Koko Ni Sachi Ari (Here Is Happiness)

[jjsdad]

Here's an old japanese song on the ukulele:

I'm still not good enough to play it perfect in one take, so pardon the errors. What I was intending to play is here:

 Japanese:
 
 Arashi mo fukeba ame mo furu
 Onna no michi yo naze kewashi
 Kimi yo tayori ni watashi wa ikiru
 Koko ni sachi ari aoi sora.
 
 English:
 
 Stormy winds of life may blow,
 and even rain may fall.
 Though the clouds are dark above
 life will be bright for me.
 I live for you only,
 I live because we have loved.
 Koko ni sachi ari,
 Beyond the blue, blue sky.

The English translation comes from a collection of ukulele songs that someone gave me back in high school. I have no idea where it comes from and if the the translation is correct or not.

Here's the other verses in Japanese and English . . .

Arashi mo fu-ke-ba a-me mo fu-ru
On-na no mi-chi-yo naze ke-wa-shi
Ki-mi o ta-yo-ri-ni watashi wa i-ki-ru
Koko ni sachi ari a-oi so-ra


Dare-ni mo i-e-nu tsu-me no a-to
Kokoro ni u-ke-ta ko-i no to-ri
Na-i-te ne-ga re-te sa-ma-yo-i yu-ke-ba
Yoru no chima-ta no kaze kanashi


Ino-chi no ka-giri yo-bi-ka-ke-ru
Ko-da-ma no na-te ni matsu wa dare
Kimi yo Yori so –I aja-ru-ku a-o-gu
Koko ni sachi ari shiro-i ku-mo


Here, oh here is happiness
Where I can be close to you
In the warmth of your caress
I’m happy dear, with you
Please say that you’ll never leave me
I know that would break my heart
I want to be near you always
For here, oh here is happiness

Thanks Russ! No, I have not gotten around to getting the mini amp. I played this one thru my son's VOX DA5.

Thanks Kanaka916 for posting this. Do you know which verse translates to the english verse?

 

[Kanaka916]

Sorry Jeremy, I don't. I got that song from one of the local boys when I was stationed in the ROK. BTW, did you see the thread about the get together on the 20th? I think FHS72 PM'd you about it.
