Lyrics

Original

Japanese Kanji

調子はどうだい？　自分に尋ねる
奪われ続けて狂いそうさ
負け犬たちの悪臭がする
もう地獄さ　吐き気を催す

それでも母は気高くあれと
誇りを説いて　抱きしめてくれた
“ねぇ　ディオ　星を見上げてごらん”
母はそう言い続け　病で死んだ
呆気なく

なぜ手に何も無い　奪われるばかりか
なぁ　ジョースター　お前は持っているのか
その空は青いのか　なぁ　ジョースター

醜くて　最低の父親
負け犬は　ずっと負け犬だった

濁ったこの空の下で
もがき続けて死んで行った
遺産を　今受け取ろう
全て利用し　さぁ旅立とう

まだ手に何も無い　ここから始めよう
なぁ　ジョースター　お前は持っているだろう
その空に太陽を　そうだろ　ジョースター

English Translation

Chōshi wa dō dai? Jibun ni tazuneru
Ubaware tsuzukete kurui-sō sa
Makeinu-tachi no akushū ga suru
Mō jigoku sa hakike o moyōsu

How's it going? I ask myself
I keep having things stolen from me, it's driving me mad
The stench of deadbeats fills the air
This is already hell, the way it makes me sick

Sore demo haha wa kedakaku are to
Hokori o toite dakishimete kureta
"Nē Dio, hoshi o miagete goran"
Haha wa sō ii tsuzuke yamai de shinda
Mamonaku

Even so, my mother told me to stay noble
She taught me pride and held me close
"Hey, Dio, try to look up at the stars"
She kept saying that, until the illness took her
Too soon...

Naze te ni nani mo nai, ubawareru bakari ka
Nā Jōsutā, omae wa motte iru no ka
Sono sora wa aoi no ka nā, Jōsutā

Why are my hands always empty? Am I only meant to lose?
Tell me, Joestar, do you have it all?
Is that sky above you blue? Tell me, Joestar

Minikukute saitei no chichioya
Makeinu wa zutto makeinu datta

A vile and worthless father
A deadbeat will always be a deadbeat

Nigotta kono sora no shita de
Mogaki tsuzukete shinde itta
Isan o ima uketorō
Subete riyō shi sā tabidatō

Under this murky sky,
Struggling till the very end, he died
Now, I'll take my inheritance,
I'll make use of it all, and go forth

Mada te ni nani mo nai, koko kara hajimeyō
Nā Jōsutā, omae wa motte iru darō
Sono sora ni taiyō o, sō daro, Jōsutā

My hands remain empty as always, so I'll start from here
Tell me, Joestar, you have it all, don't you?
Does the sun shine in your sky? Does it, Joestar?
