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 - Hudba

the fact that she wrote her lyrics, stayed true to the idiosyncrasies of the original lyrics and maintained a Japanese style of haiku-esque writing while rhyming is incredible actually.
Uuuuuh...yes. I understand what you just said.
@@oni-linkle4880 Mood. I do too.
It's beautiful, like how a monsoon is deadly.
lets be real the overall level of talent here insane, bit to mention every song she sings sounds like it was made for her voice.
@@Brother_Aniki I think you mean a typhoon
Hey, everyone! Just wanted to say that yes, I’m aware Minmi (og singer for shiki no uta) used my English lyrics for her music video. No, she and her team did not contact me or credit me, sadly. As long as I can keep my cover up on youtube then I don’t mind it. Thank you all for lookin’ out for me, I really appreciate it.
Edit: Just wanna add that I’ve pinned this so people stop bugging me about it! I’m more flattered than anything. Chill.
Sapphire It’s a shame you got no credit :(
I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you're at least aware.
I did not think to check the original video for a response to the video.
It's a shame really... but hey, at least those that know your work will have your back. Keep on singin' Sapphire!
tfw this is still the superior version
Sapphire Omg are you serious ...
Jesus, this,
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
Brilliant writing!
Eugene Rider my Life!!
Eugene Rider I WAS JUST thinking about that! The writing is gorgeous 😱
Its sooo good
Actually it's not that good, Shine=/Night Arrive=/Sign Ce=/ess, i mean, Failed Rhymes.
Valentin Socario None of the rhymes failed though.
U r legend
Omg i got heart from u thanku sapphire😊 means a lot♥️💕
No, you are Spike
hey spike
Oui
A shame Nujabee is no longer with us, his music is beautiful.
yeah
did he die?
(R.I.P) Nujabes*
+Candy Vanilla “Pokemon candy girl” Starmoon died in a car crash unfortunately. Man was a genius.
+Candy Vanilla “Pokemon candy girl” Starmoon Yeah he died in 2010
An English cover done right, holy crap!
this is absolute perfection.
There are lots of good English covers of songs.
I think they were talking about this song in particular
N LM do their own translation? People shouldn't translate anything if they don't speak Japanese.
Also I don't know what you wrote here but it doesn't even rhyme, dude.
why would japanese translated to english rhyme lol wtf? the point of their (NLM) translation is accuracy to show the actual depth of the lyrics, not rewrite the song.
Your voice fits too well. If I hadn't heard the original first. I might have thought this was the original
I just heard this song on Spotify and that's exactly what happened to me xD
The original hits harder with less editing.
Like i did 😅
The original is ten times better.
i had radio on on spotify and this played and i thought it was the original! it inspired me to watch samurai champloo and i’m glad i did. her voice fits perfectly.
I wish people would respect the fact that both covers are simply magnificent. They have slightly different feelings, and that's okay. In my opinion, Sapphire's version sounds like a farewell song to a lover while Minmi's is more innocent, like a child. They are both incredible in terms of lyrics and music. I respect Sapphire, Minmi, and Nujabes. Have a great day and just enjoy the song.
Um, so yeah. This upload is mainly for my fans in the U.S. because the original cover got blocked in the states. At least now everyone in the world is able to listen to it again! If you'd like to purchase this new version of the cover, I'll update the video description with links to the music stores as soon as I can. I'll also be providing a free download of the old cover for everyone.
I love every single one of my fans on CZcams, but I'd like to thank my fans supporting me on Patreon right now. It really is because of them that I was able to upload this again. I was really bummed out about the song getting blocked, but they provided me with the funds to get a stellar instrumental created. It was a great experience adapting the lyrics and singing the song, and I'm glad all the time and effort I put into it initially was not wasted. ;___;
+Sapphire Can we find the original somewhere as well? soundcloud downloadlink?
I'm Lorax it's on my soundcloud page. check the video description.
This is awesome!!!! XD
I love your voice please keep singing! I love this song!!!
