TRANSLATION LYRICS

I want to give all my strength

And greet a shining day in this town

So that you’ll know how I’m getting on

Even if we're far, far apart

Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in the garden

They always are at this time of year

I remember the invisible snow storm of flowers

That danced on the platform at the Shinkansen station

It's like the 7-5-3 festival

Even this uncomfortable suit

Looks kind of good on me now

I've even gotten good at picking out ties

On my invite to the class reunion

I circled “Will not attend”

To all of you who wrote to me

Saying “I’m worried about whether you’re OK”

I want to give all my strength

And greet a shining day in this town

So that you’ll know how I’m getting on

Even if we're far, far apart

When you said “You can come back any time”

On the payphone at midnight

It made me smile

And that’s how I’ve managed to make it this far

No matter how high a tower I go up

I can’t see my hometown

I’m always holding in my heart

Something I can't lose

In a town far, far away

I’m doing well

What’s important

Is "changing"

And "staying the same"

On my invite to the class reunion

I circled “Will not attend”

Though I really want to see everyone's faces now

More than anything

I want to give all my strength

And greet a shining day in this town

So that you’ll know how I’m getting on

Even if we're far, far apart

Because I’ve decided that this town

Is where I can make my dreams come true.

KANJI LYRICS

遠く遠く離れていても

僕のことがわかるように

力いっぱい 輝ける日を

この街で迎えたい

外苑の桜は咲き乱れ

この頃になるといつでも

新幹線のホームに舞った

見えない花吹雪思い出す

まるで七五三の時のよに

ぎこちないスーツ姿も

今ではわりと似合うんだ

ネクタイも上手く選べる

同窓会の案内状

欠席に丸をつけた

「元気かどうかしんぱいです。」と

手紙をくれるみんなに

遠く遠く離れていても

僕のことがわかるように

力いっぱい 輝ける日を

この街で迎えたい

いつでも帰ってくればいいと

真夜中の公衆電話で

言われたとき 笑顔になって

今までやってこれたよ

どんなに高いタワーからも

見えない僕のふるさと

失くしちゃだめなことをいつでも

胸に抱きしめているから

遠く遠く離れた街で

元気に暮らせているんだ

大事なのは

“変わってくこと”

“変わらずにいること”

同窓会の案内状

欠席に丸をつけた

だれよりも今はみんなの顔

見たい気持ちでいるけど

遠く遠く離れていても

僕のことがわかるように

力いっぱい 輝ける日を

この街で迎えたい

僕の夢をかなえる場所は

この街と決めたから
