English

Surrounded by a nostalgic intonation at the subway platform
How long has it been since I left? Every day is so hectic
That I don’t even have any time to stop and rest

At times when I feel like my heart is breaking apart
I’d recall this view, this smell, and the image of myself back then

Even if I am far, far away
“You can always come back,” it says
This town is always waiting to welcome me home
With its arms wide open

This place is my treasure, I can work hard because of it
I want to convey those words, I’m breaking out in tears

This place is so warm, I can feel my strength welling up
I’m not afraid of tall, towering buildings anymore

But sometimes I’d feel uneasy, and think that perhaps
This hand hasn’t gotten hold of anything yet
“I’m fine, don’t worry,” it’s becoming
A habit to say that, even at times when I’m not fine

Even if I am far, far away
“You can always come back,” it says
I can step out again because of those words
“Even your tears are your treasures”
“You can surely call them your treasures some day,” it says
The feelings that I’ve forgotten about
I’d hug on tight to these feelings in my heart now

I can go much, much further than this!
I can definitely get through this!
Believing in it, believing and always gazing at it, unchangingly

Even if
Even if I am far, far away
“You can always come back,” it says
This town is always waiting to welcome me home
With its arms wide open
Some day, when I am shining much, much more brightly
I will return home proudly, but for now
I’d be looking for new treasures in this new town
