ララバイ東京 (Lullaby Tokyo)

Please enjoy Teresa's performance of a Japanese song "ララバイ東京 (Lullaby Tokyo)". This song was originally sung by 田辺靖雄 (Tanabe Yasuo), or 布施明 (Fuse Akira). 平尾昌晃 (Hirao Masaaki) composed and 渡辺茂樹 (Watanabe Shigeki) arranged the song, respectively. 山口あかり (Yamaguchi Akari) wrote the lyrics.

I thank ellisoninwonderland very much who has permitted me to use the sound of his corresponding video.

The following are the Japanese lyrics, with my English translation.

恋人よ どうして泣くの
Koibito yo doushite nakuno
(My sweetheart, why are you weeping)

おまえのそばに 僕がいるのに
Omae no sobani boku ga irunoni
(although I am with you?)

接吻で涙を ふいてあげよう
Kuchizuke de namida wo fuite ageyou
(Let me wipe your tears with my kiss)

だから安らかにおやすみ
Dakara yasurakani oyasumi
(So, please sleep quietly)

星くずも もうすぐ眠る
Hoshikuzu mo mousugu nemuru
(Stardust will soon go sleeping)

ララバイ ララバイ東京
Lullaby Lullaby Tokyo
(Lullary, Lullaby Tokyo)


恋人よ 悲しみは忘れ
Koibito yo kanashimi wa wasure
(My sweetheart, please forget about grief)

無邪気なままで 甘えておくれ
Mujakina mamade amaete okure
(and behave innocently)

眠りにつくまで そばにいるから
Nemuri ni tsukumade sobani irukara
(I will be at your side until you fall asleep)

そつとこの腕でおやすみ
Sotto kono ude de oyasumi
(Rest on my arms quietly)

花びらも もうすぐ眠る
Hanabira mo mousugu nemuru
(Flower petals will also go sleeping soon)

ララバイ ララバイ東京
Lullaby Lullaby Tokyo
(Lullaby Lullaby Tokyo)



おまえのために 唄ってあげよう
Omae no temeni utatte ageyou
(I will sing a song for you)

いつも微笑んでおやすみ
Itsumo hohoende oyasumi
(Please sleep always with a smile)

街の灯も もうすぐ眠る
Machi no hi mo mousugu nemuru
(Town lights will also go sleeping soon)

ララバイ ララバイ東京
Lullaby Lullaby Tokyo
(Lullaby, Lullaby Tokyo)

I love this song, Masami-san. Bossanova and Enka combine. That's my own thinking!

My wife Kyoko's parents and younger sister's family is living with me now in California because of the earthquake. Thank you for your kind comments about the earthquake and for playing Teresa's music. Goshinsetsu ni kansha shimasu.

Beautiful scenery of Tokyo. The bridge is very pretty, esp. at night.

Teresa's voice is just the one for lullaby - very soothing.

[g2kdlj]

May the Japanese people, very soon, will be able to sleep with a smile and without worries.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Masami-san for making and sharing this wonderful video, I have the same feelings with you especially thinking of this song when I heard of the disasters in Japan. Let's pray for the suffering people.

This is one of my favorite songs of Teresa Teng, I love her voice and those blues arrangements.
