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)
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)

Now C, that song was my time. We were all listening and singing it then without knowing what the words meant.

Yea in the english version the lyrics were totally made up. still a sweet song though. I think the phrases " I look up when I walk so the tears don't fall " have a lot of meaning right now in these times for Japan.

The English came much later. The original Japanese version became the top 40. Only found out much later that it was a very sad song.

Now, I think TSG should consider giving senior discount just like movie tickets, bus and subway fares.tsg_smilie_laugh.gif

When I read the thread topic, the first thing that came to mind was "I thought you are talking about food, beef sukiyaki". By the way, that's a sweet and sentimental song. I like the Japanese version because of its originality in the first place. Are they dedicated to single individuals out there?
