Kaerimichi

Here, go right, then, go left
Oh, no matter which way I go
I end up nowhere, how bothersome!

Right and left, left and right
Through the bus window
Don't put your arms or legs

There, go left, soon, turn right
Oh, no matter what we do
In the end we end up the same

After sun comes clouds
And so in some places
Sometimes it looks like rain

If you just keep on stopping on the way
Before you know
The day will end
Even the year will end
And you'll be left perplexed!

My tummy is growling, so let's return
Let's return straight home
And in times when my heart is lost
I'll use that smile as a guide

Let's join our hands and return
Together, let's return home
I'm sure our destination is always there
And with you, I'll discover it

Even if the way is roundabout
It's actually not roundabout at all!

Here, go left, again, go left
Oh, as we keep turning like this
My eyes begin to spin

Look to your right, now, look to your left
Now, one more time, to the right and to the left
It's an infinite loop

Keep going left, now finally, turn right
Hey, telling me to go this way and that
It's a bit annoying, you know?

We're pretending that the way is curved
Maybe in reality the road ahead
Is actually straight

If you just keep on stopping on the way
Before you know
The day will end
Even the year will end
And you'll be left perplexed!

My tummy is growling, so let's return
Let's return straight home
And in times when my heart is lost
I'll use that smile as a guide

Let's join our hands and return
Together, let's return home
I'm sure our destination is always there
And with you, I'll discover it

Even if the way is roundabout
It's actually not roundabout at all!

And the thing I'm searching for
I actually found a long time ago, but
Somehow or another, now
I'm still searching like this
Until I get sleepy
Just a little more!

My tummy is growling, so let's return
Let's return straight home
And in times when my heart is lost
I'll use that smile as a guide

Let's join our hands and return
Together, let's return home
I'm sure our destination is always there
And with you, I'll discover it

Even if the way is roundabout
This special road

Even if the way is roundabout
It's actually not roundabout at all!
