"I'm going to explain to you again the rules of the mine!" "First: refrain from alcohol and women." "Second:" "bets are forbidden." "Third:" "the superior, that is to say, me, can give you any orders whatever, which will be irrevocably obeyed." "These are the three rules of the mine, sacred and inviolable!" "My speech ends thus." "He's putting on airs, I'd say." "Has he been in the army, or something?" "He was a sergeant." "Will you tell me how the tale continues?" "Mother, Ofuji is crying again." "Ofuji, you won't solve anything by crying." "I see." "I have accepted it." "And even though I accept it, tears fall from my eyes." "That's what society is like." "What will be, will be." "Why don't you say something to her?" "Leave her alone." "Let her cry as much as she wants." "She'll run out of tears in no time." "I wish I could move backwards in time." "Miss..." "I seem to recognize your face." "It's possible." "As I wander around in search of work." "So perhaps we have seen each other." "What a nice song." "I'll teach you how to sing it if you have liked it." "Abandoned" "Abandoned" "This body" "This body" "Where will it get to" "There is a girl who wishes you to go." "How are things tonight?" "Not bad." "Boss..." "What about the first rule, regarding alcohol and women?" "We don't live in a molehill." "Now and then we have to breathe pure air." "Even the army gives leave to go out." "Now and then it's not so bad to smell make-up." " Not bad at all." " Thanks, boss!" "Great..." "Pure air is wonderful." "To smell make-up isnt' bad indeed." "Stop it!" "Let go of me!" "No, no!" "Leave me alone!" "Chuko..." "There's a chance for you to distinguish yourself." "Listen, listen..." "It's none of your business." "He says it's none of my business." "Your turn, Kenji." "Listen..." "Watch him closely." "Let's go outside." "How well you fight." "I've liked that." "Sorry if I bother you." "You were the one who was crying the other day on the boat, right?" "Right." "I have the feeling that it's a long time ago." "And it was actually just the other day." "I'd say you're from Kansai on hearing your accent, aren't you?" "What are you doing so far away?" "And what are you doing?" "We'd better not ask one another." "You are right." "Neither you nor I have nice memories." "Have you started smoking?" "Yes." "And also drinking." "Give me a good one." "He has convinced her very fast." "Here." "I don't know if I can swallow something so strong." "If you get drunk, I will look after you." "Listen..." "You will get drunk if you drink like that." "I will look after him, then." "If I get drunk, who will look after me?" "I won't." "I don't want you to look after me with these hands anyway." "What are you saying?" "What do you know about the pretty lady who is longing for these hands!" "What do I know!" "Is it you who left a message to my boss?" "Maybe I was." "No." "I was." "You promised to tell me how the tale goes on." "Have you forgotten that I told you not to show up at the bar?" "Run back to your room and go to bed." "Why don't you come to my room?" "Will anything interesting happen if I go?" "I can tell you how the tale goes on." "Don't do what you mustn't do!" "Boys, please feel at home!" "Drinks will be on me tonight." "Oaki!" "Oshizu and Otshuru, bring sake!" "Bring everything!" "Come on everybody, let's be cheerful and sing!" "Come on, let's sing, everybody!" "Number!" "1!" "2!" "3!" "4!" "5!" "6!" "7!" "8!" "9!" "10!" "11!" "12!" "13!" "13!" "15!" "16!" "17!" "18!" "19!" "Hey!" "Wake up!" "I said wake up!" "18!" "Wake up, you fools!" "I thought that woman was treating us, but it was a mistake." "[DRINKING BILL]" "Thanks to you, I had a good time last night." "You said we should go out again with you tonight." "To smell make-up isn't bad at all, is it?" "Hurry up!" "Sister!" "Well..." "The man who gave me the medal didn't come last night, either." "Yuki, do you like that man?" "Do you?" "This match is worth seeing." "Who do you think is going to win," "Ofuji or the owner?" "One of them has  a lot of technique when it comes to seducing