MAN

MAN
I believe that a man should always
Always be kind to his woman
Flowers for her birthday; a song for the sad moments
Sending love her way even on the ordinary days

Whatever your dreams may be
I’ll make them come true the best I can
Say you were to discover some new, beautiful world
It would be my role to open the door for you

But then if on that last day you’d made up your mind
Silently having decided you were going to leave me
Would I still open that door only to see you off?
No, I would not — although I’m contradicting myself…

MAN
I believe that a man should always
Always be tough on himself

MAN
A man, no matter what kind of man
Always has a thing or two he must protect

Holding one another, facing one another
Always busy glossing things over
People have this need to rank order things
And I’m sad to say it, but for me?
The most important thing is myself

But then I hit wall, and I find myself at a standstill
Because when I found you there, just watching me from behind
I now wish to protect you even if it means sacrificing myself

One day I will say it and I will truly mean it
When I have the courage — that’s when I’ll be a man

MAN
And like so, the man, to a foolish degree
Always tries to take responsibility for everything
Being the tiny little creature that he is

MAN　男はやさしく女にやさしく
常にいるべきだと考えている
誕生日には花を 悲しみには歌を
何もない時でも愛を送ってる

願いなら叶えるさできるだけ君が望む様に
例えば新しい美しい世界君が見つけた時
そのドアを開けてあげるのはぼくの役目だと思う

でも君がもし君が最後の日本気の決断で
そんなぼくにさよなら言うことを静かに決める時だって
黙ってドアを開けて見送るのかと言えばそれは違う
矛盾しているけど

MAN　男はきびしく自分にきびしく
常にあるべきだと考えている
MAN　男は誰にもどんな人にでも
守るべきものが二つ以上ある

抱きあってむきあっていつだって綺麗事言ったって
紛れもなく人間は順番をなぜかつけたがってる
悲しいかな今一番大切なのは自分自身

でもいつかそんな壁にぶつかって立ち往生してる
こんなぼくを背中から見つめてる君をみつけた時
自分を犠牲にしても君を守りぬきたいと思う

いつの日か詐りなく言い切れる
勇気が持てたとき I’ll be a man

MAN　男はこうしてばかばかしいくらいに
いつも責任をとりたがる小さな生物
