Here and Now

The Sandpipers (鷸鳥合唱團) 
是美國1960年代的一個合唱團， 
歌聲配音以溫柔見長，
古巴名歌関達拉美那(Guantanamera)是他們最有名的歌曲。

這首Chotto matte kudasai （日語：請等一下）
以他們一貫的柔和和聲，
娓娓道來失去情人的哀傷，
很動人心。
這支歌收錄在他們1971年出的唱片
“A Gift of Song”裡頭。

Chotto matte kudasai (The Sandpipers)

Chotto matte kudasai
Please excuse me while I cry
Seems sayonara means goodbye
But no one ever told me why
Sakura was in the spring
When our hearts found songs to sing
But Sakura has gone away
And so has our love, so they say

Chotto matte kudasai
Please excuse me while I cry
Without your love I would die
Please never leave me kudasai
Chotto matte kudasai
Please excuse me while I cry
Without your love I would die
Please never leave me kudasai
