Paroles et traduction 幸田聡子 & 田代耕一郎 - 男はつらいよ

男はつらいよ

私生まれも育ちも葛飾柴又です
帝釈天でうぶ湯を使い
姓は車 名は寅次郎
人呼んで フーテンの寅と発します
俺がいたんじゃ お嫁にゃ行けぬ
わかっちゃいるんだ 妹よ
いつかおまえの よろこぶような
偉い兄貴に なりたくて
奮闘努力の 甲斐も無く
今日も涙の
今日も涙の 日が落ちる 日が落ちる
ドブに落ちても 根のある奴は
いつかは蓮(はちす)の 花と咲く
意地は張っても 心の中じゃ
泣いているんだ 兄さんは
目方で男が 売れるなら
こんな苦労も
こんな苦労も かけまいに かけまいに
男とゆうもの つらいもの
顔で笑って
顔で笑って 腹で泣く 腹で泣く
とかく 西に行きましても
東に行きましても
土地 土地のお兄貴さん お姐さんに
ごやっかいかけがちなる若造です
以後 見苦しき面体 お見知りおかれまして
今日こう万端ひきたって
よろしく おたのみ申します

It's Tough Being a Man

I was born and raised in Katsushika, Shibamata.
I took my first bath at the Taishakuten Temple,
My name is Kuruma, my given name is Torajiro.
People call me Tora-san, the vagabond.
As long as I'm here, you can't get married,
I know that, my dear sister.
Someday, I want to become
A big brother who you can be proud of.
But despite all my struggles and efforts,
Today is another day of
Today is another day of tears.
Even a man who falls into the gutter,
Can one day blossom like a lotus flower.
I act tough, but deep down,
I'm crying, my dear sister.
If a man's worth was measured by his weight,
I wouldn't have to go through
I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.
It's tough being a man.
Smiling on the outside,
Smiling on the outside, but crying on the inside.
Whether I go west or east,
I always end up causing trouble
For the kind people I meet.
I'm just a young man who doesn't know his place.
I hope you can look past my shortcomings
And accept me for who I am.
Today, I stand before you, asking for your support.