men." "Ofuji has a big adversary." "However..." "Even if she's green, the novelty might end up winning." "In any case, the match is going to be interesting this evening." "Madam..." "What is it?" "My mother has written me again." "So what?" "I don't know what to do." "So what?" "Could you lend me a little something?" "You told me the same not long ago and I lent you something." "I can't always be friendly to you." "Wait a moment." "If you really need it, get yourself a good customer." "But I don't recommed you a man as coarse as a mole." "Watch out." "For who?" "The lady has wandered from Manchuria to Singapore." "They called her "Ohana continent"." "If you attract her grudge, you are lost." "I..." "I haven't done anything bad to attract her grudge." "I don't have anything to do with Kenji." "There's something else worrying me." "My mother is very ill." "When I came here, she was already ill." "You should take care of your mother." "The only normal thing women like us can do is fulfill our duties as daughters." "Mother..." "Will he come tonight as well, that gentleman I like so much?" "Do you like that gentleman, Michan?" "What about you?" "I asked Ofuji the same question, not so long ago." "She didn't say anything, either, and she smiled just like you." "This is no place for children." "Listen..." "If it continues snowing like this, we won't be able to see the sumo fight." "How cold it is!" "So good you've come in spite of the snow." " Subtítulo no traducido " "How strange, Ofuji has avoided him." "You can't tell yet, it just started." "What did you say when we last said goodbye?" "You told me to come again." "Was it pure diplomacy?" "Or did you say it out of habit?" "Listen, Chuko..." "I'm off." "The interesting part is starting now." "I also told you to come back." "And without any diplomacy or habit." "You are right." "Hey, what's going on?" "Shut up." "Listen, Kenji..." "Don't take any rush decision." "Well, well, something unexpected coming up." "Chuko, we're off." "I didn't tell you that, either, out of diplomacy or habit." "It will stay like this." "Ofuji manages well, too." "We won't miss the smallest detail." "Leave those youngsters alone." "I'm not such a grandmother." "What's wrong with you tonight?" "You look very depressed to me." "I have a problem." "Is it about money?" "I can't help you on that subject." "Has anyone ripped you off?" "It usually happens." "No, it's not that." "It's my mother." "She is dying." "She is applying weeping technique." "Men are so easy." "Tears make them fall." "Boss, please lend me some money." "Money?" "How much do you need?" "Give me this month's salary in advance." " I already advanced it to you." " Next month's, then." "Send it to your mother." "But..." "What about you?" "Don't you need it?" "I don't work to save money." "Wait a moment." "It seems that the fight tonight has been won by Ofuji." "I'll wash it..." "Thank you." "Can you wash mine, too, while you're at it?" ""North..."" ""North..." "Port village..."" ""Port village..."" "We won't be successful if we don't learn this song by heart." "Your turn." "Abandoned" "Abandoned" "[CANCIÓN 3]" "Abandoned" "This abandoned body will roll to the northern lands" "That port village" "What a bad singer you are!" "Learn it once and for all." "CAPATAZ" "What do you think?" "About what?" "About Ohama." "Do you think she likes me?" "What do you think?" "I'm afraid I have to tell you that there is no hope." "The thing is Ohama is in love with Kenji." "Damn it!" "Do you have an iron?" "The lady just took it with her." "You can take the iron with you." "Who are you waiting for?" "Ohama or Ofuji?" "Don't get me more nervous." "That glance..." "Don't get me worried." "Your shirt is in my room." "Why don't you come up and change clothes?" "Make yourself comfortable, Mr Kudo." "A woman's room smells of a woman." "This here smells different." "Because your shirt is there." "Why don't you change?" "Well, well, how supple you are!" "I can wash it again some other time." