Abare Daiko

Raging Drum

Abare Daiko

Might as well die butt-naked
どうせ死ぬ時や裸でじゃないか
Dōse shinu toki ya hadaka de janai ka
If that's a dream, this is a dream too
あれも夢ならこれも夢
Are mo yume nara kore mo yume
No need to say it, growing to the limit
口は言うまい限界そだち
Kuchi wa iu mai genkai sodachi
Pitying a man's life
男命を情けにかけて
Otoko inochi wo nasake ni kakete
The raging beats of the drum
たたく太鼓の暴れ打ち
Tataku taiko no abareuchi

Booze and fights don't weigh heavy on me
酒と喧嘩は後へ軽はひかぬ
Sake to kenka wa ato e karahani kanu
Stubbornness and self-centered momentum
意地と独りよがりの勢いごま
Iji to hitori yogari no ikioi goma
Don't fall for someone with obligations
惚れちゃならない義理ある人に
Horecha naranai giri aru hito ni
Do you know how to light up a half-broken heart?
知って照らすか片割れづきに
Shitte terasu ka katawarezuki ni
The pine tree cries like a man
男泣きする松ごろ
Otoko naki suru Matsugoro

The proof of the tower drum sways
櫓太鼓の証が揺れて
Yagura taiko no akashi ga yurete
The matching yukatas of summer pass by
揃い浴衣の夏が行く
Soroi yukata no natsu ga iku
Judgment of punishment won't defeat a person
罰の裁きは人には負けぬ
Batsu no sabaki wa hito ni wa makenu
Why judge a man's heart that won't be judged?
なんで裁かぬ男の心
Nande sabakanu otoko no kokoro
The lawless pine tree doesn't belong to any country
国らないは無法松
Kuni ranai wa Muhō Matsugoro
