Ue o muite arukoo 
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni 
Omoidasu haru no hi 
Hitoribotchi no yoru

Ue o muite arukoo 
Nijinda hoshi o kazoete 
Omoidasu natsu no hi 
Hitoribotchi no yoru

Shiawase wa kumo no ue ni 
Shiawase wa sora no ue ni

Ue o muite arukoo 
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni 
Nakinagara aruku 
Hitoribotchi no yoru

Omoidasu aki no hi 
Hitoribotchi no yoru But tonight 
Kanashimi wa hoshi no kage ni 
Kanashimi wa tsuki no kage ni

Ue o muite arukoo 
Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni 
Nakinagara aruku 
Hitoribotchi no yoru

I LOOK UP WHEN I WALK
(English Translation)


I look up when I walk 
So the tears won't fall 
Remembering those happy spring days 
But tonight I'm all alone 

I look up when I walk 
Counting the stars with tearful eyes 
Remembering those happy summer days 
But tonight I'm all alone 

Happiness lies beyond the clouds 
Happiness lies above the sky 

I look up when I walk 
So the tears won't fall 
Though my heart is filled with sorrow
For tonightI'm all alone 

(whistling) 

Remembering those happy autumn days 
But tonight I'm all alone 
Sadness hides in the shadow of the stars 
Sadness lurks in the shadow of the moon 

I look up when I walk 
So the tears won't fall 
Though my heart is filled with sorrow 
For tonight I'm all alone
