Paroles et traduction Fuyumi Sakamoto - 男の情話

男の情話

意地を通せば 情けが枯れる
夢にすがれば つき当る
それが世間と 承知の上で

決めた道なら 男なら
泣くな濡らすな 夜の雨

惚れた女に 惚れたと言えば
片がつくのに 胸の内
くれと言われりゃ 命もやるが
今は苦労の 渡し舟
恋におぼれりゃ 流される

強いばかりが 男じゃないと
雨のすだれが 通せんぼ
破れ番傘 逆さに振って
ひとつ覚えの 捨て台詞(せりふ)
俺がやらなきゃ 誰がやる

A Man's Ballad

If you're stubborn, compassion will wither
If you cling to your dreams, you'll hit a dead end
I know this is the world we live in

If you've made up your mind, like a real man
Don't cry or get wet in the night rain

If I told the woman I love that I love her
My heart would be at ease
If she asked me for my life, I'd give it to her
But now is a time of hardship
If I let myself fall in love, I'll be swept away

Being strong isn't the only measure of a man
The rain and the blinds are blocking my way
I hold my broken umbrella upside down
And I say the same old line
If I don't do it, who will?
