郷愁 || Homesickness

歌詞

長い旅路に 足を休ませ
見上げた視線の先に 赤い夕日が沈む

夕焼けに染められ色づく風景
記憶の中に眠ってる思い出を呼び覚ました

意識は導かれ遠い過去の中へと

想いはせる今は懐かしき
故郷に広がる景色
風に運ばれる木々の香りが
私の心を惑わせる

陽の光差す 暖かな場所
遠い空を眺めては
いつしか日が暮れ行く

鈴の音鳴り響き 草木がさざめく
穏やかにやさしく過ぎる
平和な日々にまどろむ

心に安らぎのひと時
あぁ 流れゆく

想いはせる今は懐かしき
故郷に広がる景色
夜空を飾る幾千の星が
家路への道を照らし出す

目を閉じれば蘇る景色
何一つ色あせずに
私の心を支え続ける
故郷に帰る日が来るまで…

やがて朝日が昇り
夢の中から目覚める

空へと羽ばたく鳥の群れが
旅の道を指し示す
そしてまた一步ずつ步き出す
まだ知らぬ世界を目指して

目を閉じれば蘇る景色
何一つ色あせずに
私の心を支え続ける
故郷に帰る日が来るまで…

Translation

I rest my legs during this long journey.
I looked up and the red evening sun was setting.

The landscape was reddened by the colours of sunset.
It woke up my memories sleeping in storage.

My consciousness was guided to the distant past.

I think back and feel nostalgic
for the landscape stretching out before my hometown.
The scent of trees carried by the wind
leads my heart astray.

The sun shines on this warm spot.
I gaze at the distant sky
and, unawares, the sun sets.

The bell rings and the plants murmur.
I pass the time calmly and peacefully.
I doze off during peaceful days.

There’s a moment of tranquillity in my heart.
Ah, it flows away.

I think back and feel nostalgic
for the landscape stretching out before my hometown.
The thousands of stars decorating the night sky
light the path back home.

When I close my eyes, I recall that landscape.
It has lost none of its colours.
It will continue to support my heart
until I can return to my hometown…

Soon, at last, the morning sun will rise
and I will awaken from my dream.

The flock of birds flying up to the sky
marks my journey’s path.
And so, I start walking again, step by step
as I aim for a world I haven’t seen yet.

When I close my eyes, I recall that landscape.
It has lost none of its colours.
It will continue to support my heart
until I can return to my hometown…