+ Sapphire can you please do an opening from Fairy Tail
Now that I have heard the translation, I find this song extremely fitting for Mugen, Fuu and Jin's journey together, especially for the ending. It talks how they want to be together, remembering on the memories they've shared yet at the same time moving on in the end either way. By the way this was an awesome English cover of the song! Keep up the amazing work!
Fuck you and also thank you. Thank you because that's so beautiful. But fuck you because I'm having a hard time listening to this without getting teary.
Damn it! I'm getting teary eyed again. I always wished that they were able to meet up again after their journey.
Their friendship seemed so genuine by the end.
Why didnt they stay together?
@@SpikeTheWolf They had their own goals, their own lives, their endings. Everything they had to do is done. It was time to go at the end.
@@oz2037 what happens next? When they leave? Would the manga help?
*_The song for when summer break, or just any seasonal break is coming to an end, and you stand with your friends, just drinking a soda, and staring out into the sunset._*
Chipp Zanuff cringe
fucking mood right here.
Mood
no
@@aaronslaton9733 😐
This song really gives me a Samurai Champloo vibe
the English cover not only gave me a samurai champloo feels but also Persona 3 woah.... the theme of persona 3's school and this one are mixing in my head too epic I'm seeing stars now in my ceiling!
STcanoeWOOSH This is the English cover of "Shiki no Uta",which is the outro song to every episode of the series lol so u should get Samurai Champloo feels
STcanoeWOOSH I needed to mention that I love your profile pic and I totally agree
Well we ain’t burning bread.
I need this in Smash Bros.
@@ka9d00d3 lol
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.
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.
Omg system of a down sang in Spanish? This is a thing??
lol wth a spanish cover of S.O.D. Now i got to find that
qué rico es hacerselo al sultán

Read a comment saying, “it’s sad nujabes isn’t with us anymore”. What do you mean? Just press play, he’s in the instruments and samples. The synthesizer and every beat he conjured in magical fashion! And the many other artist he collaborated with. We all share a piece of the Legend. Long Live Nujabes.. Just press play my friend...
This actually cheered me up thank you
Tears just fell reading this comment, I miss the man but his works remain imprinted forever. Thanks for the positivity bruhh
I'm that guy you mentioned, your positive outlook is inspiring. Cheer to that, brother. Nujabes and his legacy will live on, forever, as long as there's someone still listen to it.
@@yasulong well thank you for the words. I appreciate you bro. Stay up and keep walking forward.
I will have to say that after so many years of hearing many remixes of the whole S.C OST, this is one of the best Skiki's No Uta Eng covers I have heard. Got the gift.
can't stop listening
I so agree on that!
I died.
Same
Real
makes me want to re-watch the show again
saaame
Re-watching it right now on Toonami
+LightflashZ the toonami in my country sucks...
I am right now
I finished last night the moment fuu's father was killed and the series was over made me so sad and only after 26 episodes!
THIS IS GOLDEN AND GIVES ME A JOYFUL AND PEACEFUL FEELING
OH MY GOD! *_I LOVE IT_*! I love your voice and how the lyrics fit with the beat. It's all very soothing and somehow sad, but has an upbeat tone to it! Thank you for making this!
I think this is the best way to go regarding a sad situation. You know, with an uplifting attitude. I almost cried when I heard this song tho xD
As a Canadian, I love the benefit of having not one, but TWO excellent versions of this song to listen to :D
I need to find a extended version I'm starting to get into a abusive relationship with the replay button
Guess Minmi must've really liked your team's take on the translation to make it, essentially, the official version. Even if the suits didn't think y'all worth crediting, that's a major nod from the girl who first gave this life. Congrats on that, at least
Wherever you are, whoever you are, you're music has touched me and it is beautiful just like the soul of the artist ♥️
This has to be one of the best covers I've ever heard. Your perfect, tone, and pitch is absolutely perfect. Thank you for not changing the song up.
