Kaette Koiyo

The rice fields sway in the countryside breeze
Left behind, sighing within the changing seasons
In the station waiting room, feeling run down
Ignoring everyone
Feeling melancholic
Feeling melancholic
I'm planning to leave anyway
Everyone in this town is like that
No room for hesitation
No room for doubt
Are you planning to abandon your hometown?
Don't worry, that's fine
Don't look back, don't stop

Flowers whispering at dawn, whether they bloom or not
Flowers whispering at dawn, whether they bloom or not
Flowers whispering at dawn, whether they bloom or not

The walls of the playground we played in as kids
The cracks in them left scars on us too
Guardrails, posts, fish flags
Everything in this town is rusty
Are there any beautiful memories left?
Not in my memory, just feeling defeated
Everyone says they hate this town
They decide to leave quickly

Come back home
Whether you show off or not
Come back home
Whether you show off or not

Your stubborn heart
Won't be crushed by a tram or anything
Studying, future, ambitions, human relationships
Tangled up like a subway map
If there's someone you can trust, that's good
If you find someone to love, even better
Loneliness isn't a bad thing, people are fragile
It's better to have someone to rely on

Pitch-black night
Pitch-black night
Remember where you were born
This year, the flowers bloomed again

The festival music that echoes in the distant square
Even if you're not here, summer will pass
Without notice, people look back at the shadows of the past
After the festival, darkness and silence fall
The beach is damaged by the battle of the elements
Seasons change, but the heart remains still
Just like when you left

Come back home
Whether you show off or not
Come back home
Whether you show off or not

The rapeseed flowers swaying in the wind
Even the guardrails have been rebuilt
Since then, this town has changed its appearance
The workplace is still the same
The young ones have all left
Even the park we used to play in is being destroyed this year

Even if your dreams come true, your heart aches
Even if it didn't work out, let's pretend it did
If we can laugh together, that's fine
We don't have to be brave, that's fine
Thinking of you walking in the valley of mist
I imagine your figure illuminated by the sun
If you're too busy, it can't be helped
Until you can understand, just be patient

Come back home
Whether you show off or not
Come back home
Whether you show off or not
Come back home
Come back home
Whether you show off or not
Come back home
Whether you show off or not
Come back home
Whether you show off or not
