[Man] Oh my love, I’m starting a trip on a train headed east In the brilliant city, I plan to search, search for a gift for you [Woman] No, dear, there’s nothing that I want Just don’t come home dyed in city colors dyed in city colors [Man] Oh my love, after half a year Don’t cry because we can’t see each other I’ll send you a ring that’s fashionable in town right now It should suit you, suit you [Woman] No, I’m sure neither diamonds of stars nor pearls sleeping in the sea should sparkle, should sparkle as much as your kiss [Man] Oh my love, even now is your face unpainted, without even any lipstick? Look at this photograph, photograph of me dressed in a suit that almost makes me look like someone else [Woman] No – I’ll throw myself down on the grass I loved you so But the cold wintry wind of the business district puts spirit into your body, doesn’t it? puts spirit into your body, doesn’t it? [Man] Oh my love, please forgive me for changing and forgetting you Every day I happily spend time on street corners I, I’m not coming home [Woman] Dear, a last selfishness I’m asking for a gift-- Can I have a cotton handkerchief to wipe my tears, please to wipe my tears, please |

Song info: Japanese classic from the 60's, originally sung by Hiromi Oota
Notes: Ringo sings the man's part (ha ha), while Nao Matsuzaki sings the woman's, though the original version of this song is not a duet. (Man's and woman's part demarcations added by me.)
