うちのお父さん (Uchi no otou-san) – My dad
from Sankaidate no uta album.
——
You’re sweating, take a short break
Wood chopping is hard work, right, dad?
It’ll be dark soon, the crows have flown
Until the first star shines, just a little more work
Wipe away sweat, drink some tea
Stretch your back, dad
A small smile, a small smile
For tomorrow’s weather
At Watanabe-san’s wedding ceremony today
My dad with his friends
Festive, festive, with a coiled hairstyle
Drinking drinking wine, the bride
Sitting at ease, hitting the plate
Just sing, dad
A small smile, a small smile
For tomorrow’s weather
Looking great in a sweater
Be fashionable once in a while, dad
The next time mum goes to town
To buy you a scarlet bowtie
※ When spring comes, the falling plum
Blossoms will flower, dad
A small smile, a small smile
For tomorrow’s weather※
(※Repeat ×3)
