思い出を語りだすドライバーのおじさん
戸惑う私を笑い 空を見上げた彼の視線は
夢描いた会社 さよならしたこと
そういえば I just think about my daddy
最近どうしてるのかな
動き出す人にのまれて 消されてく
※雨が降りそうなクラブ帰り
馬鹿騒ぎの後 静けさの中
今 過ぎた日々に思い重ねて
大事に大事に見つめていたいよ※
家族を背中に背負い 無敵だったあの若い頃
太い腕で子供を抱き上げたお父さん
戸惑う私を笑い 外に飛び出し こぶし掲げ
まだ負けられないと いまだに若いね
優しさに I just think about my daddy
最近 わかる気がするよ
暗闇の部屋に一人で 噛みしめる
He's gonna be raging crashing fading away
雨が降りそうな夜明け前に
馬鹿騒ぎの後 静けさの中
今 窓に映る記憶重ねて
大事に大事に見つめていたい
明日までこの人と過ごす 少し大人に近付いてくの
貴方から離れていくけど心の奥に芽生えているよ
悲しみとか苦しみがあると人は育つと教えてたよね
もし淋しさに潰されそうでもずっと側にいるから
One for myself Two for myself Three for myself
Four for myselfで
振り向かず家飛び出した 身勝手後先考えないで
勢い任せ「やってける」なんて融通効かず頑固なやつで
そう多々ある離れて気付くこと
ただ上手く言葉にできなくて
いつも苦労かけてばかりだね
本当に感謝してんだDaddy
どこも問題のない家庭なんてない
でも守り続けたからWe stayed tight
まじ思いどおりいかない毎日に腐ってるけど
「無理すんな」って残ったメッセージに
明日もう少し頑張るかなって
(※くり返し)
雨が降りそうな夜明け前に
馬鹿騒ぎの後 静けさの中
今、窓に映る記憶重ねて
大事に大事に見つめていたいよ
雨が降りそうな夜明け前に
窓に映る記憶重ねて
The lyrics of BENNIE K's "P-DAD" depict a young woman riding in a taxi, listening to an elderly driver reminisce about his past while a traditional Japanese ballad plays on the radio. She thinks back to her own memories of her father, who she wonders about and imagines fading away in the midst of a busy and overwhelming world. Despite feeling lost and uncertain, she is comforted by memories of her father, who she imagines as a strong and loving figure, carrying his family on his back with the confidence of youth. She reflects on the lessons he taught her about growing through pain and hardship, and is grateful for the stability and love he provided for their family. The song encourages listeners to cherish important memories and hold them close, even in the face of difficulties and changes in life.

思い出を語りだすドライバーのおじさん

Listening to Enka from the taxi radio
The driver's old memories spill out while he laughs
As I'm confused, he looks up at the sky
Remembering the company he dreamed of and left behind
そういえば I just think about my daddy
最近どうしてるのかな
動き出す人にのまれて 消されてく
He's gonna be raging crashing fading away
Come to think of it, I just think about my daddy
I wonder how he's been lately
As he's engulfed by people who are moving on, he fades away
He's gonna be raging, crashing, fading away

※Returning from a club, where rain seems imminent
In the midst of silence after the craziness
Thinking back to the days that have passed
I want to cherish them deeply and dearly※
家族を背中に背負い 無敵だったあの若い頃
太い腕で子供を抱き上げたお父さん
戸惑う私を笑い 外に飛び出し こぶし掲げ
まだ負けられないと いまだに若いね
Carrying my family on my back, I was invincible in my youth
My father lifted children with his strong arms
As I'm confused, he laughed and went out with fists raised
Saying he still can't give up, he's still young
優しさに I just think about my daddy
最近 わかる気がするよ
暗闇の部屋に一人で 噛みしめる
He's gonna be raging crashing fading away
Seeing kindness, I just think about my daddy
Lately, I've begun to understand
Alone in a dark room, I chew on my thoughts
He's gonna be raging, crashing, fading away
雨が降りそうな夜明け前に
馬鹿騒ぎの後 静けさの中
今 窓に映る記憶重ねて
大事に大事に見つめていたい
In the early morning before the rain comes
In the midst of silence after the craziness
Looking at the memories reflected in the window
I want to cherish them deeply and dearly
明日までこの人と過ごす 少し大人に近付いてくの
貴方から離れていくけど心の奥に芽生えているよ
悲しみとか苦しみがあると人は育つと教えてたよね
もし淋しさに潰されそうでもずっと側にいるから
Spending time with this person until tomorrow, getting a little closer to adulthood
Even if I'm going away from you, it buds deep in my heart
You taught me that people grow through sadness and pain
Even if I'm about to succumb to loneliness, I'll always be by your side
One for myself Two for myself Three for myself
Four for myselfで
振り向かず家飛び出した 身勝手後先考えないで
勢い任せ「やってける」なんて融通効かず頑固なやつで
そう多々ある離れて気付くこと
ただ上手く言葉にできなくて
いつも苦労かけてばかりだね
本当に感謝してんだDaddy
どこも問題のない家庭なんてない
でも守り続けたからWe stayed tight
まじ思いどおりいかない毎日に腐ってるけど
「無理すんな」って残ったメッセージに
明日もう少し頑張るかなって
One for myself, Two for myself, Three for myself
Four for myself
Without looking back, I selfishly ran away from home, without thinking of the consequences
I relied on my momentum, saying 'I can do this,' and I'm still stubborn, with no flexibility
There are many things we realize only after we're separated
I just can't put it into words properly
I'm always causing you trouble, Daddy, but I'm truly grateful
There's no home without problems anywhere
But we stayed tight because you kept protecting us
Even though our days don't go as we want, they're rotting away
But in the message you left us, 'Don't push yourself too hard,'
I'll try a little harder tomorrow
雨が降りそうな夜明け前に
窓に映る記憶重ねて
大事に大事に見つめていたいよ
In the early morning before the rain comes
Looking back on the memories reflected in the window
I want to cherish them deeply and dearly
