LYRICS AND ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Sagasanakya ne Kimi no namida no furusato
     As you are searching, for your hometown of tears
Hoho wo tsutatte ochita shizuku ga Doko kara kita no ka wo
     You’ll soon find why they drop from your cheeks

Dekakerun da ne Sore ja koko de miokuru yo
     When you make your leave, i’ll be there to see you off
Tsuite iketara ureshiin dakedo Hitori de ikanakya ne
     I wish I could be there with you, but you have to do this alone

Ryukku no naka wa kara ni shita kana
     Though you carry nothing with you
Arekore tsumetara Omoi darou
     To hold something would prove too heavy
Sono nureta hoho ni Hibiita kotoba
     But through it all those words still echo
Sore dake de ii Kikoeta darou
     After all this time, you can still hear them

[Ref]
“Ai ni kita yo Ai ni kita yo Kimi ni ai ni kitan da yo
     I’ve come, I’ve come, I’ve come here to see you
Kimi no kokoro no uchigawa kara Sotogawa no sekai made
     From the inside of your heart, To the outside world
Boku wo shitte hoshikute Kitan da yo”
     I’ve come because I want to know you

Mitsukenakya ne Kieta namida no ashiato
     They seemed to have disappeared, but your tears of love are still here
Kare no aruita michi wo sakasama ni Tadoreba tsuku hazu sa
     If you trace your steps back, I’m sure you’ll see it too

Mitsumenakya ne Donna sabishii sora demo
     Though the skies ahead, seem dark and gray
Kare mo mite kita Sora dato shireba Hitori ja nai hazu sa
     It’s the same sky we both look at, so you’re never alone
     
Nigete kita bun dake kyori ga aru no sa
     As you ran, the gap grew bigger
Guchiru na yo Jigoujitoku darou
     It was never your fault, it’s alright
Mokutekichi wa yoku Shitteru basho sa
     Your destination is a place, you already know
Wakaranai no kai Joudan darou
     Don’t ever kid yourself, You’ve always known

[Ref]
“Ai ni kita yo Ai ni kita yo Kiechau mae ni kitan da yo
     I’ve come, I’ve come, I’ve come before you leave
Kimi no namida no furusato kara Toozakaru sekai made
     From your hometown of tears, to the distant world
Kimi ni shitte hoshikute Kitan da yo”
     I’ve come because I want you to know me

[...]

Touchaku da yo hora oboeteru kana
     Do you remember when you first arrived?
Itsuka tsuita kizu ga aru darou
     There seems to be more then there was before
Kimi no namida ga umaresodatta furusato ga aru darou…
     This is the place where your tears had fallen…

Atarashii shizuku ga koboreta yo
     New drops have fallen
Naoranai kizu wo nurashita yo
     Healing wounds they fall on
Subete wa kono tame Kono toki no tame
     Everything is for this, for this very moment
Totemo nagai tabi wo koete
     Everything was because of this journey

[Ref]
“Ai ni kita yo Ai ni kita yo Kiechau mae ni kitan da yo
     I’ve come, I’ve come, I’ve come before you leave
Kesenai kokoro no uchigawa kara Toozakaru sekai made
     From the inside of your unshakable heart, to all of the distant worlds
Chanto mite hoshikute”
     I’ve come because I want you to see

“Ai ni kita yo Ai ni kita yo Kimi ni ai ni kitan da yo
     I’ve come, I’ve come, I’ve come here to see you
Kimi no namida no furusato kara Kawakikitta sekai made
     From your hometown of tears. To the dry, distant world
Boku wo shitte hoshikute …
     Because I want you to know me …
Kimi wo shitte hoshikute Kitan da yo”
     Because I want to know you, I’ve come

Warawanaide ne Ore mo zutto matteru yo
     Smile, i’ll always be here waiting
Wasurenaide ne Kaeru basho ga aru koto wo
     But don’t ever forget, you’ll always have a place to come back
