My exchange life is very good now! Very sweet and bitter. I try to be some one. It’s like a dream. It’s like a music. I went to up and down, right and left, fast and slow. It’s make me a lot of inspiration. I’m really happy to chose Finland.
My family and friends are so kind. I can trust everyone now. It’s very different from my past. I couldn’t trust everyone. I was lonely. I don’t know what is right but I think my life is not mistaken. It’s hard but I think we should not find what is collect and what is mistakes. We should find what is collect and what is not so important. I can’t be a peaceful person. Every day is sweet and bitter. It comes together instead of alternating.
It’s not so important but I like solid music. It has some melody parts and codes which is easy to remind. Sweet and bitter.
My hast father asked me “Do you know SUKIYAKI?” it’s “UE WO MUITE ARUKOU” in Japanese. This is a Japanese music. Old but everyone knows.
上を向いて歩こう Let’s walk with looking up
涙がこぼれないように To my tears won’t overflow
思い出す春の日 Reminds me that spring day
一人ぼっちの夜 The lonely night
上を向いて歩こう Let’s walk with looking up
にじんだ星を数えて And counting unclear stars
思い出す夏の日 I remember that summer lights
一人ぼっちの夜 The lonely night
幸せは雲の上に Happiness is upon clouds
幸せは空の上に Happiness is upon the sky
上を向いて歩こう Let’s walk with looking up
涙がこぼれないように To my tears won’t overflow
泣きながら歩く I’m crying but walking
一人ぼっちの夜 The lonely night
思い出す秋の日 I can see that autumn days
一人ぼっちの夜 The lonely night
悲しみは星の影に Sorrow is in the shadow of stars
悲しみは月の影に Sadness is in the shadow of moon
上を向いて歩こう Let’s walk with looking up
涙がこぼれないように To my tears won’t overflow
泣きながら歩く Crying but walking
一人ぼっちの夜 The lonely night
一人ぼっちの夜 The lonely night
This is lyrics (I translated so maybe not good…). This is sad song, and it’s negative. However melody is exciting. Why the lyrics say walking and looking up? Why he (her) doesn’t want to cry? Why the happiness and sadness is in the sky? I guess it’s has not collect. I’m happy that if you are thinking about this lyrics! I will write my opinion next…
In my opinion, he didn’t achieved something which he wants. However something crashed his dream and hope. Therefore he is depression and he reminds peaceful and beautiful days. But he doesn’t want to return his past. Because he is still walking. The lonely night is very scare but he can think and make determination for the future. I realized that same sky isn’t exist. Finnish sky is so big and changing. My friend and host family said Finland’s air and sky is the most beautiful. I think it’s special, but I think it’s a real sky. I saw high clouds, sunny rain, sunset, sunrise, rainbow, sunder and also I will see snow. This lyrics shows happiness is on the sky and clouds, sorrow and sadness is in a shadow of stars and moon. I think memory of happiness are changed. Sometime, we can remember clearly but sometimes we can’t remember. And, sadness isn’t changed. Sadness and truth is always together. I think sky is very good for explain. Stars and moon is truths, but we can’t see them in the noon. Clouds and sky change well in the noon it’s like a happiness. At night, stars and moon is bright, but we can’t see clouds well. And shadow makes me loneliness. However we can see the truth and our dreams.
Conclusion, I think this song explains that look up and see the truth. It’s reminds you some happiness clearly and makes you sad. However you can see the truth and you can find your way. Your sadness are in the shadows which makes your shape and always with you. Stars is unclear because of your tears now, but it’s always with you.
Don’t worry I’m not homesick.(lol)
