I've been using this raincoat for three years
And the stripes on my pride are getting out of place
If I clench my teeth with the sunset behind me,
Then I remember the smell of hot water, and of my home
If I don't want to, then I don't
If I don't want to, then I don't
Hanjirou of Hakone eight Ri
Love is like a parquetry
If you miss the spot, then everything goes wrong
I'm pointing a sword at the girl at the inn
If I have mercy, then rust will form
If I don't want to, then I don't
If I don't want to, then I don't
It's an irresponsible hat made of straw
Going around the cedar trees
I prowl around this place I was born
Mother, I'm sorry, I can't even show my face
I'll make up for this in double, I promise
If I don't want to, then I don't
If I don't want to, then I don't
Hanjirou of Hakone eight Ri
