顧みれば 教科書のない 一度限りの 人生を
まあよく生きて 来たと思う
友の支え 女性の救い 出逢いの恵み 数多く

運良く受けて 来たと思う
運命を 満喫したと 思われる今

顧みれば 過ち挫折 一度ならずの 重なりを
まあよく越えて 来たと思う
力不足 才能超えて 果たせたことも 数多く
心は充ちて 来たと思う
運命を 満喫したと 思われる今

楽しみ 悲しみ 笑いも 涙も
生きていればこその 味わいと
瞳綻(ほころ)ばせて 見晴るかす

顧みれば 事故災いに 幾度ともなく 襲われて
まあよく無事に 来たと思う
人が見れば 名も実も得て 心豊かな 暮らし振り
望み以上で 来たと思う
運命を 満喫したと 思われる今

楽しみ 悲しみ 笑いも 涙も
生きていればこその 味わいと
瞳綻(ほころ)ばせて 見晴るかす

顧みれば今 込み上げる想い
わたしの運命に 関わった
全ての人々に ありがとう

Looking back, on a life that was one time only, without any textbooks,
I think I've lived a rather good life.
The support from friends, the help from women, and blessings of many encounters,

I count myself fortunate to have received.
I was able to fully appreciate my fate, and I think so now,

Looking back, on the many, more than one, failures and setbacks,
I think I've overcome them rather well.
Though lacking in strength and going beyond my talents, there were many things I achieved
and my heart is filled, I think.
I was able to fully appreciate my fate, and I think so now,

Happiness and sadness, laughter and tears,
The flavors of life itself
And letting my eyes relax as I look out,

Looking back, after having been attacked by so many accidents and disasters,
I think I've managed to come out unscathed rather well.
In the eyes of others, with both fame and fortune in hand, my life is rich,
I think I've exceeded my hopes.
I was able to fully appreciate my fate, and I think so now,

Happiness and sadness, laughter and tears,
The flavors of life itself
And letting my eyes relax as I look out,

Looking back, the feeling that wells up in me now,
To all the people involved in my fate,
Thank you
