ひなびた路地の　縄のれん

焼鳥は世間のすみで　味わうものと

酸(す)いも甘(あま)いも　かみわけた

父のこだわり　いまわかる

酒とおんなは　二舎＜号＞まで

愚(ぐ)にもつかない　冗談云って

酔えばときどき　笑いとり

手酌(てじゃく)のすきな　父でした

ひとのじゃまにならぬよう

ひとをおしのけ生きぬよう

努(つと)めてがんこを　よそおった

そんな父が　いまもしずかに

飲んでいそうな　縄のれん

はたらきながら　いやなこと

父はいっぱいあった　はずだろうに

折り目ただしく　生きぬいた

そして昭和も　幕をとじ

父と母との　あいだには

ほんのすこしの　波風あった

そんなときには　縄のれん

ひととき逃げる　場所でした

ひとのじゃまにならぬよう

ひとをおしのけ生きぬよう

努(つと)めてがんこを　よそおった

そんな父が　いまもしずかに

飲んでいそうな　縄のれん

そんな父が　いまもしずかに

飲んでいそうな　縄のれん

A rope noren* in a rustic alley

A yakitori should be savored all the way to the corner of the world

Whether sour or sweet, he chewed and connoisseured

My dad's insistence on perfection I now understand

Sake and women, you should stop at two gō

Saying completely worthless jokes

When drunk he sometimes laughed

He was a man who loved having his sake poured for him

Don't live getting in someone's way

Don't live pushing past others

He worked and feigned stubbornness

A dad like that, even now quietly

A rope noren* where he might be drinking

While working unbearable things

My dad must have experienced many times

But he lived through his life sticking to strict principles

And the Showa era closed its curtains

Between my mom and dad

Rough winds very slightly blew through

Whenever they blew, the rope noren*

It was a place where he could escape for a while

Don't live getting into someone's way

Don't live pushing past others

He worked and feigned stubbornness

A dad like that, even now quietly

A rope noren* where he might be drinking

A dad like that, even now quietly

A rope noren* where he might be drinking

*Noren are Japanese fabric dividers often hung in front of a traditional Japanese store's entrance door.

夢を探す旅に出て

ずいぶん遠く　来たもんだ

酒を浴びた日もあった

もう俺はだめだと

不器用で　無愛想で

不作法で　無精者

どうにかここまで　生きてきた

自分をほめてやれ

どうにかここまで　生きてきた

風来ながれ唄

世話になったあのひとへ

いつのことやら　恩返し

のどの渇き　うるおした

あの一杯の水よ

ひとの子の　親になり

その子らも　親になる

どうにかここまで　生きてきた

女房を道連れに

まだまだ何やら　ありそうだ

風来ながれ唄

不器用で　無愛想で

不作法で　無精者

どうにかここまで　生きてきた

自分をほめてやれ

どうにかここまで　生きてきた

風来ながれ唄

I went on a journey to look for my dream

I have come very far

There were days when I drowned myself in sake

Telling myself that I'm a lost cause

I'm clumsy and I'm not likeable and

I'm unrefined and I'm lazy

But somehow I lived up to this point

I want to praise myself

But somehow I lived up to this point

A vagabond's *nagareuta

To that man whom I'm indebted to

I can't remember when but repaying that debt

He helped me quench that thirst

That single cup of water

Children becomes parents

And those children also become parents

But somehow I lived up to this point

With my wife along

It seems like there's still something more

A vagabond's *nagareuta

I'm clumsy and I'm not likeable and

I'm unrefined and I'm lazy

But somehow I lived up to this point

I want to praise myself

But somehow I lived up to this point

A vagabond's *nagareuta

*Nagareuta is a song often sung by wanderers.

Hashiri Yūsuke(走裕介)

Hashiri Yūsuke(走裕介) was born into a family of farmers.

In 1997, Hashiri Yūsuke(走裕介) appeared on "Cross Japan Karaoke Dojo(日本縦断カラオケ道場 Nihon Jūdan Karaoke Dōjō)" and started entering karaoke singing contests afterwards.

In 1999, he sent a demo tape to Funamura Tōru(船村徹) and the composer decided to take in Yūsuke as his student. Although Yūsuke's family was against this idea, Yūsuke himself along with several others managed to convince his family to let Yūsuke enter the entertainment industry.

In 2009, Yūsuke made his debut with "Train Station of Ice Floes(流氷の駅 Ryūhyōno Eki)." The name Hashiri comes from the name of his home town Abashiri City(網走市) in Hokkaido.

At the 54th Japan Record Awards in 2012 , he won the Japan Composer's Association Award.
