Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
大切な男が目の前で死んだとき
俺たちはただ黙って
指をくわえるだけなのか!
己、一匹の侍
売られたケンカならば
潔く買っちまえ
天空へ突き抜ける鉄拳をねじり込め
葬式が終わったら、
今こそ
己、一匹の侍
すみません、灯を貸して下さいよ
命の滴の流れゆく道を照らすから
どうせ貴様も軟弱な
アバラ骨に手を当てりゃ
己、一匹の侍
裏切りばかりのこの世で表を
ガッチリ歩くためによく聞け!
己、一匹の侍
イカサマだらけの
この街をぶった切れ!
朝となく昼となく夜となく
骨身を削って汗水垂らせ、まだまだ
己、一匹の侍
腹ン中かっさばき背骨をつくれ
被害者面して芝居上手な貴様
今夜限り縁をたたっ切れ、されど
己、一匹の侍
すみません、灯を貸して下さいよ
命の滴の流れゆく道を照らすから
どうせ貴様も軟弱な
アバラ骨に手を当てりゃ
己、一匹の侍
裏切りばかりのこの世で表を
ガッチリ歩くためによく聞け!
己、一匹の侍
己、一匹の侍
Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi's song Samurai is a patriotic ode to Japan, with the lyrics emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself and not following society's conventions. The song starts with the declaration that the singers have set off from the land of Yamato (another name for Japan) towards the North, with the use of flares to signal their departure. The chorus shouts "Samurai! Nippon!" which reinforces the idea of traditional Japanese values and ideals.
The lyrics develop into a call to action to be resolute and persistent in one's path in life, regardless of the challenges one may face. The singer urges the listeners not to be swayed by societal pressures and not to use circumstances as an excuse. The song stresses the importance of taking personal responsibility and making one's own choices. The lyrics conclude with a reminder that hardships can be overcome with perseverance and a stubborn will, as the singers aim to reach their destination and fulfill their dreams.
Overall, Samurai is an uplifting and inspiring song that champions individualism, patriotism, and perseverance. The musical style is quintessentially Japanese, with its strong chorus and punchy instrumentation. The lyrics, which somewhat resemble a battle cry, reflect the theme of the song, evoking a sense of pride and determination.
