We first discovered this tune from Priscilla Ahn's beautiful version, which was featured on a J-Pop compilation given to me by a longtime Japanese family friend. Happy End was a pioneering Japanese folk rock band in the early 70's whose front man, Haruomi Hosono, is still performing and making music at the age of 72.
English Translation:
As I was walking down a towering alley
In the outskirts of the city
I saw beyond the blotched fog
A streetcar still sluggish from sleep
Crossing over the sea (Chorus)
That's why I want to
gather the wind (under my wings)
Gather the wind (under my wings)
Gather the wind (under my wings)
And run across the blue sky
Across the blue sky
As I passed through
a beautiful sunrise
I saw beyond the empty-looking breakwater
A city with its day-colored sails up
Moored in the port
That's why I want to
gather the wind (under my wings)
Gather the wind (under my wings)
Gather the wind (under my wings)
And run across the blue sky
Across the blue sky
When I was killing time one morning
At an empty coffee shop
I saw through the cracked glass
The rustling of the high-rises' silken clothes
Brushing on the sidewalk
