Myuk | My Favorite ALFA: Episode 8

Myuk joins Tadashi at ONKIO house to perform a cover of The Red Birds' "Tsubasa Wo Kudasai" before sitting down to chat about Myuk's connection to folk music, the history of ONKIO HAUS, and the story behind the Japanese standard by Kunihiko Murai.

MY FAVORITE ALFA is a series where we invite current artists influenced by music from Alfa Music to cover their favorite song, and then speak with us about what the song/artist means to them, the influence it’s had on their own style, and the general history behind the song, artist, and label.

Our guest this time is Myuk, who performed “Tsubasa Wo Kudasai” composed by Kunihiko Murai.

“Tsubasa Wo Kudasai”
Composed by Kunihiko Murai
Lyrics by Michio Yamagami
Originally Performed by: The Red Birds

今 私の願いごとが
かなうならば 翼がほしい
この背中に 鳥のように
白い翼 つけて下さい

この大空に 翼を広げ
飛んで行きたいよ
悲しみのない 自由な空へ
翼はためかせ 行きたい

いま 富とか 名誉ならば
いらないけど 翼がほしい
子供のとき 夢見たこと
今も同じ 夢に見ている

この大空に 翼を広げ
飛んで行きたいよ
悲しみのない 自由な空へ
翼はためかせ

この大空に 翼を広げ
飛んで行きたいよ
悲しみのない 自由な空へ
翼はためかせ

この大空に 翼を広げ
飛んで行きたいよ
悲しみのない 自由な空へ
翼はためかせ 行きたい