April 2017 I watched a sunrise on a big hill in a park. Listened to this this song while watching the sun slowly rise more and more up from the horizon. Thank you for this cover! It lead to this perfect moment :)
That sounds wonderful!
oh my god i just finished Samurai Champloo and hearing this in english is really cool. Amazing voice, and amazing job on this cover, seriously! Thank you! what a legendary song and anime.
I heard this song before in japanese but i didnt realize how good this song is when i can hear it in english.
Actual good english translation that matches the singing cadence of the original. Amazing how many dubs absolutely blow it. Great work!
I expected a car wreck, what I found was a beautiful rendition that shows the beautiful flow of the original.
0:23 seconds in and wow this is already way better than I expected it too be. Voice is perfect and beautiful
Honestly I have always adored the original but you did a brilliant job of taking a Japanese song and 100% keeping the mood, soul , and intent in transitioning it to English and completely keeping all the magic. Bravo!
My mouth literally dropped while listening to this at how true it was to the original. Big ups for this
this was the song that got me into your channel.. you dont know how happy this makes me
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...
This brought tears to my eyes, one of my favorite songs covered right
The way I thought this was the actual English version but it’s a cover. I still love this so much 😭
All things considered, domo records basically made these lyrics official by using them to the letter, without any acknowledgement, when they released a video of MINMI singing it in English.
Youthful summer evening vibes
gawd DAMN. after the first chorus i had to pause and rewind.
One of the nostalgic songs that always makes me think of high school, walking down the halls always listening to this song in the morning cuz it has a great mood when it's dark out early in the morning. And I always think of my friends in our anime and gaming group :( I miss them so much
Absolutely insane how well this was executed. So glad I found it.
Hey everyone! It took forever, but Shiki no Uta is now on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, and Loudr! It's not on Spotify yet, but it shouldn't be too long before it shows up on my artist page--which I now have (links below)!

I just discovered this cover on my CZcams feed. You just got a like and a new subscriber to your channel.
Sapphire beautiful voice
Please put the japanese version of this on spotify!!!
This song is so beautiful ive been listening to the japanese version for years and now that I can understand it its like I fell for it all over again
This is literally the best cover on youtube.
my favorite English Cover is back.
This Anime was the best of all. I remember watching Adult Swim late nignt one eye barely open falling asleep too this when it went off. Thanks for putting this song to a perfect tone as the old version but now I can understand it completely lol and still feel right back in 2004. Perfect!! Hit me right in the childhood with this one!!!
This brought me to tears and I'm not lying. I love this song and I appreciate the English cover. I'm so glad I found this. Thank you so much.
Best anime outro of all time 😢 ALL THE MEMORIES ‼️‼️
This song is just sad but perfectly made, it gives me a nostalgic vibe
Japanese or English, this song hits the heartstrings 💯
This never stops being incredible. It is one of those songs I have to listen to at least 10 times in a row.
I heard this years ago. Still listening to it!
listened to so many times but never gets old such a beautiful song, the anime also amazing
Love me some Samurai Champloo
I seriously love how harmonious and warm this is.
Omg you absolutely sang this song so perfect like wth. I honestly came here expecting something that wasn't even good and i was going to skip it, but i was instead blown away by your voice and how well you hit those vocals. You have a really amazing voice. I don't know if you'll see this because this video is so old but thank you, thank you very much
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
Big thumbs up, your voice fits this song so well!!
This is so beautiful, I legitimately started crying. Sapphires are my favorite gemstone.
This is a fabulous version of the song. I've always thought the emotion that comes through from the original can be felt regardless of if you actually know what is being said and being able to understand the context, even if altered a bit, just pushes it so much farther. Honestly kinda choked up at work lol
Beautiful, Your harmonies are ON POINT
This song is an incredible vibe
I find it amazing that both versions are incredibly beautiful and meaningful, whilst also being unique in their own way and style. Something else I noticed upon looking up the translation of the original is that the two convey pretty different messages. In this version, there's hope that her significant other is alive and well, just far away. While, in the original, i think it's made clear that the other person has passed away, and theres a more serene, melancholy feeling of having to move on.
song made me fall in love all over again. I loved the Japanese version and the English aces on this rendition. brought back a lot of good vibes and memories
Literally never gets old.
