Rokusuke Ei

Lyricist, best known for "Sukiyaki" -- via the BBC.



Ue o muite arukou (I look up when I walk)
Namida ga kobore naiyouni (So the tears won't fall) 
Omoidasu harunohi (Remembering those happy spring days)
Hitoribotchi no yoru (But tonight I'm all alone)
Ue o muite arukou (I look up when I walk)
Nijinda hosi o kazoete (Counting the stars with tearful eyes)
Omoidasu natsunohi (Remembering those happy summer days)
Hitoribotchi no yoru (But tonight I'm all alone)
Shiawase wa kumo no ueni (Happiness lies beyond the clouds)
Shiawase wa sora no ueni (Happiness lies above the sky)
Ue o muite arukou (I look up when I walk)
Namida ga kobore naiyouni (So the tears won't fall)
Nakinagara aruku (Though my heart is filled with sorrow)
Hitoribotchi no yoru (But tonight I'm all alone)
(whistling) 
Omoidasu akinohi (Remembering those happy autumn days)
Hitoribotchi no yoru (But tonight I'm all alone)
Kanashimi wa hosino kageni (Sadness hides in the shadow of the stars)
Kanashimi wa tsukino kageni (Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon)
Ue o muite arukou (I look up when I walk)
Namida ga kobore naiyouni (So the tears won't fall) 
Nakinagara aruku (Though my heart is filled with sorrow)
Hitoribotchi no yoru (But tonight I'm all alone)
