Umashi sake wa kuchi yori irite (Tasty sake comes from mouth) Umashi koi wa me yori itaruto (Tasty love comes from eyes) korezo kore, konoyono makoto (This is it, truth of this world) warera oite yagate shisutomo (Even if we get old and die someday) sonomaeni (before that) iza waga kuchini sakazuki wo (Let’s bring sake cup to my mouth) iza waga meni kimi wo, sono iki wo (Let’s bring you into my eyesight, and also your breath) Kanpai (Cheers)
Thank you for your gentle picking up this beautiful Japanese tune, which made me a Japanese man happy.
Wow this is so great
This just goes to show that a good choir can make any silly song sound fantastic.
