Manowar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
僕の手を取ってくれた。
お父さん知ってほしい
今やっと分かった。
教えてくれた 真実と過ち
そして生きる道。
あなたがくれた
期符を裏切った事がない。
間違った時も
失敗した時も
自分を強くしてくれた。
貴方は私の側にいる
毎日、毎時
私がやる全ての事
私はあなたの一部分。
私遣のために生きて来た。
それがあなたの全て
与えるために
血と汗を流して
家族の為に生きて来た。
あなたがいたから
I know how to live
あなたは私の側にいる。
毎日，毎時
私がやる全ての事
I'm just a part of you
お父さん、たったひとつ
あなたは何時も知っていた。
Every word you said to me was true

The singer thanks his father for teaching him the truth and mistakes and showing him the way to live. The singer acknowledges how his father never let him down and taught him to be strong in times of failure or mistakes, always pushing him to be his best.
The singer expresses immense gratitude towards his father, recognizing that he is an essential part of him, and everything he does is influenced by his father. He acknowledges that his father has sacrificed a lot for him, including shedding blood and sweat in providing for the family. Through this, the singer has learned how to live from his father and how to be a better man. The last lines of the song pay homage to the father's wisdom, stating that every word he has spoken is true, and the singer is forever grateful for his guidance.

My Grandfather fought the Japanese in WWII. And even still, he always respected them as fellow human beings and as proud soldiers fighting for their country. He never gave in to blind hatred or racism as many others did. I hardly remember the man, but I will still do whatever I can to follow his example. So Hail to Japan, my brothers! Hail and Kill!

You can respect them when you have won and offer them your hand later. But definitely NOT when either the swastika flag or the flag of the rising sun or today the filthy flag of Mordor´s orc hordes is about to fly over your country. In this case you need strength and hate towards your enemy. Playing nice and fair does not help if it will be the end of you, your family, your country, your religion, your way of living.

I have to give them credit for doing this in so many languages and still maintain that tone of voice
