mom what are doing hehee

[marukoshi1]

When I was younger I heard this song, and though I can't understand the meaning I began to love the song. I was inexperience then but I can feel the emotions of the singer.Now that I grew up and had experienced pain,I truly appreciate this song and after all the experience It so marvelous how we can express our deepest feeling through songs.Indeed,Japanese songs are really good.No wonder why I love it,longer than before I have a deeper understanding of the meaning of their song.

Beautiful arrangement of music with fantastic voice sang by mayumi itsuwa

[dreamsfollower]

This is the best and full english translation for this song:

My Dear Love / Koibito-yo

When autumn leaves fall at dusk, they foretell the cold that will come soon.

On the bench rotten by the rain, no one sits to sing and whisper love.

My love, I want you to be by my side 'cause I am freezing cold.

I want you to say with a laughter that your farewell is only just a joke.

There's a man jogging pass by on a gravel road.

He caused me to stand still and as though he wants me to forget.

[gctlcda]

@dreamsfollower Thx for posting this version. It's indeed smoother than most, and conveys the poetry and gentle setiments Mayumi tries to express in this pretty song.

[dreamsfollower]

Oh my love, saying good-bye

The seasons might keep on changing

But there was a time when we were like the shinning stars

And when the glow of the evening fades, dreams disappeared, hearts broken.

My love, I want you to be by my side 'cause I am freezing cold.

I want you to say with a laughter that your farewell is only just a joke.

[abahklia]

The real diva..i wonder what happen to her now...All the Japanese club staff and customer in Kuala Lumpur ,Malaysia in the 80's and 90's will never forget her and Teresa Teng..All the lounge like Birds nest,Yumi lounge,Studio 7,Kangaroo,Aoi lounge,Akane lounge,Royal Silver BonLounge,Subaru, Merlino Supper Club,Seven Avenue,Toppan,PaPagayo,Hana lounge,Munakata restaurant,Kobe Club,Victoria,Nihonkan,Cherrie Lounge,to name a few..

[abahklia]

anybody knows this Japanese song title..the chorus parts is something like this..." sayonara natsu nohi.." (male singer...ballad song )

[wldbkk]

[mikochang28]

Kono uta-o daisuki nan te.

Anybody knows a Japanese song in the 80"s that starts like this "Kamome-o naku na, nakeba sabishii sa ni......"? I used to sing this but forgot the Title. Anyone? Onegashimasu. Domo arigato.

kono uta wo kikuto kokoro ga kanashiku narimashita. demo totemo ii uta desune

[takeshikaneshi]

when i heard this song, this powerful voice reminded me of the song Ribaibaru which i didn't remember the singer's name. never thought they were sang by the same singer. the more i listen to her songs, the more i fell in love with her voice! <3

[ftow1313]

After so many years still touch by her voice & her songs, just simply Lovely!

[ngocquang19877]

It's weird. I see 8 words to describe: with laugh in Japanese. Japanese must laugh very hard.

[lorna0326]

love this song....

[yhlore]

Just beautiful

[threycia08]

feel so touching into the heart,,, I love this song, it make me cry,,, I love it,,,,

[gctlcda]

Bravo, Mayumi! What a heartrending performance!! No wonder this song became No. 1 in Japan and many parts of Asia.

Thx v much for sharing this sad, but wonderful and memorable song w/ us!

[drgothmania]

I've heard this song since very small. My father often said it was Sayoonara, so for a long period of time before knowing its true name, I thought it's named Goodbye. Whatever its title is, the song is powerfully touching and spectacularly inspiring.

[inaz1992]

I am a Malaysian...already 22 years and i still remember this song

[AtikahAziz]

@inaz1992 me too.. :)

[TheCherrien]

oh..my god......is tis so beautyful song....i love it.

[shamusoz]

Even my cat cries when he listens to this song

[81dungnghien]

很好听

[hafizhgituloh1]

i love this song

[Kibouo]

I would translate the final verse differently with more natural English - More like "My lover, stand by my side, come by my side, Just tell me one thing, This talk of parting ways...I want you to laugh and tell me that it's all a joke..."

Also unlike Japanese, in English Seasons 'pass by' rather than 'rotate'

[dcharle2743]

I am a malysian indian and love to listen to this song everyday beautiful song wish i can sing in japenese

[titochit]

the first time i heard this song its my first time in japan. even though i don't understand the meaning of the song. i love this song

[scarynoudlechubby]

LOL, the discription reminds me of the day when I overslept and forgot to pick up my girlfriend (now wife) while she waited for me in the cold snow. Sorry babe if you reading this.

[Loewenbaby07]

[maggie8069]

Awesome!

[bobos07]

A very powerful song. Translation is a bit weird tho... takes away the true emotion of the song. Need to understand Jap to really feel it =)

[TheClassicalist]

@bobos07 don't know about you, but i feel the despair in the music already

[gctlcda]

@bobos07 Translating Jp into English is quite difficult, because of differences in both the language as well as the emotions expressed, which are often subtle and w/ images full of cultural connotations in Jp. But do agree that the translation is awkward.

I know you will listen this Song, that I wish you will more undertand me, i dont know why you change your heart to me :(

[MDIS]

Truly a great song and i remember hearing it in the 1990's. When it was 1992 or 1995 , i remember my older cousin playing a cassette of this song in Malaysia.

I thought it was in Bahasa Melayu from the country of Malaysia , as at that time , Malaysia had many ballad and rock ballad bands that would frequently churn out sad and love songs about getting together and some about breaking up.

I truly respect her and the song.

A wonderful piece indeed.

[jjt814]

i like it this

[designerom]

love this song so so much. i want to get the video & karaoke of this song. anyone knows where i can purchase this. tks

[vietboy482]

[tasyriq23]

i almost cry when i know the lyrics so powerful!. this what i like the most about japanese artist, they make their own lyrics if they want to become singer. yuki, utada, sayaka, mr.children, mayumi, ayumi, etc every one of them make their own lyric

This was 'our song' with an ex-girlfriend. Though neither of us are Japanese it oozed the pain we felt as we realised our time together was limited by prior promises. Sadder still for her the person who stood between us broke his promise after I'd moved on.

[chunxia62]

Thank your for posting this beautiful song in Romaji and English. When I was living in Japan almost 20 years ago, this song was one of my most favorite Japanese song. だいすき！

[flyindance112]

I like Japanese song. I knew this song when I was a very very young litter girl (my grandpa knows and always sang it)...

Now with the English Sub...

I know the meaning. Thanks for sharing.

That's a very sad song.

Touched!

I am so much inspired of Japanese songs without understanding of its meaning. In the fact that I really appretiate for those who help us translation into english. Despite the language barrier, JP songs are so powerful to express emotion and its feeling.
