Sukiyaki Song - a tribute to Kyu Sakamoto

Details

Description

Learned this beautiful song (Ue o Muite Arukou) many years ago (back in the seventies) in Japan. Hope you enjoy my cover version of Kyu Sakamoto's famous Sukiyaki Song - despite the Aussie-English accent!

Brings back some wonderful memories of Japan, its people, its culture ... and many friends I have there to this day!

For those interested in the Japanese (Romaji) lyrics, here they are:

Sukiyaki Song (Ue O Muite Arukou)
Lyrics in Romaji Characters

Ue o muite arukou
Namida ga kobore naiyouni
Omoidasu harunohi
Hitoribotchi no yoru

Ue o muite arukou
Nijinda hosi o kazoete
Omoidasu natsunohi
Hitoribotchi no yoru

Shiawase wa kumo no ueni
Shiawase wa sora no ueni

Ue o muite arukou
Namida ga kobore naiyouni
Nakinagara aruku
Hitoribotchi no yoru

Omoidasu akinohi
Hitoribotchi no yoru

Kanashimi wa hosino kageni
Kanashimi wa tsukino kageni

Ue o muite arukou
Namida ga kobore naiyouni
Nakinagara aruku
Hitoribotchi no yoru
