Hard Working Man (English ~japanese Version) Poem by Elena Sandu

Hard Working Man (English ~japanese Version)



Work work work work!
Work work work work!
Work to accumulate!
Work to achieve!
Can you dare to live?

Far Far Far Far
Far Far Far Far
Far from a wife
Far from the kids
What a nightmare dream!

Dream! Dream Dream Dream
Dream! Dream Dream Dream
Stop stop dreaming
Start start living
Drag self out of dream!

Speak speak speak speak
Speak speak speak speak!
Open your mouth, open your heart
Could it be that hard? !


ハ ー ド ウ ォ ー キ ン グ マ ン

仕 事   仕 事   仕 事   仕 事 !
仕 事   仕 事   仕 事   仕 事 !
貯 め る た め に 働 け !
成 し 遂 げ る た め に 働 け !
あ な た は そ う や っ て 生 き て い く の か ?

遠 く   遠 く   遠 く   遠 く
遠 く   遠 く   遠 く   遠 く
妻 か ら 遠 く
子 ど も た ち か ら も 遠 く
な ん て 悪 夢 !

夢 !   夢     夢     夢
夢 !   夢     夢     夢
夢 見 る こ と を 止 め る の を 夢 み る
生 き 始 め る の を 夢 み る
自 ら を 夢 か ら 引 き ず り 出 せ !

話 す   話 す   話 す   話 す
話 す   話 す   話 す   話 す !
口 を 開 け て 、 心 を 開 い て
そ ん な に 難 し い こ と だ ろ う か ? !



Translation by the kindness of a friend, Miyuki Kuroda, lots of thanks!

workaholic or enslavement? We are forgotten what is the most valuable thing in our life. This is a very sharp critique to those people who are worshiping wealth more than family. Excellent! ! !

The LOVE OF MONEY - Elena is the root of all evil not money itself! ! ! However I do take your point - some men are so so busy making money that they have no time for their wives or families. Perhaps if we abolished money and went back to bartering life would be happier and simpler. Thanks for sharing - Your Friend - JOHN: o)

He works to make up with the boss and clients, but forgets he's breaking up with his family. Nice one. I know women with a story like this. Keep writing.
