Ii Hi Tabidachi
Momoe Yamaguchi
A Good Day to Depart
As the snow melts, I face the northern sky
Shouting out dreams of the days that have passed
Those who won't return, their hearts heavy with longing
At least today, I set out alone on my journey
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There are people waiting for me
A good day to depart, searching for the sunset
The song I heard on my mother's back, guiding my way
In the fields of the harvest, the boys are fishing
Will I return through the narrow paths of blue grass?
From now on, I’ll create memories
With the sun setting, I plan to write my farewell
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There are people waiting for me
A good day to depart, searching for the flock of sheep
The song my father taught me, guiding my way
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There are people waiting for me
A good day to depart, searching for happiness
The song I sang as a child, guiding my way
