道頓堀人情
天童よしみ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ふられたぐらいで 泣くのはあほや
呑んで忘れろ 雨の夜は
負けたらあかん 負けたらあかんで東京に
冷めとない やさしい街や道頓堀は
未練捨てたら けじめをつけて
きっぱりきょうから 浪花に生きるのさ

くちびるかんでも きのうは過去や
わかるやつには わかってる
負けたらあかん 負けたらあかんで東京に
冷めとない やさしい街や道頓堀は
でんと構えた 通天閣は
どっこい生きてる 浪花のど根性

三吉魂 あんたにあれば
うちが小春に なりもしよう
負けたらあかん 負けたらあかんで東京に
冷めとない やさしい街や道頓堀は




ほれてつきあう 今夜の酒は
まっ赤に流れる 浪花の心意気

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 天童よしみ's song 道頓堀人情 talks about the importance of not dwelling on past failures but instead moving forward and embracing new opportunities. The first stanza suggests that crying over being dumped is foolish and suggests drinking to forget on rainy nights. The importance of not giving up is emphasized as the singer declares that there’s no room for defeat in Tokyo, and that the warm and kind streets of Dotonbori call for those who refuse to be cold-hearted. The impact of leaving the past behind is underscored as the singer advises making a clean break to start a new life in Naniwa.


The second stanza expands on the theme of not dwelling on the past. The singer suggests that even if one's lips are sealed, yesterday is still in the past and that those who understand this should move on. The streets of Dotonbori and the iconic Tsutenkaku Tower are portrayed as symbols of perseverance, with the latter being a testament to Naniwa's never-give-up spirit. The singer declares that with the spirit of San-Yoshi (a term that refers to the collective energy of three people), anything is possible and that the heart and soul of Naniwa flows red like the sake they drink.


Overall, the lyrics convey a message of strength, resilience, and perseverance. They encourage the listener to move past their failures and to embrace new opportunities. The message is delivered through a mixture of regional pride, personal advice, and simple yet powerful imagery.

那樣地被拒絕就哭泣的話,是傻瓜唷!  《翻訳》
在雨夜裡喝喝酒,把它忘了吧!
認輸的話,那是不可以的。不能輸給東京。
不是冷漠的,道頓堀是溫馨的街坊。
捨棄依戀的話,就可做出有區別的特色。
今天起果敢地在大阪生活吧!

即使無奈咬唇, 昨日已是過去了。
明理的人都會了解。
認輸的話,那是不可以的。不能輸給東京。
不是冷漠的,道頓堀是溫馨的街坊。
莊嚴雄偉的通天閣象徵
大阪人充滿活力不屈不撓的精神。

如果有 坂田三吉 不怕輸,努力奮鬥,終於贏得「名人、王将」棋士頭銜的精神,
就能擁有小春的溫暖。
認輸的話,那是不可以的。不能輸給東京。
不是冷漠的,道頓堀是溫馨的街坊。
喜歡交陪,今夜的酒
流露出赤誠的大阪氣魄。
