Sukiyaki (上を向いて歩こう) (v5)
A carefree yéyé 1960s groove pulses through tremolo surf guitar, upright bass, and lo-fi brushed snare, tinged with noir. Triple harmonies layer the same male voice in three languages. Retro strings swell, a surf guitar/violin bridge duet shines, and lush vintage orchestration with nostalgic tape hiss closes the track.

Lyrics
Verse 1
上を向いて歩こう
涙がこぼれないように
思い出す 春の日
一人ぼっちの夜
Verse 2
Mon cœur s'est laissé prendre
là, dans l'herbe tendre
Où nous rêvions tous les deux
Sous la lune pâle
But you disappeared
Now my eyes are filled with tears
I'm wishin' you were here with me
Chorus
幸せは雲の上に
幸せは空の上に
Verse 3
上を向いて歩こう
涙がこぼれないように
泣きながら歩く
'Cause you took your love away from me
Interlude
[Verse 4
思い出す 秋の日
一人ぼっちの夜
悲しみは星の影に
The sun would shine
And once again you'll be mine all mine
Outro
Où toutes les étoiles
Et la lune pâle
Donnèrent un bal, un grand bal
Avec les cigales
Pour deux enfants, qui s'embrassaient
You took your love away from me
