Текст и перевод песни 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

The Man's Tale

If I insist, my compassion would run dry
If I cling to dreams, I'll come up against a brick wall
I know all of this about the world

If it's the path I've chosen, if I'm a man
Don't cry, don't get wet in the night rain

If I said I fell in love with the woman I love
My heart would settle, but
If you asked for my life, I would give it to you
But now it's a boat taking me through hardship
If I surrender to love, I'll drown

It's not only the strong who are men
The rain curtain blocks my path
I hold my broken umbrella upside down
Repeating the same old line
If I don't do it, who will?
