静かで熱烈な人気です。奥さんの熱唱の第６話をお届けします
A mood that's calm and passionate. Presenting the sixth chapter of the ballad of the wife

素顔だと思っていたものは仮面だった。平凡な日常だと思っていたものは嘘だった。
What she thought was sincere was just a facade. What she thought were just regular days was just a lie.

２
本人も知らぬ心の奥底を流れる記憶それとも。。。
Unknown to even herself, the memories that flow in the depth of her heart, or are they...

どうして泣くの？
Why are you crying?
わからない
I don't know

３
何か悲しいの
Is something sad?
わからない
I don't know

４
将棋で、縦の同列上に自分の「歩」を二つ並べるという禁じ手
The "nifu" rule is that you can not put two unpromoted pawns at the same column

王手
Sabu: Check

二歩です
Hori: It's nifu
え？あっ　チッ
Sabu: Eh? Ah, darn.
うーむ　しばし　待たれよ
Sabu: Ummm hold on a second

ところで兄さんはここに来てどのくらいたつかね？
Sabu: By the way bro, how long has it been since you came here?
３ヵ月ちょっとですね
Hori: 3 months and a bit.

５
今どこに住んどるのかね
Sabu: Where are you living now?
田中荘です
Hori: Tanaka's place.
ああ　あそこ　もう　取り壊すんじゃないのか？
Sabu: Ah, isn't that place going to be demolished?
ええ　でも　まだ先なので　更新なしということで　２年だけ
Hori: Yes, but that's still in the future and there have been no updates about it for 2 years

兄さんはどこの出かね？
Sabu: Where are you from bro?
九州です
Hori: Kyushu
ふむ　それにしちゃ訛リがないが
Sabu: Hrm, but you don't have an accent
あちこち移り住んでいましたからね
Hori: That's because I moved around here and there

もともと東京にいたんじゃないのかね
Sabu: You are originally from Tokyo aren't you?
いえ
Hori: No
でもこっちに移って１０年ほどたちますが
Hori: But it's been 10 years since I moved here

王手
Sabu: Check
いいんですか角がきいてますよ
Hori: Are you sure? What about my bishop?
うっ
Sabu: Uh

しかし兄さんも大変だのう
Sabu: But it must be tough on you too, right?

６
あのような気の強い女にこき使われて
Sabu: Being worked to the bone by that headstrong woman
そんなことないですよ
Hori: That's not it at all
いや～　隠さんでいい　あれの気性はよく知っとる
Sabu: Nah～ You don't have to hide it, I know her temperament well

まあ　あの若旦那もそういうところが良かったんだろうがなあ。。。
Hori: Well, that young husband of her's was also good at that but...

ご主人ってどういうかただったんですか？
Sabu: What kind of person was her husband?

うむ。。。　いつも笑ってるような顔しとったな
Sabu: Um... He always put on a laughing face
はあ
Hori: Oh
いや　あれが地顔だったのかな　とにかく好男子じゃったわ
Sabu: Well, I wonder if that was his real face. Anyways he was handsome.


７
それに　話好きで　人の話をよく聞いてたな
Sabu: He also liked to talk and listened well to what people had to say
客のジジババの益体もない話を聞かされてたのをよく見かけたよ
Sabu: I often saw him listening to the meaningless conversations of the geezers at the bathhouse
じゃあ　いきなり　消えてしまうような人には見えなかったんですね
Hori: Then he didn't seem like someone who would suddenly disappear, huh?
まあな。。。　
Sabu: Well now...
しかし
Sabu: But...

どう見えるかというのは　何をするかという事と　あまり関係のないことだからなあ
Sabu: How someone seems and what they do don't really have anything to do with each other
二歩です
Hori: That's a nifu.
アレ？
Sabu: Huh?

しかし　まあ　アレだな。。。
Sabu: But... well... about that...

８
このまま　旦那が　帰ってこなかったら　君がここの後釜にすわるということも在り得るわけだな
Sabu: If things continue like this and he doesn't return, it's possible that you might take his place here
えっ？
Hori: Eh?
釜焚きだけに後釜　ククク。。。
Sabu: An inheritor of the incinerator kukuku...

