Pink Martini - Kikuchiyo To Mohshimasu Lyrics

Anyone else who is reminded of "The Tale of the Princess Kaguya" OST? I find both lovely and quite haunting at the same time

Hermosisima musica!

Oh my god❤ So beautiful melody!!!

Σάννυ Kitty *Such beautiful melody. 😉

love this song..even though I do not know what it says....can someone please write the lyrics to it, and possible the translation too.....thank you kindly

In Japanese, the lyrics are as follows:
Kikuchiyo to mohshimasu
Shiroi unaji ni yurete ita
Naito kurabu no aoi hi yo
Daite odoreba yasashii kata ga
Nazeka kanshiku, nazeka kanashiku
Furueteta... furueteta

Kono mamade itsu made mo
Futari sugoshita Akasaka no
Kiri no, hoteru no, koi no yoru
Moeta anata no itoshi hoho ga
Itsuka sahishiku, itsuka sabishiku
Nureteita....nureteita

Kikuchiyo to mohshimasu
Minna wasurete hoshii no to
Tatto hito yo de kieta hito
Amaku setsunai utsuriga dake o
Sotto nokoshiite, sotto nokoshiite
Kiri no naka ... kiri no naka

Kikochiyo to mohshimasu

The English is a rough approximation, I've heard, but goes something like this:
Her name was Kikuchiyo
Across the nape of her porcelain-like neck
The night-club's blue light swayed
I held her as we danced
I felt her gentle shoulders tremble
Why this sadness… why this sadness?

I wish it could have gone on forever
Together passing time in Akasaka
In a hotel on that misty night
We spent the night in passion
And then… the blush in her tender cheeks
Turned to tears… lonely tears

Her name was Kikuchiyo
Telling me to forget everything
Our only night together
She vanished
Leaving only her sweet scent lingering softly
In the fog… in the fog

Her name was Kikuchiyo

I never knew Pink Martini sang in Japanese too <3333 I wish they had more japanese tracks

+Leonardo DaVinci Have a look/listen to their album "1969 (Pink Martini and Saori Yuki)'' released in 2011. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised
