[Translation]

I wanted to fill the hole in my heart so I pretended to be nice and smiled
First meetings and final farewells restlessly pile up on my shoulder.

I realize regrettably how hopeless I am and that's my loss
I can't be stronger so I closed my eyes and put up with it.

Look, I can see it now.

I want to go home now, back to the city where you wait for me
Give me a big wave hello and I'll return it just as big
I want to go home now, back to the house where you wait for me
I've got a story I want you to hear and I'll be glad if it makes you smile.

I'm sure I can't count everything that's precious to me
There might be days when I stumble but I won't cry anymore.

Look, I can see it now.

I want to tell you now, all about the tomorrow I see
I'm doing just fine, I'll keep telling you as long as it takes
I want to tell you now, all about my steadfast dream
I've got a story I want you to hear and I'll be glad if you nod your approval.

I want to go home now, back to the city where you wait for me
I'll grab that irreplaceable hand now and tell you once more
I want to go home now, back to the house where you wait for me
I've got a story I want you to hear and I'll be glad if it makes you smile.
