日本の歌(5)



From the Newspaper:
KYU SAKAMOTO (Capitol)
HOME TOWN: Kawasaki, Japan. AGE: 22 BACKGROUND: Kyu (pronounced "Q") has been a big star in Japan for almost four years, racking up eight best selling albums and 15 hit singles in that time, as well as acting in movies and television appearances. When Washington state disk jockey Rich Osborne (KORD) played a track from a Toshiba LP for his audience recently, entitled "Ue O Mui Te Aruko" the response was so favourable that the disk was soon one of the most popular in Washington State. Capitol Records, the U.S. associate of Toshiba decided to release it in this country, but changed the name to "Sukiyaki."


The Lyrics:
I'll look up while I'm walking
Ue wo muite arukou
上を向いて歩こう

So the tears don't fall from my eyes
Namida ga koborenai youni
涙がこぼれないように

I think back to spring days
Omoidasu haru no hi
思い出す春の日

It's a lonely night
Hitoribocchi no yoru
一人ぼっちの夜

I'll look up while I'm walking
Ue wo muite arukou
上を向いて歩こう

And count the scattered stars
Nijinda hoshi wo kazoete
にじんだ星をかぞえて

I think back to summer days
Omoidasu natsu no hi
思い出す夏の日

It's a lonely night
Hitoribocchi no yoru
一人ぼっちの夜

Happiness is above the clouds
Shiawase wa kumo no ue ni
幸せは雲の上に

Happiness is above the sky
Shiawase wa sora no ue ni
幸せは空の上に

I'll look up while I'm walking
Ue wo muite arukou
上を向いて歩こう

So the tears don't fall from my eyes
Namida ga koborenai youni
涙がこぼれないように

Even while I cry I walk on
Naki nagara aruku
泣きながら歩く

It's a lonely night
Hitoribocchi no yoru
一人ぼっちの夜

Sadness is in the light of the stars
Kanashimi wa hoshi no kage ni
悲しみは星の影に

Sadness is in the light of the moon
Kanashimi wa tsuki no kage ni
悲しみは月の影に

I'll look up while I'm walking
Ue wo muite arukou
上を向いて歩こう

So the tears don't fall from my eyes
Namida ga koborenai youni
涙がこぼれないように

Even while I cry I walk on
Naki nagara aruku
泣きながら歩く

It's a lonely night
Hitoribocchi no yoru
一人ぼっちの夜

It's a lonely night
Hitoribocchi no yoru
一人ぼっちの夜
