

To me who was stuffing myself with a salted rice ball

She looked at me and gently pat me on my head

Even if you aren't strong, honestly

Live your life, so saying she held me close

Your worked diligently without being noticed

You passed away without anyone turning his head

You are beautiful, you are beautiful

Mother's mother's... cherry blossom

If I close my eyes, the cherry trees bloom

I can clearly imagine my mother from years ago

Blooming a single petal unnoticed

Falling a single petal without anyone turning his head

You are beautiful, you are beautiful

Mother's mother's... cherry blossom
