九州男 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
これからは楽させるから
泣かしたぶんだけ幸せにするよ
いつまでも笑顔でいてねmy mama
今瞳を閉じて思い出す
大げさで心配性で
ドジですぐ怒り出す
台所、掃除、洗濯
こっちが安心して見てられないよ
でもそこが俺の実のかあちゃんと
わかるとこ
無常にも俺の体にも
染み付いてるのよ
くすぐったいこの血が証拠
俺はずっと片親で
かあちゃんの腕一つで
育てられたけど
全く寂しくなかった
一生懸命の姿が嬉しかった
今でも一番胸に残ってる...
日が下がる午後
涙溜め父ちゃん代わりに
キャッチボールしてくれたね
揺れる2本の影
今までずっとごめんよ
これからは楽させるから
泣かしたぶんだけ幸せにするよ
いつまでも笑顔でいてねmy mama
子供の頃は思いもしなかったけど、
今は感謝の気持ちを伝えたい
でも、やっぱ面と向かって言えない
目を見ながら今「ありがとう」と
絵を浮かべてみても俺になんて
出来るわけない
心底思う親不孝な息子さ
ただ、俺にはこの方法があるんだ
ラジオやテレビや雑誌、
この曲でもそうだし
さまざまなメディアに顔出し
間接的に心を笑わせてあげる
これが俺に出来る精一杯の
生涯初不器用な親孝行
待っててね
俺がもう少し素直になれるまで
久しぶりに見た横顔
ちゃんと見た事なかったかも
物語る無数の白髪やシワは
ずっと俺を見守った証さ
でも変な意地が邪魔してつっぱねる
暗闇の中一人突っ立ってる俺を
めげずにまだ暖かい瞳で
照らしてくれてるから
今はまだこれくらいしか
出来ないけど
素直な気持ちを聴いてくれ
いい加減な俺だから
歌に載せて言いたいんだ
今までずっと逃げてた
でも本当は
感謝の気持ちで溢れてるのさ
泣かした沢山の記憶が
心の奥にこびりついてる
いつまでも俺は
かあちゃんを超えることは
出来やしないのさ
今までずっとごめんよ
これからは楽させるから
泣かしたぶんだけ幸せにするよ
いつまでも笑顔でいてねmy mama
ありがとう...
"Dear Mama" by 九州男 is a heartfelt tribute to the singer's mother, expressing his deep gratitude and love for her. The song begins with the singer apologizing to his mother for all the times he may have made her cry or caused her pain. He promises to make her happy from now on and to repay all the tears with happiness. The singer remembers his mother's exaggerated worry and quick temper, but also acknowledges that these are the qualities that make her his true mother. He reflects on how his mother single-handedly raised him and how her hard work and dedication never made him feel lonely. The song also describes a touching memory of playing catch with his mother in the afternoon, as she took on both the roles of mother and father in his life.
The lyrics also reveal the singer's struggle to express his gratitude directly to his mother. He feels unable to say "thank you" face-to-face and instead hopes his mother can understand his feelings through the radio, television, magazines, and this song. The singer recognizes his own shortcomings and selfishness, but assures his mother that he is doing his best to indirectly bring a smile to her face. The song ends with the singer promising his mother to wait for him to become a more honest and open person.
Overall, "Dear Mama" is a heartfelt expression of gratitude, love, and apology to the singer's mother. It highlights the strong bond between a parent and child, as well as the sacrifices and dedication of a single mother.

今瞳を閉じて思い出す
Closing my eyes, I recall
大げさで心配性で
Exaggerated and prone to worry
ドジですぐ怒り出す
Clumsy and quick to get angry
台所、掃除、洗濯
Cooking, cleaning, laundry
何でテンパってんの?
Why are you so nervous?
こっちが安心して見てられないよ
I can't relax when I see you like that
でもそこが俺の実のかあちゃんと
But that's my real mama, you know
わかるとこ
I understand that
無常にも俺の体にも
In my fleeting body too
染み付いてるのよ
It's deeply ingrained
くすぐったいこの血が証拠
This ticklish blood is the proof
俺はずっと片親で
I've always been raised by a single parent
かあちゃんの腕一つで
With just my mama's arms
育てられたけど
I was raised, though
全く寂しくなかった
I never felt lonely at all
一生懸命の姿が嬉しかった
I was happy to see your devoted figure
今でも一番胸に残ってる...
Even now, it's the most vivid memory in my heart...
日が下がる午後
In the afternoon as the sun sets
涙溜め父ちゃん代わりに
Instead of my tearful father
キャッチボールしてくれたね
You played catch with me
揺れる2本の影
The two swaying shadows
子供の頃は思いもしなかったけど、
I never thought about it as a child, but
今は感謝の気持ちを伝えたい
Now I want to express my gratitude
でも、やっぱ面と向かって言えない
But I still can't say it to your face
目を見ながら今「ありがとう」と
Even now, I want to say 'thank you' while looking into your eyes
絵を浮かべてみても俺になんて
Even if I try to imagine it, there's no way I can
出来るわけない
Do it
心底思う親不孝な息子さ
I'm a truly ungrateful son, deep down
ただ、俺にはこの方法があるんだ
But, I have this method
ラジオやテレビや雑誌、
Radio, TV, magazines,
この曲でもそうだし
Including this song
さまざまなメディアに顔出し
Showing my face in various media
間接的に心を笑わせてあげる
Indirectly making your heart laugh
これが俺に出来る精一杯の
This is my best effort
生涯初不器用な親孝行
Being awkward for the first time in my life to show filial piety
待っててね
Please wait for me
俺がもう少し素直になれるまで
Until I can become a little more honest
久しぶりに見た横顔
The profile I haven't seen in a while
ちゃんと見た事なかったかも
Maybe I've never truly seen it
物語る無数の白髪やシワは
The countless gray hairs and wrinkles tell a story
ずっと俺を見守った証さ
They are the proof that you've always watched over me
でも変な意地が邪魔してつっぱねる
But my strange stubbornness gets in the way and pushes you away
暗闇の中一人突っ立ってる俺を
Standing alone in the darkness
めげずにまだ暖かい瞳で
You still look at me with warm eyes, without giving up
照らしてくれてるから
That's why you illuminate me
今はまだこれくらいしか
For now, this is all I can do
出来ないけど
But I can't do anything
素直な気持ちを聴いてくれ
Please listen to my honest feelings
いい加減な俺だから
Because I'm so unreliable
歌に載せて言いたいんだ
I want to say it through a song
今までずっと逃げてた
I've been running away all this time
でも本当は
But in reality
感謝の気持ちで溢れてるのさ
I'm overflowing with gratitude
泣かした沢山の記憶が
The many memories of making you cry
心の奥にこびりついてる
Are stuck deep in my heart
いつまでも俺は
I will always
かあちゃんを超えることは
Never be able to surpass you, mama
出来やしないのさ
It's impossible for me
今までずっとごめんよ
I'm sorry for all the times up until now
これからは楽させるから
From now on, I'll make sure you have an easy life
泣かしたぶんだけ幸せにするよ
I'll make you happy as compensation for all the times I made you cry
いつまでも笑顔でいてねmy mama
Please always stay with a smile, my mama
ありがとう...
Thank you...