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "You're only saying this?" "Oh, I almost forgot to pay you..." "How much do I owe you?" "Do you think you can buy a woman's kindness like this?" "How sad to be a wandering man." "The other day you spoke about some interesting tale if I came here." "What kind of tale are you imagining?" "I can imagine it's not:" ""Once upon a time there were a grandfather and a grandmother..."" "It could be similar." ""Once upon a time a man and a woman."" "And then?" "The woman washed the man's shirt." "And then?" "The woman felt she wanted to wash it every day." "And then?" "And soon, the woman wasn't too happy about only washing shirts." "And then?" "That's the man the woman wants to marry." "And then?" "However, it seems the man doesn't understand the woman's feeling." "And then?" "He still doesn't understand." "And then?" "Doesn't he understand yet?" "Seems he doesn't." "And then?" "And then?" "And then?" "Boss, you're drunk." "So what if I'm drunk?" "We can't talk if you're drunk." "Stop it, leave him alone!" "Mister, have you had a row?" "It's bad to have a row." "You're hurt." "If you have a row," "I don't like you." "Attention!" "Number!" "13!" "14!" "15!" "16!" "17!" "18!" "19!" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "Haven't you heard the call?" "I can't work with this hand." "Or do you prefer to make me work with this hand?" "Do whatever you like!" "Boss!" "I heard that yesterday there was a collapse in sector 3." "And what about it?" "Are you afraid of dying?" "Maybe." "Recently you've been disagreeing with me in everthing." "Chuko...." "You hadn't left yet?" "I have an engagement." "Brother..." "Ofuji washed only my shirt." "I don't look as bad as I thought." "Brother!" "Don't feel bad." "Watch out." "Don't let them steal her from you." "How many girls have left you?" "Sorry for having come as far as this." "So nice weather right now." "It is, yes." "It's really good." "True." "Very good." "Yesterday was nice, too." "Yes." "The weather was good, too, yesterday." "Tomorrow will be nice, too." "Let's drop the weather subject." "Let's talk about something else." "Listen..." "The truth is I have come to see Kenji." "Kenji has gone to the city." "What for?" "To see Ohama, I guess." "Such nice weather." "Tomorrow will also be nice!" "And after tomorrow!" "And every day!" "How come you're here so early?" "Do I bother you if I come early?" "We still haven't cleaned." "Sometimes, a woman's untidy room isn't so bad." "Stop spinning." "You haven't fixed her yet?" "I'm not a doctor." "So it will take me some time." "But your hand has healed immediately." "Michan, do you like me?" "Yes, I like you." "And Ofuji likes you, too." "And my mother, too." "Shall we go to your mother's room?" "I can't." "She scolds me if I go into her room." "Why does she scold you?" "That room..." "It isn't a place for children." "If you accept me," "I am willing to marry you whenever you want." "Typical words for a man." "I'm sick of hearing these words." "I see." "So..." "I'll think of new words and I'll come back." "Don't come in!" "Sir!" "Do you want to learn this song?" "Do you know it?" "I'll teach it to you." "Let's go over there." "I haven't got any children, but I think they're adorable." "Society despises me." "I have no hope myself." "But after playing with Michan," "I begin to feel that I am recovering something I had forgotten." "Have you ever sung a lullaby to your own daughter?" "You should care more." "I said goodbye to society a long time ago, but when I play with her, the lullaby my mother sang for me sounds again in my ears." "I..." "I haven't stopped walking a winding path until now." "Which is why I myself was my only worry." "I didn't have any time to think of my daughter." "That's why I still haven't sung for her one single lullaby." "Chuko...." "You have your head in the clouds." "It's time to come back." "I..." "My world has grown dark." "The outside world is for me darker than the bottom of the mine." "Collapse!" "Collapse!" "Who is it?" "What a scandal!" "Collapse!" "Collapse in sector 8!" "Collapse?" "Is there someone inside?" "Chuko is still