男の情話〜セリフ入り〜 [Otoko no jōwa -serifu iri-] [English translation]

[spoken]

No matter how much time changes, white is white and black is black

If I don't make it clear

There'll be no sense in this world

I want to be called old silly man

For me, only the reason of life

Is what I want to follow closely

If I'm stubborn, my sympathy withers

If I hang on to dreams, I'll collide

That's the world deliberately

I'm a man and I decided my way

Don't cry, don't wet, night rain

[spoken]

All humans have

In the body and the soul

One or two wounds they can't express

For this reason

I don't want to make

Someone else cry

For a woman, when she says she's in love

Is what she feels even if she's married off

If they ask me, I offer my live

Now the ferryboat of sorrows

Is carried and sinks in love

[spoken]

No matter how well I swim

Life is only one

If I don't use it as I thought

Coming to this world would be useless

Being only strong doesn't make me a man

A bamboo screen of rain blocks my way

Shaking a broken umbrella upside down

I abandon a memorized dialogue

If I don't do it, who will?
