[Man] Oh my love, I’m leaving on a trip I’m heading towards a train going east In the lit-up city, I plan to spend my time searching, searching for a gift to give you [Woman] No, dear, there’s nothing that I want Except for you to come back not dyed in city colors not dyed in city colors [Man] Oh my love, half a year has passed Don’t cry because we haven’t seen each other I’m sending you a ring that’s fashionable in town right now It should suit you, suit you [Woman] No, even diamonds of the stars Even pearls sleeping in the sea I’m sure nothing but your kiss could surpass their shine could surpass their shine [Man] Oh my love, even now you go unadorned Do you still not even wear lipstick? Look at this photograph of me dressed in a slightly awkward suit [Woman] No, I’m throwing myself down on the grass I loved you so But the cold wintry wind of the business district put spirit into your body, didn’t it? put spirit into your body, didn’t it? [Man] Oh my love, I’m forgetting you Please forgive me for changing Every day I’m happy spending my time on street corners I, I’m not coming home [Woman] Dear, your last selfishness is rather a gift you’ve given me Say, could I have a cotton handkerchief to wipe my tears, please to wipe my tears, please |

Song info: Japanese classic from the 60's, originally sung by Hiromi Oota
Notes: Ringo sings the man's part (ha ha), while Nao Matsuzaki sings the woman's, though the original version of this song is not a duet. (Man's and woman's part demarcations added by me.)
