くちなしの花 (Kuchinashi no Hana)

Please enjoy Teresa's performance of a Japanese original song "くちなしの花 (Kuchinashi no Hana)", meaning "The Flower of Gardenia", originally sung by 渡哲也 (Watari Tetsuya). 遠藤実 (Endou Minoru) composed this song, and 水木かおる (Mizuki Kaoru) wrote the lyrics.

Teresa's corresponding Chinese song is " 逍遥自在 Free And Unrestrained".

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

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

いまでは 指輪も まわるほど
Imadewa yubiwamo mawaruhodo
(It is rumored that you are now so emaciated)

やせてやつれた おまえの うわさ
Yasete yatsureta omaeno uwasa
(that the ring has become loose on your finger)

くちなしの 花の 花のかおりが
Kuchinashino hanano hanano kaoriga
(That fragrance of gardenia flower still follows me)

旅路のはてまで ついてくる
Tabijino hatemade tsuitekuru
(to the end of my journey)

くちなしの 白い花　おまえのような 花だった
Kuchinashino shiroi hana omaenoyouna hanadatta
(That white gardenia flower was just like you)


わがまま いっては 困らせた
Wagamama ittewa komaraseta　
(You were so difficult and acted like a baby)

子どもみたいな あの日の おまえ
Kodomomitaina anohino omae
(to annoy me on that date)

くちなしの 雨の 雨の別れが
Kuchinashino ameno ameno wakarega　
(I left you when the gardenia flower was in bloom)

いまでも 心をしめつける
Imademo kokorowo shimetsukeru
(That parting still aches my heart)

くちなしの白い花　おまえのような 花だった
Kuchinashino shiroi hana omaenoyouna hana datta
(That white gardenia flower was just like you)


小さな 幸せ それさえも
Chiisana shiawase soresaemo
(I have thrown away even my small happiness)

捨ててしまった 自分の手から
Suteteshimatta jibunno tekara
(from my hands)

くちなしの 花を 花を見るたび
Kuchinashino hanawo hanawo mirutabi　
(Whenever I look at a gardenia flower,)

淋しい笑顔が また浮かぶ
Samishii egaoga mata ukabu
(this reminds me of your sad smile)

くちなしの 白い花　おまえのような 花だった
Kuchinashino shiroi hana omaenoyouna hanadatta
(That white gardenia flower was just like you)

This is a Gardenia.  It only comes in white. The leaves are rich, glossy green. The buds spiral out out into the fragrant blossom which is the basis for many perfumes.

[Masami43A]

@sleepswithcats44 Yes, the title of this Japanese song is just this Gardenia.

[Camp200789]

Masami San, this beautiful song is slow and soft. Kuchinashi shiroi hana, is this flower only white in colour? Appreciate if you could let me know where to find the Japanese lyrics of this song unless you post it. Thanks.

[Masami43A]

Yes, the flowers are only white (please read the allanyip's description below).

Japanase lyrics are added to the description at the right side.

teresa of tengoku,

you are the loveliest flower ever, so fragrant when we smell; that only blooms once in a thousand year! sad to say we never met each other, now i'm asking to the most beautiful Goddess in heaven, can i shake your hand, give you a hug & please come to us once again? thanx to this video!

[esuperatchi585]

I think Masami San, you have noticed that are devoted fans of TT around the whole world,and many of then know few of japanese or chinese(or even english,like me - i beg your pardon), but this is no problem when we listen Teresa. She can reach us right in our souls,no need for words. For me TT is the greatest singer in the 20th century. Thank you A LOT for share all these beautifull

Teresa Enka songs.
