Paroles et traduction Maiko Fujita - ただいま

ただいま

久しぶりのこの町は 相変わらず静かで
小学校の向かい側 よく通ったあの店は
降ろされたシャッターに くたびれた貼り紙
時間とともに記憶まで こうしてかすれていくのかな
懐かしい風景 大好きな人
どうかそのままで 変わらないでいてよ
会えるまでは嬉ししくて 一緒に過ごせばまた
別れが淋しいだけで なのにたった一時
ここへ帰ってきて よかったのかな
あの街にも少しずつ 慣れてきたよ だからね
心配せずに見ていてね 何度も言葉にしてみるよ
忙しい毎日 溢れ返る人
苦しくなるぐらい 夜景のきれいな街
雑踏をくぐり抜けて 家に帰ればいつも
真っ暗な部屋がそこに いつからだろう気付けば
ただいまも 言わなくなっていた
人はどこにいたって 淋しいのかもしれない
でもドアを開けたら 「おかえり」声がしたから
会えるまでは嬉ししくて 一緒に過ごせばまた
別れが淋しいだけで でもね きっと私は
ここへ帰ってきて よかったんだ
何回でも言いたいよ 「ただいま」って 「おかえり」って
また帰ってくるからね その時までがんばるから
また言わせてよ 「ただいま」

I'm Home

This familiar town is still as quiet as ever
The store across from the elementary school that I often went to
Now has a weathered sign on its lowered shutter
With the passage of time, will my memories also fade like this?
Nostalgic scenery, people I love
Please stay just as you are, don't change
Until the day we meet again, I'm filled with joy, but when we're together
Parting will just make me sad again, and yet, for just a little while
Was it a good idea to come back here?
I've gradually gotten used to that city too, so
Don't worry, and just watch over me, I will tell you again and again
Busy everyday life, overflowing with people
A city with beautiful夜景 enough to make my heart ache
After weaving through the hustle and bustle, when I finally get home
There's always a pitch-black room waiting for me, since when, I don't know, but
I had stopped saying "I'm home"
Perhaps people are lonely no matter where they are
But when I opened the door, a voice said, "Welcome home," so
Until the day we meet again, I'm filled with joy, but when we're together
Parting will just make me sad again, but you see, I probably
Made the right decision to come back here
I want to say it as many times as I can, "I'm home," and "Welcome home"
I'll come back again, so until then, I'll do my best
Let me say it again, "I'm home"
