Mattoba - かりゆし58 перевод на английский

Mattoba

真っ向からどストレートだ もう一歩も引けない時には
何もかも全部を自分の真っ直ぐに懸けろ

同い年の幼なじみで しかも近所で育ってきたから
まるで家族みたいなもんだ お前のオヤジも
テレビゲームなんかやめろって いきなり空き地に連れ出して
作業着姿でノックを始めるようなおっちゃん
中2の冬休みくらいから不良の真似事を始めたおれ
ずっと野球をやめなかったお前
なんとなくおっちゃんに会いづらくなったのも
おばちゃんが急に倒れたのもあの頃だったっけ

真っ向からどストレートだ もう一歩も引けない時には
何もかも全部を自分で真っ直ぐに懸けろ
真っ向からどストレートだ もう行くしかないって場面で
やり切ったんなら 勝ったも負けたもないっていうのがおっちゃんの口癖

高校最後の夏間近 市営グランドの外野席 何年ぶりかにおっちゃんに会った
結局 補欠のまんまでベンチにも入れないくせに
誰よりもデッカい声を仲間に送ってる自慢の倅だって笑ってた

おっちゃんの背広姿を初めて見たのはその年の冬
おばちゃんが天国に行った日の夜
こんな時こそ賑やかにしてるのがいいんだと言って
お客さんにビールをついでまわっていた ありがとうばっかり言ってた

真っ向からどストレートだ もう一歩も引けない時には
何もかも全部を自分の真っ直ぐに懸けろ
ど真ん中めがけろ もう行くしかないって場面で
やり切ったんなら勝ったも負けたもないっていうのがおっちゃんの生き方

When you can't even take a step back, you're being straight forward
Bet everything you have and make it straight

My childhood friend who is the same age, and grew up in the neighborhood
We were almost like family, your father too
"Stop playing video games right now" and taking me to the empty lot suddenly
An uncle who started hitting golf balls while dressed in work clothes
I had been mimicking a delinquent since winter break in my second year of middle school
You never quit baseball
I also somehow became reluctant to go visit my uncle
And my aunt suddenly collapsed, was that around that time?

When you can't even take a step back, you're being straight forward
Bet everything you have and make it straight
When you can't even take a step back, you're being straight forward
If you do your best, it doesn't matter if you win or lose is my uncle's favorite saying

The outfield seats at the municipal ground just before my last summer in high school I met my uncle for the first time in ages
After all, I was just an alternate, and couldn't even get on the bench
He was laughing that I was sending my proudest and loudest cheers of all to my friends

The first time I saw my uncle in a suit was the winter of that year
The night my aunt went to heaven
Saying that this was when we should be the liveliest
He was pouring beer for the customers and kept saying thank you

When you can't even take a step back, you're being straight forward
Bet everything you have and make it straight
Aim for the center, When you can't even take a step back, you're being straight forward
If you do your best, it doesn't matter if you win or lose is the way my uncle lived his life