かなえ坊だってまだ若い 先行き厳しい　この商売を女手だけでやっていくには何かと心細かろう
Sabu: Kanae-bou is still young and the future is merciless. For a woman to make it alone in that kind of business seems somehow hopeless
あ　いや　その。。。
Hori: Ah, no, that's...
それに　一人寝に慣れるにはまだ酷なトシだろうて
Sabu: Furthermore, she's still young and it would be regrettable for her to get used to sleeping alone.

正直にいいたまえ　君らもう　いくところまで　いったんじゃあないのか？　ン？
Sabu: I'll give it to you straight, you two have already done the deed haven't you? Right?
健康な独り身の男女が風呂場で二人ぎりで働いたりしてるんだ　そりゃあそうなったって不思議じゃない
Sabu: It wouldn't be strange for that to happen to healthy single men and women working together at a bath house
。。。なあ　誰にも　口外せんから
Sabu: ...Hey, I won't tell anyone

９
堀さんごはんよ
Kanae: Hori-san, Dinner
うわーーーーーーー
Sabu: UWA--------

あら？　誰かしら　よんでもないのに　怪しい人がいるわね
Kanae: Oh? Who could it be? I didn't invite anyone over and yet there's this suspicious person here.
クラ！　クラ！
Kanae: Kura! Kura!
いや！　いや～あ　違うんじゃよ　奥さぁ～ん
Sabu: No! No- This is a mistake ma'am

何が違うのよ！　人ん家チョコチョコ入り込んで勝手なことばかりほざいて　いい加減にしなさいよ！！
Kanae: What's a mistake?! Sneaking into someone's house and babbling only about self-indulgent things. You have got to be kidding me!!
大体あたしがどうしようとサブじいに関係ないでしょ！　大きなお世話よ！！
Kanae: Besides what I do has got nothing to do with you! Mind your own business!

１０
いや～　ゴカイじゃよ　話を聞いてくれ~
Sabu: This is a misunderstanding, listen to me-
何がゴカイなのよ！　放してよ！
Kanae: What misunderstanding! Let go!
い　いや　その
Sabu: N...No that's...

そのようなこと口にする輩がいたので　わしは諌めたのじゃ！
Sabu: There were people that were saying those sort of things, I was just warning him about it!
かな坊はそのような婦女ではない わしは昔から知っておる。。。と！
Sabu: I was saying, I've known since way back when that Kana-bou wasn't that kind of woman!

クラ　あの人咬んじゃっていいよ
Kanae: Kura, you can go ahead and bite this guy over here
うわーっ　まってくれ！！
Sabu: Uwa- wait!!

。。。ところでわしのごはんは？
Sabu: ... by the way, what about my dinner?
あるわけないでしょ！！
Kanae: Like hell there'd be any!!

１１
うむ　うまい
Sabu: Fabulous
。。。　本当心臓だわ
Kanae: ... I'm touched

このイカと大根の煮物うまいのう
Sabu: This stewed squid and daikon is great
そりゃどうも
Kanae: Thank you
これワタで煮たんじゃろ
Sabu: This was cooked with it's inner parts wasn't it?
そうよ
Kanae: That's right
イカは刺身が一番じゃが　もう旬を過ぎとるのでやはり煮て正解。。。
Sabu: Squid is the best as sashimi, but it's already past season so stewing it was correct choice...
うるさいわね　いちいち！
Kanae: Can't you be quiet!

そのトリ団子ひとつもらってもいいかな？
Sabu: Can I have one of those chicken meatballs?
あ　どうぞ
Hori: Ah, go ahead.
あっ　こらっ！
Kanae: Ah, Hey!
ふむ　うま煮じゃなコレは
Sabu: Hmm, this is good too

うまいうまい
Sabu: Yum Yum
それから絶品はこのキンピラじゃよ
Sabu: And the special entree are these chopped vegetables
１２

やわらかいが歯ごたえのある炒め煮加減に　ピリ辛の濃すぎず薄すぎずの絶妙な味付け。。。
Sabu: It's soft but it's been stir-fried to a degree that it has consistency, the exquisite seasoning is piquant and neither too thick nor too light...
食べるかしゃべるかにしてよもう！
Kanae: Jeez are you eating or talking!

