A nice Japanese song

ダンディズム - 谷村新司

作詩：谷村新司 作曲：谷村新司

帰れダンディズムの都へ
夜は男の心の中
踊れ裸足のままで
汗に濡れたシャツのままで
息子よいつの日かこの酒を
古びた止まり木の片隅で
酔えば俺をかつぎ出せ
月あかりの石だたみへ

※歌おう大きな声でお互いの
叫ぼう愛する人の為に
歌おう君の愛する母の歌を
歌おう私の愛する妻の歌
人生は束の間の祭り
せめて人を愛せよ ダンディズム※

戻れダンディズムの港へ
船は男の心の中
怒れ時代の波に
優しさとは強さのこと
息子よいつの日かこの時が
君の想い出に変わる頃
俺は遠くの酒場で
グラスをあげ笑っている

(※2回くり返し)

Dandyism -- Tanimura Shinji

Lyrics: Tanimura Shinji Music: Tanimura Shinji

Kaere, dandizumu no miyako e
Yoru wa, otoko no kokoro no naka
Odore, hadashi no mama de --
Ase ni nureta shatsu no mama de.

Musuko yo, itsu no hi ka kono sake wo
Furubita tomari-gi no katasumi de
Yoeba ore wo katsugidase
Tsukiakari no ishidatami e.

*Utaō! Ōki na koe de o-tagai no
Sakebō! Ai-suru hito no tame ni
Utaō! Kimi no ai-suru haha no uta wo
Utaō! Watashi no ai-suru tsuma no uta

Jinsei wa tsuka-no-ma no matsuri
Semete hito wo ai-seyo! Dandizumu!*

Modore, dandizumu no minato e
Fune wa, otoko no kokoro no naka
Ikare, jidai no nami ni
Yasashisa to wa tsuyosa no koto.

Musuko yo, itsu no hi ka kono toki ga
Kimi no omoide ni kawaru koro
Ore wa, tōku no sakaba de
Gurasu wo age, waratte iru.

(* repeated twice)

Dandyism -- Tanimura Shinji

Let's go back to the capital of dandyism
The night -- is in the heart of a man.
Let's dance! On our bare feet;
Until our shirt is soaked with sweat.

My son, when one day this drink
is the last creaky perch on which I can still balance --
and I am drunk -- then please carry me out
on your shoulder, onto the moon-lit pavement.

Let's sing! Let's loudly shout at each other!
For the people we love,
Let's sing! Let's sing for the mother you love,
Let's sing! For the wife whom I love.

Human life is just a one-day festival.
Let's love all people! Dandyism!

Let's go back to the harbour of dandyism
The ship -- is in the heart of a man.
Let yourself be carried on the wave of the times:
Being friendly is a sign of strength.

My son, whenever this time
Comes back into your memory,
I shall be there, in a bar, far away,
Raising my glass, and laughing.
