Paroles et traduction Fuyumi Sakamoto - Nyoubou Katagi

Nyoubou Katagi

夢を担いだ 天秤棒を
酔って今夜も 杖がわり
酒に勝てない あなたの弱さ
今日は愛想が 尽きました
実家(さと)へ明日は 暇を取ると
女房なりゃこそ 嘘をつく

心にもない 憎まれ口を
女房利(き)かずに アァ 誰が利く

薬効いたか 金毘羅さまに
酒を断つとの 願い事
持って生まれた 商売(あきない)上手
日每増えてく 得意先
夜明け前から 精出す背中(せな)に
女房なりゃこそ 手を合わす

苦労三年 店まで持てた
今日は収めの 大晦日
祝い酒よと 一本付けりゃ
あなた懲りたと 苦笑い
みんなお前の お蔭の声に
女房なりゃこそ うれし泣き

Wife's Attitude

I carry my dreams on a shoulder pole,
And tonight, drunk again, it's my walking stick.
You can't resist alcohol, you're so weak.
Today, I've had enough of your nonsense.
You say you'll take a break tomorrow and go to your parents'
You lie because you're a wife.

You say mean things you don't mean.
If you don't listen to your wife, who will?

Did the medicine from Kompira-san work?
You promised to quit drinking.
You're a natural-born salesperson,
Your list of regular customers grows every day.
I see your back working hard since before dawn,
And I clasp my hands together because I'm your wife.

After three years of hard work, we finally own a store.
Today is the last day of the year, New Year's Eve.
When I offer you a celebratory drink,
You smile wryly and say you've learned your lesson.
You say it's all thanks to me,
And I cry for joy because I'm your wife.
