義理が全ての　この世界

辛さ悲しさ　厳しさを

二人乗り越え　耐えてきた

どんな試練が　来ようとも

夢に向かって　歩いてきたのさ…ララバイ

俺の命は　俺の命は　兄弟の命

好きな女も　居たけれど

自分勝手に　生きてきた

幸せやれず　捨ててきた

ガキの名前も　呼べないで

泣いてすがって　黙っていたのさ…ララバイ

俺の生き方　俺の生き方　虫けらの命

明日が見えない　この稼業

意地を通して　我慢する

未練なんかは　無いけれど

友と涙と　喧嘩して

酒で全てを　流しているのさ…ララバイ

俺の人生　俺の人生　柵(しがらみ)の命

Giriga subeteno kono sekai
Tsurasa kanashisa kibishisawo
Futari norikoe taetekita
Don'na shirenga koyōtomo
Yumemi mukatte aruite kitanosa... rarabai
Oreno inochiwa oreno inochiwa kyōdaino inochi

Sukina on'namo itakeredo
Jibunkatteni ikitekita
Shiawase yarezu sutetekita
Gakino namaemo yobenaide
Naite sugatte damatte itanosa... rarabai
Oreno ikikata oreno ikikata mushikerano inochi

Asuga mienai kono kagyō
Ijiwo tōshite gamansuru
Miren nankawa naikeredo
Tomoto namidato kenkashite
Sakede subetewo nagashite irunosa... rarabai

Oreno jinsei oreno jinsei shigaramino inochi

A sense of duty is everything in this world
The hardship, sorrowfulness, the severity
Both of us beared and overcame all that
No matter what trials came our way
We walked towards our dreams... lullaby
My life is my life is my brother's life

Though I had a woman I liked
I lived selfishly
I couldn't give her happiness and so I left her behind
Unable to even call out my kid's name
I cried, leaned on, then stayed silent.. lullaby
My way of living, my way of living, the life of worms

I can't see tomorrow, this business
I force my will and bear it
Though I don't have any regrets
I fought against my friend and my tears
I wash everything away with sake... lullaby
My life, my life, the life of bonds

忘れたはずでも　寂しくて

あなたの背中を　探してる

夕暮れの街を　さ迷い歩けば

失くした愛の　破片(カケラ)がつき刺さる

きらきらきら　灯りがにじむ

ひとりきりの　この街に

ララバイ黄昏　愛にはぐれたままの

心を眠らせて

くわえ煙草で　抱き寄せる

あなたの匂いが　好きだった

夢から醒めれば　その手を放せば

二度と戻らぬ　恋だとわかってた

ゆらゆらゆら　想い出揺れる

あなただけを　愛してた

ララバイ黄昏　凍えそうなわたしの

心を暖めて

きらきらきら　灯りがにじむ

ひとりきりの　この街に

ララバイ黄昏　愛にはぐれたままの

心を眠らせて

Even though I should have forgotten, I'm still lonely
Searching for your back
If I wander around the evening town
A shard from my lost love pierces me


Twinkle twinkle twinkle the light spreads out
Alone in this town
Twilight lullaby lost from the love
Allowing my heart to fall asleep

You held me close with a cigar in your mouth
I loved your scent
When I awoke from the dream, if I let go of your hand
I knew that this love won't ever come back

Wobbling wobbling wobbling my memories wobble
I loved only you
Twilight lullaby I am about to freeze
Please warm up my heart

Twinkle twinkle twinkle the light spreads out
Alone in this town
Twilight lullaby lost from the love
Allowing my heart to fall asleep

Koganezawa Shōji(小金沢昇司)

Koganezawa Shōji(小金沢昇司) was born to ramen restaurant owners. He studied karate from a young age, and perhaps as a result, he was quick to get into a fight. To help his family with deliveries, he got a motorcycle license when he turned sixteen.

He became Kitajima Saburō's disciple and made his professional debut in 1998 with the single "Searching for You(おまえさがして Omae Sagashite.)"

In 1992, a commercial he appeared in for an oral iodine agent became popular, and people started to recognize him as a result.

In 2013, he left Kitajima Saburō's office to start his own agency, Japan Dream Entertanment Trading Co., Ltd. ジャパンドリームエンターテイメント株式会社 Japan Dorīmu Entāteimento Kabushiki Gaisha.)
