Original Lyrics*
Ue wo muite arukou
(I'll walk with my head tilted back)
Namida na kobore nai yoni
(to keep the tears from falling from my eyes)
Omoidasu haru no hi hitori bocchi no yoru
(And on lonely nights, I think back on those spring days)

Ue wo muite arukou
(I'll walk with my head tilted back)
Nijinda hoshio kazoete
(Counting the stars that were blurred by tears)
Omoidasu natsu no hi hitori bocchi no yoru
(And on lonely nights, I think back on those summer days)

Shiawase wa kumono ue ni
(Happiness is up above the clouds)
Shiawase wa sorano ue ni
(Happiness is up above the sky)

Ue wo muite arukou
(I'll walk with my head tilted back)
Namida na kobore nai yo ni
(to keep the tears from falling from my eyes)
Nakinagara aruku hitori bocchi no yoru
(and on lonely nights, I walk while crying)

(whistle)

Omoidasu aki no hi hitori bocchi no yoru
(On lonely nights, I think back on those fall days

Kanashimi wa hoshi no kage ni
(Sadness lies in the shadows of the stars)
Kanashimi wa tsuki no kage ni
(Sadness lies in the shadows of the moon)

Ue wo muite arukou
(I'll walk with my head tilted back)
Namida na koborenai you ni
(to keep the tears from falling from my eyes)
Nakinagara aruku hitori bocchi no yoru
(and on lonely nights, I walk while crying)

Hitori bocchi no yoru
(I spend my nights all alone)

Hitori bocchi no yoru
(I spend my nights all alone)

(whistle)
