Текст и перевод песни Frank Nagai - いい日旅立ち

いい日旅立ち

雪解け 間近の 北の空に向い
過ぎ去りし日々の夢を 叫ぶ時
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

あゝ 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 少年は魚釣り
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

あゝ 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...

あゝ 日本のどこかに
私を 待ってる 人がいる
いい日 旅立ち 幸福をさがしに
子供の頃に歌った 歌を道連れに...

A Good Day to Depart

Facing the northern sky, where the snow is about to melt,
I shout out the dreams of bygone days.
Thoughts of those who won't return cross my burning chest.
At least from today, I'm embarking on a journey alone.

Ah, somewhere in Japan,
Someone is waiting for me.
A good day to depart, searching for the sunset,
With the song I heard on my mother's back as my companion...

At the edge of the cape, a boy is fishing.
Is he returning along the path of blue pampas grass?
From now on, I will create my own memories,
Writing "goodbye" in the sand with a withered branch.

Ah, somewhere in Japan,
Someone is waiting for me.
A good day to depart, searching for the scattered clouds,
With the song my father taught me as my companion...

Ah, somewhere in Japan,
Someone is waiting for me.
A good day to depart, searching for happiness,
With the song I sang as a child as my companion...
