咲かずじまいの 男の夢を

傍でささえて くれた奴

決めたのさ 決めたのさ

おまえと道づれ

愚痴も涙も 飲み込んで

尽くす笑顔が いじらしい

儘にならない 世間を拗ねて

何度泣かせた 困らせた

決めたのさ 決めたのさ

おまえと道づれ

口にだしては 言わないが

詫びているんだ こころでは

惚れた同士が 肩寄せあって

越えた苦労の 水たまり

決めたのさ 決めたのさ

おまえと道づれ

無理はしないで これからも

生きてゆこうよ ふたりみち

The man's dream which ended without blooming

You supported it by my side

I have decided I have decided

With you along for the journey

Overlooking my complaints and tears

Your smile and devotion are endearing

Pouting against the society which won't listen to me

How many times did I make you cry, cause you trouble

I have decided I have decided

With you along for the journey

Though I won't say it out loud

I am apologizing in my heart

Both of us who are in love place our shoulders together

And overcame the water puddle of hardship

I have decided I have decided

With you along for the journey

Don't overexert yourself even from now on

Let's continue living this life, a road for two

これが最後と 我がまま言って

ふたり来ました いで湯町

窓をあければ 日暮れの海が

胸のせつなさ つのらせる

ここは下田 お吉(きち)浜

潮の香りの 港やど

髪を梳(と)かした 浴衣の肩を

そっとあなたは 抱き寄せる

指をからめて 眠ってみても

つらい別れは すぐに来る

ここは下田 湯のけむり

夢は儚ない 港やど

遠くかすんだ 寝姿山(ねすがたやま)も

これで見おさめ 今日かぎり

しのび泣くよに そぼ降る雨は

女みれんの なみだ雨

ここは下田 恋ひと夜

名残りつきない 港やど

This is the last time, so insisting on my selfishness

We came here together to this hot spring town

If I open the window, the ocean in the sunset

Makes the sorrow in my heart grow

This is Shimoda Okichihama

The port inn with the scent of the tides

My shoulders after I changed into a yukata and combed my hair

You gently hold me close

Even if we sleep after entwining our fingers

The painful time for parting soon arrives

This is Shimoda the smoke from the hot spring

The dream is transient at this port inn

The distant hazy Nesugata Mountain also is

The last time I will see it, today is the last time

The light rain which sprinkles from time to time is like the creeping tears

A woman's regret's rain of tears

This is Shimoda a single night of love

I can't bear to part from you, port inn