inside." "Chuko!" "Chuko!" "Chuko!" "Chuko!" "Chuko!" "Chuko!" "Chuko!" "Chuko!" "Chuko!" "Chuko!" "Ofuji, do you know where Omitsu is?" "Taking a walk with the foreman." "Excuse me, do you know where the foreman is?" "He is gone out partying." "Where is Omitsu?" " I don't know." " Weren't you with her?" "She followed me until we got to these surroundings." "Then I don't know." "Boss!" "Don't you know there has been a collapse in sector 8?" "What?" "A collapse in sector 8?" "Michan!" "Michan!" "Michan!" "Michan!" "Michan!" "Michan!" "Michan!" "Michan!" "Michan!" "Madam!" " Michan has come back." " Really?" "Please..." "Will you leave us by ourselves," "Chuko and me?" "I want to cry until there is not one single tear left." "We've known each other for a long time." "We met in Sado." "We've walked everywhere since then:" "from east to west." "We've always eaten the same portions." "We said we would die together." "We promised by shaking hands." "We also shared a little sake." "He was desperate." "You treated me well." "But you are already dead." "Chuko..." "Why?" "Why are you leaving me on my own?" "Chuko..." "Chuko!" "Why don't you make an end of that theatre?" "The death of a miner is like that of a soldier in the battlefield." "There is no need of so much crying over a death." "Boss..." "Let's get out of here." "Boss..." "Are these the words with which you remember Chuko?" "If that's so," "I'll say thank you on his behalf." "Kenji..." "Have you finished to say goodbye?" "You have stabbed me!" "Listen!" "Wait!" "Kenji!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Kenji!" "Wait!" " I have brought you some tobacco." " Thank you." "Thank you for everything." "If I wash this, would madam get angry?" "All right." "I'll wash it." "Will you allow me to?" "Thank you." "They won't look for you here." "Last night I slept with my mother for the first time." "It's the first time I've felt like a mother after hearing your words." "You felt good, didn't you?" "Please don't sing that song!" "Madam...." "This shirt is torn." "Why don't you sew it?" "If you don't, who will?" "I am a very clumsy seamstress." "Then you must learn well, and you'll be a good wife." "Mother..." "Can you sleep with me tonight too?" "Yes." "From now on I'll sleep with you every night." "How dark it is." "Let's light the lamp." "They will see us, then." "You are right." "I've washed this shirt and I've sewn it." "Thank you very much." "But it's the first time I've done so." "So it's not completely well done." "But I'll learn and I'll improve." "Ohama told me the same." ""Learn well and you'll be a good wife."" "Do you think I can become a good wife?" "What do you think?" "Tell what you think." "I'm convinced that you will." " Stay away!" " There's no one!" "Why are you shouting like that?" "Let me look upstairs." "He is not here." "Kenji isn't here." "Who said I was looking for Kenji?" "I'm going to look upstairs." "You wait for me here." "Boss!" "Why don't you come to my room?" "Is there anything in your room that might interest me?" "Yes, I can tell you something exciting." "I can teach you a song, too." "And what else?" "Have you learnt the song by heart?" "Yes." "Why don't you sing, then?" "You can't now." "I have to put on makeup." "You have to wait a little." "I'll make myself up right away." "All right?" "Michan, teach the gentleman a song." "Mother, can I sing that song?" "Yes." "Yes." "Teach it to him well." "Ofuji..." "Can I ask you a favour?" "Run away with Kenji." "A ship will weigh anchor in no time." "Me?" "If you don't take him with you, who will?" "You aren't learning it properly." "Sir..." "Sing it." "Come on." "These are my clothes." "Take them along." "Listen to me." "Listen to me." "Be careful." "What's the matter with you?" "Easy!" "It's fixed." "Do whatever you want." "Come on." "Let's sing." "We're going to sing." "Let us all sing." "Seems it's going to snow." "I hope the sea won't be rough." "GOODBYE, MICHAN." "Is the gentleman gone?" "From now on there will only be you and I, Michan." "We'll go south, with the good weather." "THE END"
