LYRICS:
The sun will rise and we’ll bid farewell to forever
All our happiness will only be a dream
Oh darling won't you stay with me
Cause all these seasons aren't the same without you
In the darkest times you’d always light the way
So darling won’t you stay
Flowers start to dance
Welcoming the spring time
The fields, endless
The summer’s bringing on the sunshine
Dazzling moonlight
Just wishing you were here this autumn night
Should winter arrive
I’ll still be waiting for a sign
I find myself going back in time when I close my eyes
I see us watching the skies
Reminiscing about what we had, us holding hands
While I sang you sweet lullabies
(Oh so sweet)
But now the summer is gone
And it’s hard to move on
Cause now I'm on my own
All these old memories
Coming back to me
I'm thinking there's got to be a way
So I'm heading on out
(Off to find my way to you)
No, I won't mess around
(Swear that I will see this through)
The sun will rise and we’ll bid farewell to forever
All our happiness will only be a dream
Oh darling won't you stay with me?
Cause all these seasons aren't the same without you
In the darkest times you’d always light the way
So darling won’t you stay
Flowers start to dance
Welcoming the spring time
The fields, endless
The summer’s bringing on the sunshine
Dazzling moonlight
Just wishing you were here this autumn night
Should winter arrive
I’ll still be waiting for a sign
It’s seven on the dot
Here we are, living free
I wish tonight would go on for eternity
Will we ever meet again?
Tell me that it ain’t the end
My tears start to flow
Oh baby, please don’t go
But now it’s all becoming clear to me
That if we’re truly even meant to be
Our love won’t fade
And I will break free from all this pain
Tearing down all the walls like a mighty hurricane
It’s clear to me
That if we’re truly even meant to be
Our love won’t fade
And I will break free from all this pain
Tearing down all the walls like a mighty hurricane
Flowers start to dance
Welcoming the spring time
The fields, endless
The summer’s bringing on the sunshine
Dazzling moonlight
Just wishing you were here this autumn night
Should winter arrive
I’ll still be waiting for a sign
Baby, let’s dance
All throughout the spring time
Fields are endless
The summer’s bringing on the sunshine
Dazzling moonlight
Just wishing you were here this autumn night
Should winter arrive
I’ll still be waiting for a sign
The sun will rise and we’ll bid farewell to forever
All our happiness will only be a dream
Oh darling won't you stay with me?
‘Cause all these seasons aren't the same without you
In the darkest times you’d always light the way
So darling won’t you stay

[@danielmiller2357]

Im no otaku, and dont know Japanese to begin with, but i usually don't listen to English covers for long, its like listening to Spanish covers of System of a Down for instance.. Not to mention, they're usually dramatized (echo, auto tune, jazzed up and essentially forced for better flow), and is usually just difficult to do, though I always respect the attempt. As for this, I came here expecting the original, when I started hearing English I actually had two reactions. One split moment was "oops, let's get the real one, no wonder the instrument was different", but 2 words into the song, my reaction changed to "hmm, this sounds pretty good." Next thing I know, I listened through the whole song... outstanding cover! Easy the best I've heard.

[@danielmiller2357]

My opinion changed... I investigated more covers, and Sapphire's version of Real Folk Blues was a flawless fit with the original counterpart. Im honored to be able to subscribe.

[@24klassics]

I don't expect anyone to read this, but whatever. I really love this song. But the memorabilia it gives me is something I'd rather not recall. More than just memories. A factual reality, and I hate it. Imagine listening to this song as the man she's singing these lyrics about. To be reminded of all those hearts you've unintentionally "stolen" whether or not that was in your favor, told of how now they can't even begin to carve you out of their existence despite how hard they've tried -- let alone those who didn't, and instead give chase. And I can't help but feel as if I'm a scourge to be reckoned with. Some sort of emotional plague culminated for the sole intention of bringing ruin to all those longing for love in a man like myself. Makes me nauseous. So much so, as if urging to vomit my sins of being who I am in that regard. That's why I love this song. Keeps me in check.

I wouldn't say that, actually this song is bad for break ups, now when u think about it /:

[@PersonaofWill]

Be strong knuckles you get a better woman

[@JBX07]

This really sounds like something from the soundtrack of Persona 4 The Golden, maybe I'm getting confused.

[@fistoftheworldking3834]

Considering Persona 4 released about a decade after Samurai Champloo, you're confused about something, yeah. I'm a fan of both.

[@Stalaktik]

Really?

[@fistoftheworldking3834]

I can verify it. I saw Fist of the World King​​ brandish merchandise from both series. Ha, such a loser, buying things.

[@dabmaster-cu5qj]

persona 4 came out 4 years after samurai champloo, and golden came out 8 years after

[@corasundae]

I was thinking this cover in particular sounds like it could be from Persona, both the genre and her voice.

[@ghilesbardi]

So beautiful , great work *.*

[@pckbread7543]

Someone needs to put this on the brotet instrumental yesterday

[@JiraiyaSanninPervySage]

I'm already addicted to the original and now I'm addicted to your cover. :O

[@senhoramarocas.5285]

You're not the only one, fella. These two are AMAZING songs!

[@CosmicTron]

This is legit epic, legendary written all over this. Great cover for American version.

[@jasonroman578]

Wow already fell in love with this song in Japanese....... now I’m hearing it in English!!!!! Ohhhhh how God loves his children because he blesses us with music like this

[@JoieDeVivre35]

Used to play this song after a great night of partying and not wanting the good times to end. Five years later the ones I used to party with all went their separate ways but the memories are timeless. The sun will rise and we'll bid farewell to forever...

[@xXneonXxsavage]

Your voice is awesome

[@Hastur805]

This song gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it.

[@LaMishiMish]

Can I please please please have your cover of GIRL by Daoko? ;0;

[@drabone209]

I love BOTH VERSIONS 💪💪💪💯😎😁😤

[@TheSuperMerc]

I got he notifcation on my phone that you uploaded this and immediately had to listen. Simply amazing. Keep shining on, dood

[@sana__6]

+TheSuperMerc same such a shame that the original was blocked though, at least for people in the US like me

[@n0time2spare]

Absolutely insane how well this was executed. So glad I found it.

[@DeltaCain13]

The Samurai who smells of *strawberries*.

[@blkgrlwrld]

I’m here for 3 reasons: Sapphire, Samurai Champloo and Nujabes ❤️

[@mendelevium2768]

Sapphire is so cool

[@fuzzypillow4353]

I just love this cover can I make a lyric video using your cover and of course I will give you credits and insert the link to the song????

[@9cookie2monster]

[@reka10]

This is better than Minmi's english version. The voice is smoother.

[@OperatorVanta]

T-this is beautiful, shame Nujabes is dead, R.I.P Nujabes

[@senhoramarocas.5285]

R.I.P.

[@drabone209]

Baby LET'S DANCE ALL THRU THE SPRING TIME 😎

[@jrjhanson]

WOW! Just stumbled upon this today (Aug 1st 2019) and it took me back almost 15 years to when I used to watch this show on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. Phenomenal job with the cover, Sapphire!
