This is my cover of the amazing opening song from Shinya Shokudo (Midnight Diner) by Suzuki Tsunekichi (鈴木常吉). Memorising the lyrics took a looooong time, but I’ve wanted to do it ever since I first saw the show.

Lyrics:
*君が吐いた白い息が
今ゆっくり風に乗って
空に浮かぶ雲の中に
少しずつ消えてゆく
遠く高い空の中で
手を伸ばす白い雲
君が吐いた息を吸って
ぽっかりと浮かんでる
** ずっと昔のことのようだね
川面の上を雲が流れる
照り返す日差しを避けて
軒下に眠る犬
思い出もあの 空の中に
少しづつ消えてゆく
この空の向こう側には
もうひとつの青い空
誰もいない空の中に
ぽっかりと浮かぶ雲
(repeat **, *)
少しずつ消えてゆく
*Misty white breaths you exhale
Slowly blown by the wind now
Into the clouds in the sky
Gradually fading away
From up above the sky
White clouds reach down
To inhale your breaths
They continue to float away
**Seems just like the distant past
Clouds passing over a flowing river
Avoiding the sun’s reflection
Dogs sleep under the eaves
Memories too into the sky
Gradually, fading away
On the other side of the sky
Yet more blue space
In the emptiness of the sky
Clouds drifting by
(Repeat ** and *)
Gradually, fading away