I always get Goosebumps when I listen to the original version in Japanese.
I got Goosebumps when I heard this version.
Loves it 🥵❤️🔥
Doesn't matter how many times I listen to this it's as much soothing to my ears as it was when I listened to it the first time both yours and original one. Thank you MINIMI,Nujabes and Sapphire.
Now this is perfection. I find myself listening to this on a loop. Thank you for doing this.
Your voice is beyond perfect here. Also killer instrumental. Amazing!
Sapphire YOUR VOICE AND LYRICS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND MAKES MY SPIRIT FEEL GOOD EVERYTIME I LISTEN.
Samurai Champloo is one of my favorite anime of all time and I’ve never heard an English cover of it. And I love the ED song. This is so perfect
I’m listening to this while sitting on a bench on a sunny spring day. It’s sunny and breezy at the same time. It goes wonderful with this song.
sapphire ? Can you do ghost in the shell inner universe...
I love it so much
YES PLEASE.
AND RISE
I still stand by this
yes
Leave a good song the way it is. Dont go fucking it up
Melrose&Leifu Dedication
This is insanely groovey
bit late for the show but I really liked how Sapphire chose to handle this, I really liked her outlook
Just wanna say this is amazing and I've been listening to it non stop since I discovered it years ago.
So yeah I don't think I could live without this cover. 10/10 totally going to buy.
So beautiful , great work *.*
I’ve been looking for this song for the last few years and instead of thinking of the person who showed it to me, I’m enjoying the song for itself. This is so amazing and I’m so glad I found it again. I knew I’d see that sunset cover again one day
Im so happy I discovered this last year... Holds so many memories.
Awesome lyrics!
Awesome singing!
Awesome song!
Keep it up...liking what I am hearing!
i might listen to it more often.
This version is INCREDIBLE!!
I did not expect this to be this good or to make me feel how I just felt 😢
This is the best iteration of this song I can find anywhere. You killed it girl; good stuff!
I alway love this song. Thank you so much for doing the English cover. 😍🥰
im crying this is really good
Simply excellent. Both anime and ending theme are just mesmerising. And this cover is just perfect. A nod to good times back in 2004-2005. Thank you.
Beautiful song that puts a smile in my soul every time I hear it. Thank you so much for sharing this music with us. You are the lead artist in the playlist of my heart!
such a good song, you did very well on this.
Everyone: NO THE JAPANESE VERSION IS BETTER KSWJWKSJSWJWOSOSOS
Me: GODDAMN THIS IS PERFECT.
Nooooo, you can't just translate lyrics to another language!!! It's not "true"!1!!
Haha, beautiful music go whoosh
@@coffee_tea_whiskey ha that's very much so what people think tbh. that's about as real of a representation as it could be..
@@silvaitor9054 ofc, cause it's memes, man
@@coffee_tea_whiskey true true. But some actually think that way...
theres a cover, not of this song, but of one of luvsic hexalogy
heres the link to it czcams.com/video/T2SsOWQAOZs/video.html&ab_channel=JirasakSoukchareon
it is of course even better, it maked me have goosebumps the first time i heard it
It really gave me some goosebumps here.
And almost...
Tears.
5 years later and still my favorite cover. I hope you're still going strong yourself
4 years fly so fast, but still here!
Thank u Sapphire=)
I liked the backgroundmusic in the old one a bit more but both versions are gold
Wow. I've never found a cover I enjoyed as much as the original until now, and it happens to be for one of my favorite songs. Thank you!
4 years later and this still goes hard ❤️
I got he notifcation on my phone that you uploaded this and immediately had to listen. Simply amazing. Keep shining on, dood
+TheSuperMerc same
such a shame that the original was blocked though, at least for people in the US like me
You and the brotet made the best covers.
I didn't think I could fall in love with a voice, I was up for hours at night just listening to this.
You are amazing.
I just found this and I seriously cant stop listening to it, this is amazing ❤
