Текст и перевод песни Noriyuki Makihara - 遠く遠く

遠く遠く

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うに
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

Far, Far Away

Even though we are far, far apart
So that you can understand me
With all my might, I want to shine
On that day, I'll welcome you in this city
The cherry blossoms in Gaien are in full bloom
When this time comes, I always
Recall the invisible snowstorm of cherry blossoms
That danced on the Shinkansen platform
Like the time of the Seven-Five-Three Festival
Even my awkward suit
Now looks somewhat decent on me
I can even choose a tie well
The invitation to the class reunion
I circled "Absent"
To everyone who writes to me, saying
"I'm worried about whether you're well."
Even though we are far, far apart
So that you can understand me
With all my might, I want to shine
On that day, I'll welcome you in this city
When you said over the payphone in the middle of the night,
"You can always come back,"
I smiled and
I've been able to get this far
Even from the tallest tower
My hometown can't be seen
I must never lose the things
That I always hold dear in my heart
In a city far, far away
I'm living my life to the fullest
What's important is "to change"
As well as "to stay the same"
The invitation to the class reunion
I circled "Absent"
More than anyone, I want to see everyone's faces now,
But
Even though we are far, far apart
So that you can understand me
With all my might, I want to shine
On that day, I'll welcome you in this city
I've decided that this city
Is where I will fulfill my dream
