おっさんとギター (Ossan to Guitar)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
隣のおっさんは 	Tonari no ossan wa 	Every day, the bloke next door
毎日疲れた顔して 	mainichi tsukareta kao shite 	puts on a tired face
夕暮れ16時くらいに 	yūgure jūrokuji kurai ni 	and around four in the afternoon
バイトに出掛けて行くのさ 	baito ni dekakete iku no sa 	sets off to his part-time job.
帰る頃は真っ暗な 	Kaeru koro wa makkura na 	When he gets home it's dark
深夜の24時ぐらいで 	shin'ya no nijūyoji gurai de 	and very late, around midnight,
遅過ぎる晩御飯は 	ososugiru bangohan wa 	and his overdue dinner
売れ残りの弁当 	urenokori no bentō 	is what lunchbox leftovers he can buy.
 	 	
隣のおっさんは 	Tonari no ossan wa 	The bloke next door
どうやら水木休みで 	dōyara sui moku yasumi de 	seems to have Wednesdays and Thursdays off
大抵は一日中 	taitei wa ichinichijū 	and usually spends all day
部屋の中ひとりぼっちさ 	heya no naka hitoribotchi sa 	alone in his room.
趣味なのか知らないけれど 	Shumi na no ka shiranai keredo 	I don't know what pastimes he's got
アコースティックギター持っていて 	akōsutikku gitā motte ite 	but he has an acoustic guitar
夕暮れ17時くらいに 	yūgure jūshichiji kurai ni 	and around five in the afternoon
かき鳴らしだすんだ 	kakinarashidasu n da 	he begins to strum.
 	 	
お世辞にも上手いとは言えない 	Oseji ni mo umai to wa ienai 	You can't say he's good at it by any means.
下手くそなギターの音にのせて歌う 	Hetakuso na gitā no oto ni nosete utau	He sings to the lousy sound of his guitar.
それは 甘くはなく 	Sore wa amaku wa naku 	It's not sweet,
苦いだけで切ない 	nigai dake de setsunai 	it's always sad and bitter.
よれよれ　かすれた歌声が 	Yoreyore kasureta utagoe ga 	His voice, worn out and hoarse,
近所に響いていた 	kinjo ni hibiite ita 	echoed around the neighbourhood.
 	 	
昔は良かったなんて言葉 	Mukashi wa yokatta nante kotoba 	Once upon a time he was good—words to that effect
口からこぼれたりして 	kuchi kara koboretari shite 	would leave his mouth,
現在（今）の自分が嫌になるけど 	ima no jibun ga iya ni naru kedo 	even if what he's like now is awful.
 	 	
錆付いた六弦は 	Sabitsuita rokugen wa 	His rusty six strings
裏切る事はしないよ 	uraigiru koto wa shinai yo 	never let him down.
涙流して　鼻水垂らして 	namida nagashite hanamizu tarashite 	He sheds tears, his nose drips,
雨上がり虹を待っている 	ameagari niji o matte iru 	and he waits for the rainbow after the rain.
 	 	
幸せな人生目指して 	Shiawase na jinsei mezashite 	Was he aiming for a happy life
ひたすら歩んできたのだろうか 	hitasura ayunde kita no darō ka 	as he earnestly came this far?
上手くいかないね。 	umaku ikanai ne. 	It's not going well, is it?
良いこと少なく　悪いことはいっぱい 	Ii koto sukunaku warui koto wa ippai 	Not much good, plenty of bad.
それでも歯車と化して 	Soredemo haguruma to kashite 	Yet even so, will he be a cog in society
明日を生き抜こうか 	asu o ikinukō ka 	and see through another day?
 	 	
下手くそなギターの歌が 	Hetakuso na gitā no uta ga 	The lousy songs of his guitar
近所に響いていた 	kinjo ni hibiite ita 	echoed around the neighbourhood.
 	 	
夕暮れ18時くらいに 	Yūgure jūhachiji kurai ni 	Around six in the evening
壁叩かれました・・・ 	kabe tatakaremashita … 	he was getting knocks on the wall …1
