OSAKA BAY BLUES, (KANASHII IRO YANE)The Sea in Osaka Has a Sad Color, Doesn't it / MASAKI UEDA Single released in Japan on October 21, 1982 Lyrics: KANG CHIN FA, Music Composed by TETSUJI HAYASHI, Arranged by KATTZ HOSHI ( English translation of Rough meaning of Japanese lyrics) Leaning against a car parked on a harbor pier, We're both looking at the blinking lights of the city Don't cry, don't cry, it'll only make us both sad Hold me tight, Osaka Bay Blues You ask me if I'm still in love with you Hold me tight If you don't even ask me that, you don't know how I feel anymore The sea in Osaka seems to have a sad color That's because everyone comes here to say goodbye You were the kind of man who could only dream But I couldn't hate you even once I knew I couldn't run away from reality I had to bite my lip and hold it back Hold me tight, Osaka Bay Blues In this city many rivers flow to the sea And many people's lost loves and dreams are washed into this sea Hold me tight, Osaka Bay Blues Though our love will end by the end of today Hold me tight You were the one and only thing of my youth for me Hold me tight, Osaka Bay Blues Today is the end of our love Hold me tight You were my one and only thing of my youth Hold me tight, oh, Osaka Bay Blues
