your nighttime promises,

entrusted to the corner of the bed,

(nothing but just another man)

nothing but just another man—

(nothing but just another man)

nothing but just another man.

If I like happiness

without false modesty,

it is because I have cried

who lives with a splintered soul

to reassure his male pride

and say "I am a man."

Make me cry without any regrets

because for me you are

(nothing but just another man)

nothing but just another man—

(nothing but just another man)

nothing but just another man—

(nothing but just another man)

nothing but just another man—

(nothing but just another man)

nothing but just another man—

(nothing but just another man)

nothing but just another man—

(nothing but just another man)

(nothing but just another man) ...
