そっとおやすみ (Sotto Oyasumi)

720P　のセッティングでご覧下さい。

Please enjoy Teresa's performance of a Japanese song "そっとおやすみ (Sotto Oyasumi)", meaning "I wish you a soft good night", originally sung by 布施明 (Fuse Akira). クニ河内 (Kuni Kawauchi) composed the song and also wrote the lyrics.

The following are the Japanese lyrics and Romaji, with my English translation in parentheses.

化粧の後の かがみの前で
Keshou no ato no kagami no mae de
(In front of the mirror after makeup)

いつも貴方の 手を借りた
Itsumo anata no te wo kari ta
(I used to ask for your help)

背中のボタンが とめにくい
Senaka no botan (button) ga tomenikui
(to fasten difficult buttons at my back)

一人ぼっちの部屋で
Hitori bocchino heya de
(In the lonely room now in your absence)

今は居ない貴方に
Ima wa inai anata ni
(I wish you)

そっとそっと おやすみなさい
Sotto sotto oyasuminasai
(A soft good night)


もう陽にやけた タタミのにおい
Mou hini yaketa tatami no nioi
(Smell of the sun-dried Tatami (mat))

白いフスマに 傷ついた
Shiroi fusuma ni kizu tsuita
(Scratch of the white sliding screen)

けんかの名残りも 悲しそう
Kenka no nagori mo kanashi sou
(Reminder of our quarrel looks sad)

一人ぼっちの部屋で
Hitori bocchino heya de
(In the lonely room now in your absence)

今は居ない貴方に
Ima wa inai anata ni
(I wish you)

そっとそっと おやすみなさい
Sotto sotto oyasuminasai
(A soft good night)


別れの夜の 涙のしずく
Wakare no yoru no namida no shizuku
(Tears drop at the night of parting)

星も流れて 散ってゆく
Hoshi mo nagarete chitte yuku
(Stars are also flying and dispersing)

今夜のベッドも 冷たそう
Konya no beddo (bed) mo tsumeta sou
(The bed tonight looks so cold agin)

一人ぼっちの部屋で
Hitori bocchino heya de
(In the lonely room now in your absence)

今は居ない貴方に
Ima wa inai anata ni
(I wish you)

そっとそっと おやすみなさい
Sotto sotto oyasuminasai
(A soft good night)

おやすみなさい
Oyasuminasai
(Good night)

Masami, do you know if there's a Chinese rendition to this song by Teresa?

@1dajiang

I am afraid that there may not be a Chinese version of this song.

Ahhh I love, love, LOVE this song!! To hear Teresa sing it makes it extra special, no?

Thank you for your always encouraging comment, Maki

We are now still in hot summer days this year. The abnormally hot days will last for another couple of weeks before autumn.

This song just like its name, soft and tender and warm. Thanks masami-san!

[1dajiang]

I can't resist this voice. It's the nicest there is.

[gctlcda]

Masami-san: So, you did upload this lovely song after all! Was surprised that you let JamesTan beat you to it. :-)

It's such a sweet, gentle, lovely song - completely in line w/ Teresa's personality! Maybe that's why her rendition is (again) superior to the others! [As an example, TT sings the word "sotto" gently and sweetly, whereas some singers would bark it out. Not quite right when you are saying "Good night" to others.] :-)

Anyway, like your presentation, too.

Happy New Year!!
