Yawara

Judo

Yawara

Don’t think you’ll win, if you do, you’ll lose
勝つと思うな 思えば負けよ
katsu to omou na omoeba make yo
Losing was expected, deep in my heart
負けて元々 この胸の
makete motomoto kono mune no
Lives the dream of judo, it’s
奥に生きてる柔の夢が
oku ni ikiteru yawarakana yume ga
A lifetime, just once, a lifetime
一生、一度、一生
isshō, ichido, isshō
Waiting for that one time
一度を 待っている
ichido wo matte iru

People are just people, they have their hopes
人は人なり のぞみもあるが
hito wa hito nari nozomi mo aru ga
But they also have to let go and rise above
捨てて立つ瀬を超えもする
sutete tatsu se wo koemo suru
At least tonight, let’s be human
せめて今宵は人間らしく
semete koyoi wa ningen rashiku
Savoring the tears of love
恋の涙を
koi no namida wo
Savoring the tears of love
恋の涙を 噛みしめる
koi no namida wo kamishimeru

Actions speak louder than words
口で言うより手の方が早い
kuchi de iu yori te no hou ga hayai
This isn’t the time for fools
馬鹿を相手の時じゃない
baka wo aite no toki ja nai
Whether you go, stay, sit, or lie down
行くも住るも座るもふすも
iku mo sumu mo suwaru mo fusu mo
It’s all about judo
柔一すじ
yawara ka hitosuji
It’s all about judo, as the night breaks
柔一すじ夜が明ける
yawara ka hitosuji yoru ga akeru
