いい日旅立ち [Ii hi tabidachi] [English translation]

Over the sky, in the North, where snows melt

As I release my dreams of the past

The memory of my missing flits through my hot heart

It's today that all alone, I'm setting off a trip

Ah, somewhere in Japan, someone's waiting for me

Departure on a fine day, in search of dusk

Taking away with me the song I used to hear on my mother's back

At the edge of the cape, a boy is fishing

Will he come back via the green grass lane?

In order to form my first memories

I'm going to write "good-bye" on the sand with a piece of wood

Ah, somewhere in Japan, someone's waiting for me

Departure on a fine day, in search of sheep clouds

Taking away with me the song I knew from my father

Ah, somewhere in Japan, someone's waiting for me

Departure on a fine day, in search of happiness

Taking away with me the song I used to sing as a child
