Kanpai (Kampai) - Itsuki Hiroshi

"Kanpai (Kampai) Lyrics"

Katai kizu na ni, omoi o yosete

Katari tsukusenu seishun no hibi

Toki ni wa kizutsuki, toki ni wa yorokobi

Kata o tataki atta, ano hi...

Are kara dore kurai, tatta no darou

Shizumu yuuhi o, ikutsu kazoetarou

Furusato no tomo wa, ima demo kimi no

Kokoro no naka ni imasu ka...

Kampai ima kimi wa jinsei no

Ookina, ookina butai ni tachi

Haruka nagai michinori o aruki hajimeta

Kimi ni shiawase are

Kyandoru raito no, naka no futari o

Ima koushite me o hosometeru

Ookina yorokobi to, sukoshi no sabishi sa o

Namida no kotoba de, utaitai...

Asu no hikari o, karada ni abite

Furi kaerazu ni sono mama yukeba yoi

Kaze ni fukarete mo, ame ni utarete mo

Shinjita ai ni, se o mukeru na...

Kampai ima kimi wa jinsei no

Ookina, ookina butai ni tachi

Haruka nagai michinori o aruki hajimeta

Kimi ni shiawase are

Kampai ima kimi wa jinsei no

Ookina, ookina butai ni tachi

Haruka nagai michinori o aruki hajimeta

Kimi ni shiawase are

Kimi ni shiawase are

Kanpai or Kampai if we translate it to the practical meaning, it would mean "toast" or "cheers", but if we look at the kanji it has a more interesting meaning. 乾, the first kanji is used for example in the word 乾く (かわく, kawaku), which means "to dry up". 杯, the second kanji, is mostly used as a "wine cup" or an "alcoholic drink cup".
So, if we join both meanings and add a little feeling, it would mean "let's dry up our glasses!"
