Sukiyaki Version
Sukiyaki with Lyrics ♥ Kyu Sakamoto (Ue O Muite Aruko)
The
charms of Sukiyaki,
The arms of Sukiyaki.
Are all I long for since I left old Nagasaki.
Why did I roam,
Far away from home.
I hope that she will wait for me.
sweet almond eyes don't leave me.
My whole life through I'll be true darling,
Please believe me.
That if I say,
I'll be back someday.
Promise that you will wait for me.
When
orange blossoms are starting to bloom,
we'll be united a bride and a groom.
I'll take my Sukiyaki,
And make my Sukiyaki,
The only queen to be seen in old Nagasaki.
And from our home,
we will never roam,
when i make Sukiyaki mine.
I know that she will wait for me.
When
orange blossums are starting to bloom,
We'll be united a bride and a groom.
I'll take my Sukiyaki,
And make my Sukiyaki,
The only queen to be seen in old Nagasaki.
And from our home,
We will never roam,
we will never roam,
When i make Sukiyaki mine.
The arms of Sukiyaki.
Are all I long for since I left old Nagasaki.
Why did I roam,
Far away from home.
I hope that she will wait for me.
sweet almond eyes don't leave me.
My whole life through I'll be true darling,
Please believe me.
That if I say,
I'll be back someday.
Promise that you will wait for me.
we'll be united a bride and a groom.
I'll take my Sukiyaki,
And make my Sukiyaki,
The only queen to be seen in old Nagasaki.
And from our home,
we will never roam,
when i make Sukiyaki mine.
I know that she will wait for me.
We'll be united a bride and a groom.
I'll take my Sukiyaki,
And make my Sukiyaki,
The only queen to be seen in old Nagasaki.
And from our home,
We will never roam,
we will never roam,
When i make Sukiyaki mine.

"Ue o Muite Arukō" (上を向いて歩こう?, "I Look Up As I Walk") is a Japanese-language song that was performed by Japanese crooner Kyu Sakamoto, and written by lyricist Rokusuke Ei and composer Hachidai Nakamura. Ei wrote the lyrics while walking home from a Japanese student demonstration protesting continued US Army presence, expressing his frustration at the failed efforts.[1]
In Anglophone countries, it is best known under the alternative title "Sukiyaki," a term with no relevance to the song's lyrics.
The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the United States in 1963, and remains to date the only Japanese-language song ever to have done so. In addition, it was and still is one of the few non-Indo-European languages' songs to have reached the top of the US charts.
It is one of the best-selling singles of all time, having sold over 13 million copies worldwide.[2][3] The original Kyu Sakamoto recording also went to number eighteen on the R&B chart.[4] In addition, the single spent five weeks at number one on the Middle of the Road charts.[5] The recording was originally released in Japan by Toshiba in 1961. It topped the Popular Music Selling Record chart in the Japanese magazine Music Life for three months, and was ranked as the number one song of 1961 in Japan.
Well-known English-language cover versions with altogether different lyrics include "My First Lonely Night" by Jewel Akens in 1966 and "Sukiyaki" by A Taste of Honey in 1980. The song has also been recorded in other languages.

Celtic Woman is an all-female Irish musical ensemble conceived and created by David Kavanagh, Sharon Browne[1][2] and David Downes, a former musical director of the Irish stage show Riverdance.[3][4] In 2004, he recruited five Irish female musicians who had not previously performed together: vocalists Chloë Agnew, Órla Fallon, Lisa Kelly and Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, and fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt, and shaped them into the first line-up of the group that he named "Celtic Woman." Downes chose a repertoire that ranged from traditional Celtic tunes to modern songs.
The group's line-up has changed over the years; in 2009, the group consisted of Chloë Agnew, Lynn Hilary, Lisa Kelly, Alex Sharpe and fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt; Alex Sharpe left the group in May 2010.[5] Eight albums have been released under the name "Celtic Woman:" Celtic Woman, Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration, Celtic Woman: A New Journey, Celtic Woman: The Greatest Journey, Celtic Woman: Songs from the Heart, Celtic Woman: Lullaby, Celtic Woman: Believe, Celtic Woman: Home for Christmas," "Celtic Woman: Emerald - Musical Gems. and Celtic Woman: Destiny. The group has undertaken a number of world tours. Cumulatively, albums by Celtic Woman have sold over 9 million records worldwide.[6]
The foundation for Celtic music's popularity outside Ireland and Europe was built by tapping into the success of artists such as Enya, Moya Brennan and Clannad, along with stage shows Riverdance and Lord of the Dance.Celtic Woman has been described as being "Riverdance for the voice."[7]
