這首歌後還來被英國音樂公司 PYE 總裁 Louis Benjamin 發掘，以他最喜歡吃的日本食物 sukiyaki（すきやき）［見註二］為名，改編成英文歌曲多次重新翻唱。日文版原曲更在 1963 年史無前例的拿下美國 Billboard 排行榜的冠軍［見註三］，一首日文歌曲能夠跨越語言隔閡而受到喜愛，足見美好旋律對人們的影響力無遠弗屆。

 

 

歌詞： Sukiyaki （壽喜燒） 演唱：4 P.M.
———————————————————————————————————-
It’s all because of you,
I’m feeling sad and blue
You went away, now my life is just a rainy day
And I love you so, how much you’ll never know
You’ve gone away and left me lonely

Untouchable memories,
Seem to keep haunting me
Another love so true
That once turned all my gray skies blue
But you disappeared
Now my eyes are filled with tears
And I’m wishing you were here with me

Soft with love are my thoughts of you
Now that you’re gone
I don’t know what to do

If only you were here
You’d wash away my tears
The sun would shine once again
You’d be mine all mine
But in reality, you and I will never be
‘Cause you took your love away from me
———————————————————————————————————-

註二：Sukiyaki 其實就是我們說的壽喜燒啦！有時候文化差異，很難了解把一首歌叫成食物名的意義 … Orz

註三：《上を向いて歩こう》1961 年以外語歌曲拿下美國 Biilboard 排行榜三週冠軍，這個紀錄至今還沒有任何外語歌曲超越！
