When I was in Elementary school in Japan almost 40 years ago, we learned this song tranlated into Japanese, more of sentimental memory about homeland, not love for a boy. Now I happened to have found the original lyrics, I love it even more. Its beautiful and I like her voice too.
I was in Japan 57 years ago at Johnson Air Base. I loved it there. What a privileged and wonderful experience it was to go to school on the base as an Army Brat in Japan and any where overseas. I miss it.
From this valley they say you are going, We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile, For they say you are taking the sunshine That has brightened our pathways awhile. ||: Come and sit by my side if you love me; Do not hasten to bid me adieu, Just remember the Red River Valley, And the girl who has loved you so true :|| For a long time I have been thinking, Of the sweet words you never would say, Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish? For they say you are going away. Won't you think of the valley you're leaving, Oh, how lonely and sad it will be, Just think of the fond heart you're breaking, And the grief you are causing to me. From this valley they say you are going, When you go, may your darling go too? Would you leave her behind being lonely 😞 When she loves no one other than you. As you go to your home by the ocean, May you never forget those sweet hours, That we spent in the Red River Valley, And the love we exchanged 'mid the flowers. I have promised you, darling, that never Will a word from my lips cause you pain, And my life, it will be yours forever, If you only will love me again. They will bury me where you have wandered, Near the hills where the daffodils grow, When you're gone from the Red River valley, For I can't live without you I know.
Wow throw backmemoriesim singing this song when I was still 4 to 5years old thou I can't pronounce well or correctly English word I love the lyrics and melody, am nowat80's so ie joy much 🙏🙏🙏
From this valley they say you are going ; We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile ; For they say you are taking the sunshine ; That has brightened our pathway a while ; Come and sit by my side if you love me ; Do not hasten to bid me adieu ; Just remember the Red River Valley ; And the girl who has loved you so true. For such a long time I have waited ; For those sweet words you never would say ; Now alas on my fond hopes have vanished ; For they say you are going away ; Come and sit by my side if you love me ; Do not hasten to bid me adieu ; Just remember the Red River Valley ; And the girl who has loved you so true.
Beautiful song and good and fake communist propaganda. Sorry for those foreigners who met their death in our country, fighting for nothing and killing our grandparents; we say a prayer for the eternal rest of Spaniards brutally killed in the Spanish revolution. We, good Spaniards, do not forget them.
Then, why did you arrange to remove me from your eyes. As I was informed by your most loved/feared/favourite person that it was you who insisted. However, I certainly wouldn't stay where you don't have love for me!
