Nagori Yuki (nagori - be sorry to part from) (yuki - snow)

Petang tu. Aidit Alfian minum teh o ais laici.

"Aku tak tahu tajuk lagu tu," kata aku, "maka, ketika hendak membeli CDnya... terpaksalah aku menyanyikan lagu itu di kaunter kedai kaset!"

Buah laici hampir tersembur keluar dari mulut Aidit Alfian. Kami mengekek-ngekek, kemudian.

KOMA

Dulu-dulu. Tak ada Blogspot. Tak ada Youtube. Tak ada Facebook. Makanya, kami menonton TV sahajalah.

Pada suatu hari. Dalam TV. Ada satu amoi Jepun sudah menyanyi sambil memetik gitar.

Esoknya. Aku ajak Samsuru (Syamsul). Pergi beli CD tu di kedai kaset. Yang terletak tidak jauh dari kediaman kami. Di Ikebukuro.

"Sumimasen!" kata aku, [yang selebihnya adalah dialog perbualan ala-ala budak Melayu baru belajar di tadika Jepun, ha ha.]

"Ahh! Iruka da neh!" kata tauke Jepun tu.

Malamnya. Kami asyiklah dok nyanyi, "Kyonen yori zutto, kirei ni natta, kyonen yori zutto, kirei ni natta... (repeat till fade)" Ya, macamlah esok pagi kami tak ada kelas! *ahaks*






This original song was written by Mr. Ise Shouzou (He used to be a member of KAGUYAHIME) At first, KAGUYAHIME sang this song in Album. And then IRUKA released cover version. As a result, IRUKA version is more popular and famous than original in Japan.

Iruka's real name is Kanbe Toshie. She is responsible for a number of well known and popular Japanese folk songs, the most popular of which is argueably "nagori yuki (1975)". (Iruka means "Dolphin" in Japanese). Ya, muka dia macam ikan lumba-lumba.

Nagori Yuki sung by KOU1ROU

[Jom Karaoke]
Kisha o matsu kimi no yoko de boku wa
Tokei o ki ni shite 'ru
Kisetsu hazure no yuki ga futte 'ru
Tokyo de miru yuki wa kore ga saigo ne to
Samishisou ni kimi wa tsubuyaku
Nagori yuki mo furu toki o shiri
Fuzake sugita kisetsu no ato de
Ima haru ga kite kimi wa kirei ni natta
Kyonen yori zutto kirei ni natta

Ugoki hajimete kisha no mado ni
Kao o tsukete
Kimi wa nani ka iou toshite 'ru
Kimi no kuchibiru ga sayounara to ugoku koto ga

Otona ni naru to kizukanai mama
Ima haru ga kite kimi wa kirei ni natta
Kyonen yori zutto kirei ni natta

Kyonen yori zutto kirei ni natta
Kyonen yori zutto kirei ni natta
Kyonen yori zutto kirei ni natta

[Translation]
I'm next to you, who is waiting for the train to come
Looking down at my watch
Snow is falling at the end of the season
We see snow falling in Tokyo, and you whisper
"This is the last of it", in a lonely way
I know that it's time for traces of snow to fall
After the season in which we had too much fun
Now spring is coming, and you've become beautiful
You're definitely more beautiful than the year before

Looking out the window of the train that's started to move
You were trying to say something to me
Scared that your lips were forming the words "goodbye"
I kept my head down
Now that the time has come, I'm still oblivious
To the fact that you who were so young, has now grown up
Now spring is coming, and you've become beautiful
You're definitely more beautiful than the year before

Still on the platform that you left on
I stayed and watched the snow that fell and dissolved away
Now spring is coming, and you've become beautiful
You're definitely more beautiful than the year before
