HOME IS CALLING



HOME
by Angela Aki

Sensai na ito de soboku na
Machi ni shibari dukerareteta goro
Miageru tabi ni sora wa utsushita,
Haruka ni tooi sekai wo
Chiisana basho wo ato ni shitekara
Dorekurai mou tatsu no darou
Home is calling

Furusato kokoro no naka de ima demo
Yasashiku hibiiteru
Sabishi sa ga shimi tsuita
Yume no nai yoru ni wa
Anata wo yonde iru

Tokai no sora ni yume wo takushite
Kokoro wo gisei ni shiteru
Yashin to ai no chouwa ga torezu
Daremo ga samayotte iru
Kazara nakatta seijitsu na hibi
Kono goro naze ka koishiku omou
Home is calling

Furusato taezu ni aishitekureta
Sonna hito no kao wo
Mou ichido mite mitai,
Kyoushuu ni karare
Anata wo yonde iru

Kako to ima no aida no tobari wo
Sotto hiraite miru to
Sora no wareme kara koboreru hikari ga
Meguru jidai wo sashite ita
Home is calling

Furusato kokoro no naka de ima demo
Yasashiku hibiku yo
Todomaru koto wo shira nai kibou ni
Mi wo makasete ite mo
Sabishi saga shimi tsuita
Yume no nai yoru ni wa
Anata wo yonde iru
Home is always calling out my name

Sabishi sa ga shimi tsuita
Yume no nai yoru ni wa
Anata wo yonde iru
Furusato wo yonde iru


Translation:

A delicate thread ties me to
that simple village from back then
Every time I look up to the sky,
I see a shimmer of that far away world
After I leave this place, how long will it be until I pass it again?
Home is calling

Even now my home is gently
echoing throughout my heart
On dreamless nights
when I feel blue and lonelyI call out for you

People sacrifice their hearts
entrusting the city’s sky with their dreams
Everyone wanders around
unable to get peace from love or ambition
Why did take me so long to realize that I
loved those innocent pure days from back then
Home is calling

The faces of the people back home
constantly gave me the love I needed
Oh I’d love to see them once more,
Giving in to my homesickness
I call out for you

As I quietly open the curtain
seperating the past and present
a light shines throught a rift in the clouds
illuminating the passing time
Home is calling

Even now my home is gently
echoing throughout my heart
I entrust my body to hope,
letting nothing stand in my way
On dreamless nights
when I feel blue and lonely
I call out for you
Home is always calling out my name

On dreamless nights
when I feel blue and lonely
I call out for you
Home is calling out my name
