Текст и перевод песни Hibari Misora - 剣(けん)ひとすじ

剣(けん)ひとすじ

剣は相手を 倒せるけれど
人の心は 斬られまい
強いばかりが 勝ちじゃない
泣ける弱さが 人間なのさ
淋しさがああ 淋しさが
白刃を染める

剣に生きよか 情けに死のか
いつも迷いが つきまとう
ままよ 誇りも 剣も捨て
俺も生きたや 女のために
別れてもああ 別れても
忘れるものか

剣は勝っても いつかは滅ぶ
これがはかない 世のさだめ
待つか 進むか 退くか
耐えて貫ぬく 孤独の旅路
ひとすじのああ ひとすじの
男の道よ

Samurai Heart

A sword can defeat an opponent,
But it cannot touch the human heart.
Strength alone does not guarantee victory,
For even the strongest can weep in their weakness.
Oh, loneliness, how it stains
The blade of the warrior.

Should I live by the sword or die by compassion?
Doubt constantly haunts me.
Let me cast aside my pride and my sword,
For I too have lived for a woman.
Even though we are parted, my love,
I will never forget you.

The sword may triumph,
But eventually it will perish.
Such is the fleeting nature of our world.
Should I wait, or should I forge ahead?
The solitary path of endurance,
The warrior's destiny.
