Sukiyaki:Kyo Sakimoto. #1 in USA in 1963. Bumped Lesly Gore's 'It's My Party,' out of top spot. (Yeah, I know it's different than what's on the lyrics sites. But this is from the first 1963 recording... and in my opinion, is still the best translation.) #1. (Capo up 7th fret for original.) I'll hold my head up high..looking to the sky, so they won't see all the tears that are in my eyes. No one will know, I'm going through, my first lonely night without you. #2. I know the night will hide, sadness I feel inside, no one will know of the smile, and my lips won't tell them. I'm losing you, and going through, my first lonely night without you. As I walk alone, the lonely winds seem to say, from this darkness on, all your nights will be this way. #3. So, I'll go on alone, pretending you're not gone. But I can hide all the moments of love we knew. Memories of you, as I go through, my first lonely night without you. REPEAT#3. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
