悲しい酒(Sad Sake)

Midnight in some lonely bar
Nursing my cup of cheer
He's gone, and now my sweet liqueur
Is flooded with bitter tears

I'm drinking―can't help thinking
Of what we left behind
Mem'ries afloat in my glass
As they echo through my mind

Now he's gone, but memories of him remain
So many regrets...
I drink to forget
But tonight, drinking makes me even sadder
Oh, sake! Tell me, how?
How can I give him up?

Sake, my fine fickle friend
Please, won't you have a heart?
Stay, stay! My pain to wash away
And give me a brand-new start

One drink, and then another,
Now let your feelings fly;
“I did it all, gave it all
For my love, for love do I cry.”

My heart, it bravely proclaims,
“Life all alone is fine!”
Why, then, am I here in this lonely bar,
Weeping in my wine?

I loved him―but I lost him
This world just can't be right!
Whispering“goodbye!”
As I drink, as I cry
The long, lonely night.
