Kyo Sakamoto - "Ue o muite arukō" (Sukiyaki)
Ue o muite arukoo | I look up when I walk |
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni | So the tears won't fall |
Omoidasu haru no hi | Remembering those happy spring days |
Hitoribotchi no yoru | But tonight I'm all alone |
Ue o muite arukoo | I look up when I walk |
Nijinda hoshi o kazoete | Counting the stars with tearful eyes |
Omoidasu natsu no hi | Remembering those happy summer days |
Hitoribotchi no yoru | But tonight I'm all alone |
Shiawase wa kumo no ue ni | Happiness lies beyond the clouds |
Shiawase wa sora no ue ni | Happiness lies above the sky |
Ue o muite arukoo | I look up when I walk |
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni | So the tears won't fall |
Nakinagara aruku | Though my heart is filled with sorrow * |
Hitoribotchi no yoru | For tonight I'm all alone |
(whistling) | (whistling) |
Omoidasu aki no hi | Remembering those happy autumn days |
Hitoribotchi no yoru | But tonight I'm all alone |
Kanashimi wa hoshi no kage ni | Sadness hides in the shadow of the stars |
Kanashimi wa tsuki no kage ni | Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon |
Ue o muite arukoo | I look up when I walk |
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni | So the tears won't fall |
Nakinagara aruku | Though my heart is filled with sorrow * |
Hitoribotchi no yoru | For tonight I'm all alone |
(whistling) | (whistling) |
I still remember when I heard this song the first time, its just a pretty melody, not something you would think of for a sad song, but I decided to look up the lyrics last night, and share them with everyone.
