いい日旅立ち

雪解け真近の 北の空に向い
過ぎ去りし日々の 夢を叫ぶとき
帰らぬ人達 熱い胸をよぎる
せめて今日から一人きり 旅に出る
ああ 日本のどこかに
私を待ってる人がいる
いい日旅立ち 夕焼けをさがしに
母の背中で聞いた歌を 道連れに

岬のはずれに 少年は魚つり
青いすすきの小径を 帰るのか
私は今から 想い出を創るため
砂に枯木で書くつもり"さよなら"と
ああ 日本のどこかに
私を待ってる人がいる
いい日旅立ち 羊雲をさがしに
父が教えてくれた歌を 道連れに

ああ 日本のどこかに
私を待ってる人がいる
いい日旅立ち 幸せをさがしに
子供の頃に歌った歌を 道連れに

I look up to the sky of the North where snow will melt soon
As I call out for the dreams from the days that have passed away
Faces of people who I will never see again come to my mind
So today I will be on the road by myself

Somewhere in Japan, someone special is waiting for me
Taking off on a fine day to look for a red sunset
With the song that I heard on my mother's back as my only company

On the tip of the cape, a boy is fishing
Will he take the pass with tall green grasses when he goes home
In order to make a memory
I will write "Goodbye" on the beach sand with a wooden stick

Somewhere in Japan, someone special is waiting for me
Taking off on a fine day to look for a cloud shaped like a sheep
With the song that my father taught me as my only company

Somewhere in Japan, someone special is waiting for me
Taking off on a fine day to look for my happiness
With the song that I sang in my childhood as my only company
