I believed it's a song in 1960s or 70s when I heard it but the Parental Advisory Label at the right bottom of the screen told me otherwise. It's released in 2017 just two years ago.
Belter (Gerry Cinnamon)
[Verse 1: Gerry Cinnamon]
She is a belter, different from the rest *
Diamonds oan' her finger and she always looks her best
She is a gangster, with a hundred-mile stare
When she walks her feet don’t touch the flare'
She is a belter
[Verse 2]
She plays wae' lightning, I’m a hundred miles high
Dishing out the thunder like a god inside the sky
She is a dancer and she dances in my dreams
Reminds me that the world is not as evil as it seems
She is a belter
[Chorus]
No happy endings, unless fairy-tales come true
But she looks like a princess and there’s not much else to do
I think I love her
She gets underneath my skin
But I’ve been stung a few times, so I don't let no one in
No even belter
[Refrain]
She is a belter
She is a belter
She is a belter
She is a belter, different from the rest *
Diamonds oan' her finger and she always looks her best
She is a gangster, with a hundred-mile stare
When she walks her feet don’t touch the flare'
She is a belter
[Verse 2]
She plays wae' lightning, I’m a hundred miles high
Dishing out the thunder like a god inside the sky
She is a dancer and she dances in my dreams
Reminds me that the world is not as evil as it seems
She is a belter
[Chorus]
No happy endings, unless fairy-tales come true
But she looks like a princess and there’s not much else to do
I think I love her
She gets underneath my skin
But I’ve been stung a few times, so I don't let no one in
No even belter
[Refrain]
She is a belter
She is a belter
She is a belter
[Verse 3]
How can she reach me when I’m high above the shelf?
Lost inside a smoke ring while I ponder tae' myself
Is she the answer, tae the question in my mind?
Is happiness an option, or has love just turned me blind?
Is she a belter?
[Chorus]
No happy endings; unless fairy-tales come true
But she looks like a princess and there’s not much else to do
I think I love her
She gets underneath my skin
But I’ve been stung a few times, so I don't let no one in
No even belter
[Outro]
She is a belter
She is a belter
She is a belter
[Verse 1: Gerry Cinnamon]
あいつは本当に「とびきり」で，他のヤツとは全然違う
指にはダイヤの指輪をつけて，どんなときでも最高の自分を見せて隙がない
あいつは本当に「悪党で」100マイル先からだってお見通し
歩いてる時だって足が床についてない **
めちゃめちゃイケてるヤツなんだ
[Verse 2]
あいつなら稲妻だって操れる，俺はめちゃめちゃ高いところで
空の神になったみたいに雷を繰り出している
ダンサーで夢に出てきて踊ってるけど
その姿を見ていると，世の中も捨てたもんじゃないなってそう思えてくるんだよ
あいつはめちゃめちゃイケているから
[Chorus]
お伽話が現実になったりすれば別だけど，そうじゃなきゃロクな結末待ってないけど
あいつはまるでお姫様，こうでもしなきゃ仕方ない
あいつに惚れているのかな？
あいつのことが気にかかるけど
今までに酷い目に遭っているからそうそう心は許せない
それがイケてる相手でも
[Refrain]
あいつは本当に「とびきり」で
めちゃめちゃイケてるヤツなんだ
[Verse 3]
棚の上に乗ったみたいこんな風にしていたら，あいつだって手が出ない
煙で作った輪っかのなかで，ぼんやりと「自分探し」してたら
このまま上手くやれんのか？それとも好きって気持ちのせいでただ見えてないだけなのか？
本当にあいつはイケてんのかな？
[Chorus]
お伽話が現実になったりすれば別だけど，そうじゃなきゃロクな結末待ってないけど
あいつはまるでお姫様，こうでもしなきゃ仕方ない
あいつに惚れているのかな？
あいつのことが気にかかるけど
今までに酷い目に遭っているからそうそう心は許せない
それがイケてる相手でも
[Outro]
あいつは本当に「とびきり」で
めちゃめちゃイケてるヤツなんだ
（補足）
* belter ・・・ スコットランドの方言で「カッコイイ人」という意味だそうです。
** flare ・・・ Gerry Cinnamonの出身地では「floor」をこのように発音するとか。
（余談）
土産物屋の店先の木刀がやけに輝いて見えるようなものではないでしょうか？（意味不明）
