Chotto Matte


A romantic plea to a young geisha after seeing her cross the street in Shinbashi.

Chotto matte kudesai ...
may I ask your name?
I've never seen such beauty
in a woman 'til this day.

Your lips are redder than a rose,
your eyes so dark and brown,
I catch my breath and ask your name
I beg don't let me down.

Chotto matte kudesai ...
before you go I pray,
that our paths will cross again
somehow, somewhere, someday.
