Текст и перевод песни Koji Tamaki - 次男坊

次男坊

夕焼け空は 悲しいなあ
かあちゃん 田んぼで笑ってた
タケノコ レンコン シイタケと
盆と正月 村祭り
鍋一杯のにしめだよ
顔見りゃわかる 親だから
立派な人になれんでも
人に好かれるいい人に
愛にしくじり 金にしくじり
さあそこからが人生さ
静かに かあちゃん 笑ってた

親孝行も たまにしろ
とおちゃん 背中で怒ってた
ズボンにちゃんとシャツいれて
腹を冷やすといかんがな
裏のじいちゃん 元気だぞ
今でもリヤカー 引いてるぞ
お天道様にはうそつけない
何から何までお見通し
情けに負けて 勝負に負けて
さあそこからが人生さ
小声で とうちゃん つぶやいた

愛にしくじり 金にしくじり
さあそこからが人生さ
やさしく かあちゃん 笑ってた

ほんとだな 夕焼け ほんとに 悲しいなあ

Second son

Oh, dear, the twilight sky is making me sad
Mother, you were laughing in the fields
With bamboo, lotus root, and shitake
At the Obon, New Year, and village festival
You cooked a whole pot of simmered vegetables
One look at me and you knew our connection
I may never amount to anything grand
But I will become a kind person that people will love
I've fumbled in love and with money
So, here's where my journey begins
And mother quietly kept smiling

I don't show my appreciation often enough
I can sense father scolding me with his silence
Tuck your shirt into your pants properly
You'll catch a cold if you don't cover your belly
The old man next door is still very strong
He's still pulling his rickshaw
You can't fool the sun
He sees right through us
Losing in compassion and in competition
That's where my life really begins
Father softly mutters to himself

I've fumbled in love and with money
So, here's where my journey begins
And mother gently kept smiling

It's true, the twilight sky, it really does make me sad
