In the first verse of [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ8ViGoaV6k)
song, they say:

> 最寄り駅の改札抜ければ いつもよりちょっと勇敢なお父さん

Is this even a full sentence? My translation would be:

> When passing through the ticket gate at the nearest station as usual, comes
> out(?) a little more brave father.

Is this translation correct and also, I thought that when saying when the tara
form is being used? Isn´t kereba more like if he passes through the ticket
gate?

question
translation relative-clauses
Translation of sentence and why is a kereba used in this sentence?
The song is about working day-in and day-out for your family and so they use
the kereba in sense that _if or when_ he is able to through that gate just
that one more time, then the father becomes a little bit braver as he fights
the world (at work). The assumption that is that it's sometimes hard to face
the world.

Using your translation as a base, I'd say something like:

> If/When he passes through the ticket gate at the nearest station, daddy will
> come out a little bit braver.
