Ii hi tabidachi
ゆきどけまじかのきたのそらにむかい
yukidoke madjika no kita no sora ni mukai
すぎさりしひびのゆめをさけぶとき
sugisari shi hibi no yume wo sakebu toki
かえらぬひとたちあついむねをよぎる
kaeranu hitotachi atsui mune wo yogiru
せめてきょうからひとりきりたびにでる
semete kyou kara hitorikiri tabi ni deru
あ、にほんのどこかに
a, Nihon no dokoka ni
わたしをまってるひとがいる
watashi wo matteru hito ga iru
いいひたびだち ゆうやけをさがしに
ii hi tabidachi yuuyake wo sagashi ni
ははのせなかできいたうたをみちづれに
haha no senaka de kiita uta wo michidzure ni
みさきのはずれにしょうねんはさかなつり
misaki no hazure ni shounen wa sakanatsuri
あおいすすきのこみちをかえるのか
aoi susuki no komichi wo kaeru no ka
わたしはいまからおもいでをつくるため
watashi wa ima kara omoide wo tsukuru tame
すなにかれきでかくつもり「さよなら」と
suna ni kareki de kaku tsumori "sayonara" to
あ、にほんのどこかに
a, Nihon no dokoka ni
わたしをまってるひとがいる
watashi wo matteru hito ga iru
いいひたびだち ひつじぐもをさがしに
ii hi tabidachi hitsujigumo wo sagashi ni
ちちがおしえてくれたうたをみちづれに
chichi ga oshiete kureta uta wo michidzure ni
あ、にほんのどこかに
a, Nihon no dokoka ni
わたしをまってるひとがいる
watashi wo matteru hito ga iru
いいひたびだち しあわせをさがしに
ii hi tabidachi shiawase wo sagashi ni
こどものころにうたったうたをみちづれに
kodomo no koro ni utatta uta wo michidzure ni
A Journey Begins
As the snow melts, I face the northern sky
When I shout out the dreams of days gone by
The people who won't return cross my heart
At least from today, I'm setting out on my own
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There’s someone waiting for me
It’s a fine day to start, searching for the sunset
With the song I heard on my mother’s back
At the edge of the cape, a boy is fishing
Will he return through the blue grass path?
I’m about to create memories
I plan to write in the sand, "Goodbye"
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There’s someone waiting for me
It’s a fine day to start, searching for the sheep clouds
With the song my father taught me
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There’s someone waiting for me
It’s a fine day to start, searching for happiness
With the song I sang as a child.
