Let Me Sing with a Merseybeat

Lyrics & Composition: Mariya Takeuchi
Arrangement: Tatsurou Yamashita

In those days you were dressed to kill in collarless suits
Every night girls gifted you with kisses
Liverpool was beaming

What you gave me wasn't just a dream
but a new sensation that took the whole world by storm
I didn't understand a word you were saying
but the girl chasing after you so hard
is right here, it's me

I could see that smile every time I turned the pages of the photogravure
but time stands still only in my heart
The rhythm you beat out with your thin boots
is a Merseybeat that still excites the boys
Liverpool was beaming

That melody that made my heart tremble on the record shelf in '64
starts sounding in my ears
I've grown lonely since you disappeared
but I grew up before I knew it and even my tears dried
I could see that smile every time I turned the pages of the photogravure
but time stands still only in my heart

In those days you were dressed to kill in collarless suits
Every night girls gifted you with kisses
Liverpool was beaming
Liverpool was beaming
Let me sing a merseybeat

Merseybeat de Utawasete

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Takeuchi Mariya
Henkyoku: Yamashita Tatsurou

Eri nashi no suutsu de kimeteta ano koro
Maiban onna no ko kara kissu no okurimono
Kagayaiteta Ribapuuru

Anata ga kureta nowa tada no yume ja nakute
Sekaijuu wo makikomu hodo no tobikiri no senseeshon
Anata ga hanashiteru kotoba mo wakarazu ni
Hitasura oikaketa shoujo ga
Koko ni iru watashi nano

Gurabia wo mekuru tabi ni sono egao ni aeta noni
Mune no naka de dake toki ga tomatteru
Hosome no buutsu de kizanda rizumu wa
Ima nao shounentachi wo shibiresaseru maajiibiito
Kagayaiteta Ribapuuru

Rokujuuyon-nen no rekoododana ni aru kokoro furuwaseta ano merodi
Mimimoto de naridasu
Anata ga kiete kara sabishiku natta kedo
Itsu no ma ni ka otona ni natte namida sae kawaiteta
Gurabia wo mekuru tabi ni sono egao ni aeta noni
Mune no naka de dake toki ga tomatteru

Eri nashi no suutsu de kimeteta ano koro
Maiban onna no ko kara kissu no okurimono
Kagayaiteta Ribapuuru
Kagayaiteta Ribapuuru
Utawasete yo maajiibiito
