乾杯
Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
語り尽くせぬ 青春の日々
時には傷つき 時には喜び
肩をたたきあった あの日
あれからどれくらいたったのだろう
沈む夕日を いくつ数えたろう
故郷の友は いまでも君の
心の中にいますか
大きな 大きな舞台に立ち
遙か長い道のりを 歩き始めた
君に 幸せあれ!
キャンドルライトの中の二人を
今こうして 目を細めてる
大きな喜びと 少しのさみしさを
涙の言葉で 歌いたい
明日(あす)の光を 身体にあびて
振りかえらずに
そのまま行けばよい
風に吹かれても 雨に打たれても
信じた愛に 背を向けるな
乾杯!今 君は人生の
大きな 大きな舞台に立ち
遙か長い道のりを 歩き始めた
君に 幸せあれ!
乾杯!今 君は人生の
大きな 大きな舞台に立ち
遙か長い道のりを 歩き始めた
君に 幸せあれ
君に 幸せあれ
In Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi's song Kanpai, the lyrics speak about the bonds of friendship and memories of youth that cannot be fully expressed in words. The song reflects on the bruises and the joys experienced over time with friends who have been shoulder to shoulder, in the moments of happiness and pain. The lyrics ask how much time has passed since that day when they patted each other's shoulders and counted the setting sun. The song then questions whether those friends from hometown are still in the heart.
The lyrics then shift to a moment of joy and a little bit of loneliness, with two people looking at each other in candlelight. The song expresses the desire to sing words of both joy and tears of tomorrow's light, to be soaked in the body without looking back. The lyrics advise that even if one is blown by the wind or beaten by the rain, one should not turn one's back on the love that is believed. The song ends with a toast to the singer, now standing on the big, big stage of life, starting a long journey with an earnest wish for happiness.
Overall, Kanpai talks about friendship, love, the passing of time, and life's journey. It celebrates the precious memories of youth and the beauty of relationships with loved ones and offers a hopeful message for the future.

Thinking of the strong bonds
of the younghood days which we can't say it all
Sometimes there are wounds, sometimes joy
Pats in the shoulders, those days
Since then how much there is until now
How many setting suns we counted
¿Do the friends of your hometown
always live in your heart?
Cheers to you now that you rehearse
In the great great stage of life
A long distance you started to walk
I wish you happiness
Two people between candlelights
In that way the eyes get narrow
A great joy and a little loneliness
I want to sing with words of tears
The bodies bathe in the light of tomorrow
You can continue without looking back
Even if the wind blows, even if the rain strikes
Don't turn your back to the love you believed
Cheers to you now that you rehearse
In the great great stage of life
A long distance you started to walk
I wish you happiness
Cheers to you now that you rehearse
In the great great stage of life
A long distance you started to walk
I wish you happiness
I wish you happiness

I came here after children in a war refugee camp from Myanmar sang the burmese version of this song. This song is very popular in my country.

Yes this song never fade in my mind, i used to work in different hotels in japan as Entertainer promoting Philippines folkdance to japan...
It was a very memorable and worth dying to reminisce all those days perhaps years of my venture in the Land of the Rising Sun....
There are good & bad memories but more on good sides.
Thank you Japan for the big opportunity you've given me.