きんぴらはねえ　お父さんが好きでよく作ってくれたんだけど
Kanae: The vegetables were a favorite of father's that he made often for us
おお紘三さんか
Sabu: Oh, Kouzou-san, huh?
なかなか　あの味に近づけないのよねえ
Kanae: Mine can't hold a candle to it's flavor though

ごちそうさまです　
Hori: Thank you for dinner
あの　これ　食べますか？
Hori: Um, would you like some of this?
おっ　すまんの
Sabu: Ah, excuse me
食べる食べる
Sabu: I'll have some, I'll have some.
あっ　堀さん
Kanae: Oh, Hori-san

あたし　明日またお昼頃出かけます
Kanae: I'm going to go out again tomorrow afternoon
わかりました
Hori: Alright

何用じゃ？
Sabu: For what?
別に
Kanae: Nothing in particular

１３
堀といったっけ？　彼はどうやって雇ったのかね
Sabu: Hori was it? How did you end up hiring him?
組合の紹介で
Kanae: He was introduced by the association
ふーん
Sabu: Hmmm

かな坊　あの男な。。。
Sabu: Kana-bou that guy...

なあに？　
Kanae: Wha-t?
いや　やめとく
Sabu: Nah, nevermind.
何よ　気になるわね
Kanae: What is it? It's gonna bother me
うむ　じつは。。。
Sabu: Um, to be honest...

その前に　お茶受けにこう　なんか　甘いもんないかの？
Sabu: Putting that aside, aren't there any sweets to go with the tea?
サブじい　もう帰っていいよ
Kanae: Sabu-jii, you can leave now

4F Karaoke Room
中華　飯店　来門
Chinese Restaurant Raimon

１４
カラオケ店なんて久しぶり。。。
Kanae: I haven't been to a Karaoke place in a while...
まあ　たまには　ちょっと気分を変えてみようかと
Yamazaki: Well, sometimes it's good to try something different
それに大事な話をするときは喫茶店よりいいんですよ
Yamazaki: Besides, it's better than a cafe for when you have to talk about something important.

あ　これ　この間書いて貰った委任状で取ってきたご主人の両親の戸籍謄本です
Yamzaki: This is the family register of your husband's parents that I got using the authorization that you signed for me.
ちょっと見てもらえますか
Yamazaki: Could you please take a look?
あ　はい
Kanae: Ah yes.

。。。山形県？
Kanae: ... Yamagata prefecture?

ご主人は兵庫県の出身だっておっしゃってましたよね？
Yamazaki: You said your husband was born in Hyougo prefecture didn't you?

１５
ええたしか小野の出身だって。。。
Kanae: Yes, I'm certain he said he was born in Ono
あ　でもそれは育った施設なんじゃ。。。
Kanae: Ah, but that was the institution he was raised at...
奥さん　それを見て気づきませんか？
Yamazaki: Ma'am haven't you noticed while looking at that?

ご両親の所死亡の日付が２年前になってるでしょう
Yamazaki: The date of his parents death is 2 years ago.

。。。え？
Kanae: ... Huh?

現地に行って　確認してきました
Yamazaki: I went to the area and confirmed it
ご両親は２年前の火事が原因で亡くなれるましたが　それまでは山形でご健在でした
Yamazaki: His parents died from a fire two years ago but they were alive and kicking until then
１６

じゃあ　交通遺児で施設で育ったというのは。。。
Kanae: Then what he said about being orphaned because of a traffic accident and being raised in an institution was...
彼は高校卒業するまで　親元で育ちました
Yamazaki: He was raised by his own parents until he graduated high school
その後　大学を卒業してから家とは連絡が途絶えたようです
Yamazaki: And then, after he graduated college it seems that he didn't keep in contact with his family

ご主人はなんでそんなウソをついたんでしょうね？
Yamazaki: Why would your husband tell that sort of lie?

