Karatachinomichi

Karatachinomichi (a path of japanese hardy orange trees) was sung by a Japanese band "The Boom" and released in 1990 as a track of their album "Japaneska".

"The Boom" is well known for their big hit "Shimauta" whose covered version in Spanish by the Japanese Peruvian singer Alberto Shiroma was used for Argentina in the 2002 FIFA world cup.

Just like "Shimauta", actually this "Karatachinomichi" also has anti-war message. The lyrics are not straight, though.

Karatachinomichi by The Boom (1990)

Akai mi ni kuchibiru somete
Sora o miageru
Kore ijou tsurai hi ga kimasenyouni to
tobiishi hunda

(Chorus)
Karatachi nomichi Hana huku komichi
Naitara dame yo to mushi no ne kouta
Karatachi nomichi Harukana komichi
Ano hito no moto e to tsuzuku michi

Akai chi ni kuchibiru kande
Sora o miageru
Mou nido to tsurai hi ga kimasenyouni to
Mabuta o tojita

(Chorus)
Karatachi komichi Kakine no komichi
Naitara dame yo to sawa no ne kouta
Karatach nomichi Harukana komichi
Ano hito no uta ga kikoeta michi

(Repeat the 1st verse)

(Chorus)
Karatachi nomichi Kusabue komichi
Naitara dame yo to nazuna no kouta
Karatachi nomichi Harukana komichi
Anata no moto e kakete yukitai

Hitoribocchi no hidamari komichi
Itsumo hutari de aruiteta michi
Kozue no hana o tsumitorinagara
Nakibeso kaite wa komaraseta haru

Karatachi nomichi Hana huku komichi
Naitara dame yo to mushi no ne kouta
Karatachi nomichi Ano hi no mama no
anata no moto e kakete yukitai


Hope you enjoy it.
