Paroles et traduction Kiyoshi Hikawa - 夢勝負

夢勝負

博多山笠追い山ならし
汗が飛び散る血潮が騒ぐ
明日に向かって弾けろ跳ねろ
男人生命の祭り
度胸ひとつで燃え上がれ
オイッサ オイッサ

意地のつっぱり人情の涙
胸にどんと巻く心意気
惚れちゃいけない泣かせちゃならぬ
男人生一本勝負
ほろり夜風が身にしみる
オイッサ オイッサ

朝だ夜明けだ一番笠だ
力ぎりぎり駆け上がれ
夢を担いで弾けろ跳ねろ
男人生命の祭り
根性ひとつでまっしぐら
オイッサ オイッサ

Dream Showdown

Hakata Yamakasa's pre-festival run,
Sweat splashes, blood races, heart pounds.
Towards tomorrow, burst forth, leap high, my love.
A man's life, a festival of passion.
With courage alone, ignite the flames within.
Oissa, Oissa!

Stubborn pride, tears of compassion,
A spirit I hold deep within my chest.
I mustn't fall in love, I mustn't make you cry.
A man's life, a single showdown.
The cool night breeze chills me to the bone.
Oissa, Oissa!

Morning dawns, the first float rises,
With all my might, I'll run to the top.
Carrying my dreams, burst forth, leap high, my dear.
A man's life, a festival of passion.
With sheer willpower, I'll charge straight ahead.
Oissa, Oissa!
