Third track of the maxi-single "Sense of Wonder".
HOME 夢を追いかけてきた この街にも
二度目の寒い冬がきて
穴だらけのマフラーのあたたかさに
ちょっとだけ涙こぼれた
一人きり夕暮れの道でなぜか浮かぶ、言えずにいた
「ありがとう」「さようなら」「ごめんね」の言葉
恥ずかしがってないで伝えるよ
さぁ おうちへ帰ろう どんな時もあなたがいるあの日の場所へ
流れてゆく窓の景色 いつかの空とよく似ている
変わってないな 駅前のこの風景
色褪せたタイヤの公園
ブランコに腰を降ろして 目を閉じれば
よみがえる あの日の匂い
二人して夕暮れの道で笑いあう そんな時間が
なにげなく、たまらなく、愛しいと想える
背伸びなんかじゃなくて心から
さぁ おうちへ帰ろう どんな時もあなたがいるあの日の場所へ
近道して歩く通学路 いつかの僕とよく似ている
大事なことは記号じゃなくて、電波でもなく 自分の声で
伝えたいのは心の温度 ふわっと抱きしめる
温もり感じてごらんよ 子供のように
さぁ おうちへ帰ろう どんな時もあなたがいるあの日の場所へ
手探りしてさがしてたものは
きっと見つかるそこにあるから
おうちへ帰ろう どんな時もあなたがいるあの日の場所へ
流れてゆく窓の景色 いつかの空とよく似ている

HOME
(Since) I went chasing dreams, the second cold winter
Has come to this town as well
I cried a little from
The warmth of my hole-riddled muffler
The words “Thank you” “Farewell” “I'm sorry” that were left unsaid.
Why can I say them
Without any shyness when I'm walking all alone in the twilight (*1)
Well, let's go back home To the times that you were always there (*2)
The scenery moving past the window quite resembles the sky of times past (*3)
It hasn't changed at all This scenery in front of the station
The faded Diamond Park
If I sit down on the swings and close my eyes,
I can recall the smell of those days
When we were together laughing in the twilight (*1) Those times
I think of them innocently, irresistibly, lovingly
I'm not trying to put up a front, I genuinely think so (*4)
Well, let's go back home To the times that you were always there (*2)
The shortcut walked on the way back from school quite resembles the me of times past (*3)
What I want to convey, not through writing or digital means, but through my own voice
The warmth of the heart Gently embracing you
Please feel the warmth Like a child (*5)
Well, let's go back home To the times that you were always there (*2)
The thing we've been looking for by groping around
It will certainly be found as it is right in front of us
Let's go back home To the times that you were always there (*2)
The scenery moving past the window quite resembles the sky of times past (*3)
Notes:
Disclaimer in first post of my journal.
(*1) In the twilight / Yuugare no michi - I left out the “no michi”, but it means “down the road as twilight falls”
(*2) To the times that you were always there / Donna toki mo anata ga iru ano hi no bashou e - Literally this line means something like "To the place of that day where you always were", poetically indicating going back to a place but also a time.
(*3) Of times past / Itsuka no - Technically “of someday” - it is not specified if we are talking past or future tense. However, I found this translation better suited as it brings forth the sense of nostalgia and longing that is intended.
(*4) I genuinely think so / Kokoro kara - Literally “kokoro kara” means “from the heart”, which in this case holds the same meaning as to what I translated.
(*5) Like a child / Kodomo no you ni - Meaning that the gesture is innocent yet lovingly and should be taken so.
