Bloodthirsty Butchers

Lucky Man

From the album "荒野ニオケル bloodthirsty butchers"

Hang your dejected face.
Run into difficulties,
No one more grim than you
However, you're a lucky man

Times go by
And the comfortable uncertainty (cruelty)
Got a grim face
The one and only lucky man


Come out Mr. Sun!
Clouds lean on you heavily
Cover it up with a laugh
Don't let it get to you, you're a lucky man

After all, I'm alone
That's right, you are alone
You alone are like you
Look at it that way, lucky man

lucky man
You are lucky man

Don't shake your head
Shake it about in dispair
If you say NO and swing your head
You're the one and only lucky man

Not gonna ever get used to it
Don't plan to cheer you on
Don't plan to join your clique
You're the one and only lucky man

lucky man
You are lucky man

Japanese lyrics:

Shogeta ura o sagete
しょげた面を下げて
Konnan ni buchi ataru ga
困難にブチ当たるが
Shibui kanmuri mo nai ga
渋い冠も無いが
Shikashi kimi wa lucky man
しかし君はlucky man

Kai o kasamugoto no
回をかさむごとの
Zurete nareru mujyou (mujyou) mo
ずれて慣れる無常(無情)も
Shibui kao mo suru sa
渋い顔もするさ
Yuiitsu hitotsu no lucky man
唯一 一つのlucky man

Hareru otentou san yo
晴れるお天道さんょ
Omoku noshikakaru kumo
重くのしかかる雲
Oou waraigoe ni
覆う笑い声に
Higamu na kimi wa lucky man
ひがむな 君はlucky man

Douse ore wa hitori
どうせオレは一人
Sou sa omae wa hitori
そうさオマエは一人
Kimi wa hitori shika inai
君は一人しかいない
Sou to tatoero yo lucky man
そうと例えろよlucky man

lucky man
You are lucky man

Kubi o tate ni furu na
首を縦に振るな
Konnan ni furimawasare
困難にふり回され
No to kubi o fureba
NOと首を振れば
Kimi wa yuiitsu no lucky man
君は唯一のlucky man

Nareai to iu wake jyana shi
慣れあいというわけじゃなし
Hagemasu tsumori mo nai shi
励ますつもりもないし
Totou o kumu tsumori mo nashi
徒党を組むつもりもなし
Kimi ga yuiitsu no lucky man
君が唯一のlucky man

lucky man
You are lucky man
