DescriptionTranslation of lyrics from Japanese, by Kuniko and Kendall Brown:
"If this evening’s wind, Blows in the Cuban sky,
This singing voice, Carries my thoughts.
The song learned that night, Is love’s sweet memory
Leaning close at dusk, Singing together by the night harbor,
Tonight thinking about that love, Tonight singing that song
Tears well with memories of, A love song learned that night."
"If this evening’s wind, Blows in the Cuban sky,
This singing voice, Carries my thoughts.
The song learned that night, Is love’s sweet memory
Leaning close at dusk, Singing together by the night harbor,
Tonight thinking about that love, Tonight singing that song
Tears well with memories of, A love song learned that night."
