Sake To Namida To Otoko To Onna
Kawashima Eigo
Sake, Tears, Men, and Women
Things I want to forget
In the face of loneliness I can’t shake
A man drinks when he’s wrapped up in it, right?
Drink, drink, get drunk, drink some more
Drink until I pass out and sleep it off
Eventually, the man will quietly drift off to sleep
Things I want to forget
In the face of sadness I can’t shake
A woman shows her tears when she’s wrapped up in it, right?
Cry, cry, alone I cry
Cry until I’m too tired to cry anymore
Eventually, the woman will quietly drift off to sleep
Once again, it seems like women have the upper hand
Once again, I see the man’s slyness
I can’t cry like a man, you know
Tonight, I’ll just sniff the booze and pass out
I can’t show my tears as a man
Drink, drink, get drunk, drink some more
Drink until I pass out and sleep it off
Eventually, the man will quietly drift off to sleep.
