Sarai

Sarai

A distant dream, I couldn't let go, left my hometown behind
遠い夢 すてきれずに 故郷をすてた
tooi yume sutekirezu ni furusato wo suteta
The gentle spring sunlight dances on a small train station
穏やかな 春の陽射しが ゆれる 小さな駅舎
odayakana haru no hizashi ga yureru chiisana ekisha
Stronger than parting, stronger than sadness, my longing grows
別離より 悲しみより 憧憬はつよく
betsuri yori kanashimi yori doukei wa tsuyoku
A lonely journey, back to back with loneliness, I set off alone
淋しさと 背中あわせの ひとりきりの 旅立ち
sabishisa to senaka awase no hitorikiri no tabidachi

As the train starts moving, by the window
動き始めた 汽車の窓辺を
ugoki hajimeta kisha no madobe wo
I just stared at the scenery flowing by
流れてゆく 景色だけを じっと見ていた
nagarete yuku keshiki dake wo jitto mite ita
The cherry blossom blizzard in the Sarai sky
サクラ吹雪の サライの空は
sakura fubuki no sarai no sora wa
So heartbreakingly blue and clear, it made my heart tremble
哀しい程 青く澄んで 胸が震えた
kanashii hodo aoku sunde mune ga furuita

Falling in love, heartbroken, spending sleepless nights
恋をして 恋に破れ 眠れずに過ごす
koi wo shite koi ni yabure nemurezu ni sugosu
Through the apartment window, I watched the stars in the night sky
アパートの 窓ガラス越し 見てた 夜空の星
apāto no madogarasu goshi miteta yozora no hoshi
If I'm chasing dreams in this city, I need to be a bit stronger
この街で 夢追うなら もう少し強く
kono machi de yume ou nara mou sukoshi tsuyoku
Or else I feel like I might lose to the flow of time
ならなけりゃ 時の流れに 負けてしまいそうで
naranakerya toki no nagare ni makete shimai sou de

As the morning starts on the street corner
動き始めた 朝の街角
ugoki hajimeta asa no machikado
Amidst the crowd, I looked up at the sky
人の群れに 埋もれながら 空を見上げた
hito no mure ni umorenagara sora wo miageta
To the Sarai sky with cherry blossom blizzards
サクラ吹雪の サライの空へ
sakura fubuki no sarai no sora e
The white clouds flowing by made my heart tremble
流れてゆく 白い雲に 胸が震えた
nagarete yuku shiroi kumo ni mune ga furuita

The farther I am, the more this feeling grows
離れれば 離れる程 なおさらにつのる
hanareba hanareru hodo naosara ni tsunoru
This longing I can't forget, flipping through an old album
この想い 忘れられずに ひらく 古いアルバム
kono omoi wasurerarezu ni hiraku furui arubamu
Surrounded by my young parents, those days passed by
若い日の 父と母に 包まれて過ぎた
wakai hi no chichi to haha ni tsutsumarete sugita
Living while tracing the soft days of life
やわらかな 日々の暮らしを なぞりながら生きる
yawarakana hibi no kurashi wo nazorinagara ikiru

When I close my eyes, the scenery floats up
まぶたとじれば 浮かぶ景色が
mabuta toji reba ukabu keshiki ga
Wandering, someday I'll return to my beloved hometown
迷いながら いつか帰る 愛の故郷
mayoinagara itsuka kaeru ai no furusato
To the Sarai sky with cherry blossom blizzards
サクラ吹雪の サライの空へ
sakura fubuki no sarai no sora e
Until that day comes, I won't give up on my dreams
いつか帰る その時まで 夢はすてない
itsuka kaeru sono toki made yume wa sutenai

When I close my eyes, the scenery floats up
まぶたとじれば 浮かぶ景色が
mabuta toji reba ukabu keshiki ga
Wandering, someday I'll return to my beloved hometown
迷いながら いつか帰る 愛の故郷
mayoinagara itsuka kaeru ai no furusato
To the Sarai sky with cherry blossom blizzards
サクラ吹雪の サライの空へ
sakura fubuki no sarai no sora e
Someday I'll return, someday I'll return, I will definitely return
いつか帰る いつか帰る きっと帰るから
itsuka kaeru itsuka kaeru kitto kaeru kara
