The charms of Sukiyaki
The arms of Sukiyaki
Are all I long for since I left old Nagasaki
Why did I roam
Far away from home
I hope that she will wait for me

Her smile can not deceive me
Sweet almond eyes don't leave me
My whole life through I'll be true, darling please believe me
That if I say
I'll be back someday
Promise that you will wait for me

When orange blossoms are starting to bloom
We'll be united at bride and the groom

I'll take my Sukiyaki
And make my Sukiyaki
The only queen to be seen in old Nagasaki
And from our home
We will never roam
When I make Sukiyaki mine

Why did I roam
Far away from home
I hope that she will wait for me

When orange blossoms are starting to bloom
We'll be united at bride and the groom

I'll take my Sukiyaki
And make my Sukiyaki
The only queen to be seen in old Nagasaki
And from our home
We will never roam
When I make Sukiyaki mine

And from our home
We will never roam
When I make Sukiyaki mine
When I make Sukiyaki mine
All mine