何か親との間に複雑な事情でもあったんでしょうか？
Yamazaki: Could there have been some complicated issues with his parents?
現地でいろいろ聞いてみましたがそういった話は聞けませんでした
Yamazaki: I asked around while I was there but didn't hear anything like that.

まあ　だいたいこちらで聞いたような人柄のいい人気者という評判が多く。。。
Yamazaki: Well, generally, the rumors I was asking about weren't the good kind but...

１７
大丈夫ですか？
Yamazaki: Are you alright?
え。。。　あ。。。　はい。。。
Kanae: Y... Um... Yes...

。。。では　その他　詳しくはこの報告書に記してありますので後でご覧になってください
Yamazaki: ... Well, all the other information and the details are written down in this report so please take a look at it afterward.

うむ
Yamazaki: Um

１８
奥さん一曲歌いませんか？
Yamazaki: Ma'am would you like to sing a song?
はい？
Kanae: Huh?
ホラ　せっかく　カラオケ店に来てるんだし
Yamazaki: Come on, we're at a Karaoke place after all.

そんな。。。とてもそんな気分じゃ。。。
Kanae: That... I'm not in the mood at all...
まあまあ　いいじゃないですか　たまには
Yamazaki: No, no, it's fine isn't it, occasionally
じゃあ　僕歌っちゃっていいですか？
Yamazaki: Then, I'll sing one alright?
えーと　何しようかな
Yamazaki: Hmmm what should I pick

いやー歌うの久しぶりだなー
Yamazaki: Ahh It's been so long since I've sang
おっ　スポットライトもあるぞ
Yamazaki: Oh, they've got a spotlight too

えーそれでは　不肖　山崎道夫　ダウン　タウン　ブギ　ウギ　バンド　を　歌います
Yamazaki: Umm alright then, I, Yamazaki Michio, shall humbly sing Down Town Boogie Woogie Band.

王手
Sabu: Check

む
Hori: Hm
どーじゃ　二歩じゃないじゃろ
Sabu: How about that, it's not Nifu is it!
ま　ゆっくり考えたまえ
Sabu: Well, take your time and think about it.

いや先日はつまらぬ勘ぐりをして悪かった
Sabu: Sorry about being meaninglessly suspicious yesterday

２６
じつは　かな坊にはすでに　情夫がいる事が判明した
Sabu: Truthfully, it's already clear that Kana-bou has a lover
これは仮せるけど　これからああきて　あれからそうきて
Hori: That's granted but if I do this he'll do that, if I do that he'll do this
昨日　カラオケ店から二人で仲睦まじく出しきたところを目撃してしまったのじゃよ

こうきて　ああきて　こうなって。。。

Kanae: Sabu-jii you're banned from coming around!!
あ　詰みだ

Sabu: Adadadadadada!!

隠された真実があることに気ついたかなえは、向き合う準備を静かに始める。
Kanae, who has realized the truth that was hidden, quietly begins to prepare to face them.

Notes:
This chapter is great just for the karaoke scene but also for the pretty funny scenes of Sabu asking if he's done the deed or "gone all the way" or whatever idiom you want to use...


8
Sabu seems to be making a pun through the repetition of "cha" in chadaki & chagama. I tried to convey this by just making it rhyme.

11
。。。　本当心臓だわ
Unsure about this since the literal meaning makes little sense and I can't think of any expression that this would be...

Down town boogie woogie band - Uragirimono no tabi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABZwaJs8M7A

and not

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXObWIMX8sY

Though both are boss tunes

21/22
For the sfx just listen to the song
Chara - Duca
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhT7eekwf2Q

I have no idea what Duca really refers to but I'd guess it'd be the name of a pet or something like that. My favorite Chara song is probably the one she has done with Towa Tei "Let me Know"
