Текст и перевод песни Tomiko Van - 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

So Far Away

So far away, even though we're apart
I want you to know how I am
I'll do my best to shine so bright
I want to achieve my dreams in this city

The cherry blossoms in Gaien are in full bloom
And around this time every year
I remember the cherry blossom petals
That swirled in the air at the Shinkansen station

Like when I was dressed up in a suit for Shichi-Go-San
Although my suit didn't fit me well back then
Now, I look pretty good in suits
And I've learned how to tie a tie

I got an invitation to a high school reunion
But I marked "absent"
I received letters saying
"We're worried about you. Are you okay?"

So far away, even though we're apart
I want you to know how I am
I'll do my best to shine so bright
I want to achieve my dreams in this city

You said, "You can always come back."
When I talked to you on a payphone in the middle of the night
Your words made me smile
And they've helped me to keep going

No matter how tall the tower is
I can't see my hometown
I will always keep the things that are important to me close to my heart
Because I can't afford to lose them

So far away in another city
I'm living my life to the fullest
What's important is
"To change"
"And to stay the same"

I got an invitation to a high school reunion
But I marked "absent"
More than anyone, I want to see your faces now
But my feelings are complicated

So far away, even though we're apart
I want you to know how I am
I'll do my best to shine so bright
I want to achieve my dreams in this city

I've decided to make my dreams come true
In this city
