Japanese
Rōmaji
ほら憂いも病もみな
玉の箒で掃き捨てる
赤い眼の同胞が
虫の息にて蛸踊り
飲めど飲めど酔いはせぬ
当に蟒蛇 万歳!
あら綺麗も嫌いも無く
今宵の酔いに酔いしれる
座り眼の娘らに
冷い視線を投げられても
酔えど酔えど沈みゃせぬ
此ぞ蟒蛇 万歳!
空見上げりゃ御天道様
今日も明日も明後日も
蟒蛇万歳!
English Translation
Here, sweep away all woes and throes
With the exquisite besom (1)
The brothers with their eyes red
Do the octopus dance with faint breath
Drink, drink, but won't get drunk
Verily, hurrah heavy drinkers!
Why, brushing aside likes and dislikes
Tonight we will thrill to tiddly tipsiness
Even if girls with glassy eyes
May cast frosty looks at us
Drunk, drunk, but won't drop
Truly, hurrah heavy drinkers!
When we look up to the sky, there's the sun
Today, tomorrow and the day after that
Hurrah heavy drinkers!
