Paroles et traduction 石川綾子 - 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 in Taishakuten
My surname is Kuruma, my given name is Torajiro
People call me Tora-san, the vagabond
As long as I'm around, you'll never get married
I understand, my dear sister
Someday I'll become the kind of
great older brother you can be proud of
But despite all my struggles and efforts
Today is another
Today is another tearful day
Even if I fall into the gutter, I'm a man of substance
I'll blossom into a beautiful lotus flower one day
I put on a brave face, but deep down
I'm crying, my dear
If men were valued by their weight
I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble
I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble
It's tough being a man
I laugh on the outside
I laugh on the outside, but I cry on the inside
Wherever I go, west or east
I always end up relying on the kindness
of strangers, both men and women
I apologize for any inconvenience I may cause
Please forgive my unsightly appearance
And thank you for your support
I ask for your continued kindness
