Текст и перевод песни Hideaki Tokunaga - 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 for Travel

As the snow melts and the northern sky draws near,
It's time to call out to the dreams of days gone by.
Those who have passed on, their warm hearts stir,
So I embark on a solitary journey, starting today.

Oh, somewhere in Japan,
There is someone waiting for me.
On this fine day, I set out in search of the sunset,
With the song I heard on my mother's back as my guide...

On the edge of the cape, a young boy fishes,
Will he return along the path of blue reeds?
I am now creating memories,
Writing "farewell" in the sand with a withered branch.

Oh, somewhere in Japan,
There is someone waiting for me.
On this fine day, I set out in search of cumulus clouds,
With the song my father taught me as my guide...

Oh, somewhere in Japan,
There is someone waiting for me.
On this fine day, I set out in search of happiness,
With the song I sang as a child as my guide...
