Nujabes is not dead as long as we press play and listen
The word “samba” appears in the lyrics. In the original lyrics, it is written “山葉,” which reads the same as the Brazilian "samba". The meaning of the word “山葉” is the leaves of the mountain. It is a play on words. By the way, another way to read “山葉” is yamaha.
Been listening for years and I never knew the English lyrics. This is truly the Song of Four Seasons.
Hopeful yet melancholic. Sad yet Joyful. The most beautiful pieces of art are the ones who convey contradictory feelings. Thank you Nujabes for this song. Thank you Watanabe for Samurai Champloo
Man. I promise you, i found Nujabes a couple of months ago and he instantly became one of my favorite artists. I then went on to see what he was doing in life on his Spotify bio and i was in complete shock and sadness immediately after learning he passed away 11 years ago. Man, i wonder what music he would have right now or what great things he would have accomplished by now.
Just found this anime from this song. I'm glad I did, because I can tell from moments into watching the first episode that this anime is undoubtedly legendary.
It’s kind of funny I have a Japanese playlist (I’m still new to the anime scene) and I saw a few samurai Champloo tracks and added them. Not knowing Samurai Champloo was an anime, and I came across a cover of this song and it was awesome. Then I found the original and then I binge watched the whole show within a few days. Now we’re here, and I’m grateful. The music is amazing and just a 10/10 show. :)
RIP Nujabes. Gone but not forgotten
i love how her words flow
Not enough people give minmi the credit she deserves for doing the amazing vocals on this song
Sometimes I cry for futures I haven’t lost yet
Been listening for so many years never get tired of it
This is literally one of the most beau songs I have ever heard in my life. Thank you Samurai Champloo like 13 years ago when I watched a bit of anime aha. I always remember it. And thank you for such a good translation!
This song makes me wanna cry and in a good way... that's extremely rare, Nujabes and Samurai Champloo is an absolute blessing
また夜が明ければお別れ 夢は遠きまぼろしに あなたを追いかけていた光の中で 抱かれるたび 温かい風をたより 春を告げ 踊り出す山菜 夏を見る宇治 野原唐草乾くわ 秋の月登った まん丸さ お祝い 冬を過ぎまた 月日を数える まだまぶたの奥にある いつかの夏 遠すぎた青空(温かかった) 手をつなぐ花摘みうたう いつや思い出(あてはなく) 葉月から三月 雲とからむ月 もういつか帰らぬことに 目覚めた時 一人気付き あなた探す旅に 今呼び覚ます 記憶の中で いざ歩き出す あなたのもとへ また夜が明ければお別れ 夢は遠きまぼろしに あなたを追いかけていた光の中で 抱かれるたび 温かい風をたより 春を告げ 踊り出す山菜 夏を見る宇治 野原唐草乾くわ 秋の月登った まん丸さ お祝い 冬を過ぎまた 月日を数える 君によりなな 日向かた寄りに 君に見た花の薫り 形見に 結びゆく道あらば また帰りみむ 流るる涙止めそかねつる 追い風叫ぶ 静寂を壊すの 何も恐れず進むの 黄金の花が運ぶの 優しさにあなたに ふたたび会いに 今 静寂を壊すの 何る恐れず進むの 黄金の花が運ぶの 優しさにあなたに ふたたび会いに 春を告げ 踊り出す山菜 夏を見る宇治 野原唐草乾くわ 秋の月登った まん丸さ お祝い 冬を過ぎまた 月日を数える 春を告げ 踊って山葉 夏を見る宇治 野原唐草乾くわ 秋の月登った まん丸さ お祝い 冬を過ぎまた 月日を数える また夜が明ければお別れ 夢は遠きまぼろしに あなたを追いかけていた光の中で 抱かれるたび 温かい風をたより
