English Translation
What does that place need to have
Be called my hometown
It isn’t enough to just be there
Surely I don’t feel satisfied
I understood since I met you
It is not just a form
It is a bundle of piled up thoughts
No matter how far I travel
We have been connected
I understand you without words
Love is overflowing
The sound of you trying to walk quietly to not wake me while I sleep
No matter how many times I come home, what I want to hear is,
You saying “Okaeri”
The words you gave me
The body language you gave me
They flow through me like nutrition
They shaped me
I realised after we were apart
I was always watched over by you without realizing, anticipating
So I won’t get hurt
So I won’t become sad
Done secretly
Even if there are no embellishments, I will be next to you
It’s ok to be as you are
The way you panic when I am fussy
You are clumsy and big
Even after we get into a fight and I leap away
I know we will surely make up with the words ‘Tadaima”
The seasons flow by slowly
Even if there are more time where we can’t meet
As long are you are who you are
I understand you without words
Love is overflowing
The sound of you trying to walk quietly to not wake me while I sleep
I think about you when I am lonely
Though I won’t be fussy when we are apart anymore
But definitely
No matter how many times I come home, what I want to hear is,
You saying “Okaeri”
