English Translation
Come home anytime you want
Because your place is right here
When things are difficult and you feel like you're going to to cry, come to see me right away
Even though we're this far apart
Don't forget that I'm looking out for you
We're still connected
I'm watching over you
Despite your looks, you easily catch a cold
But you're the biggest hardworker I know
And you're not the type to complain
Which is why I'll worry
You're not pushing yourself too hard, are you?
You're not forcing your smiles, are you?
If you're lonely, say you're lonely
If things are getting tough, then say so
But the truth is that even without words, I'll know if something's up
Even if it's just a casual E-mail, there'll be less smileys than usual
I'll be supporting you from afar as you try to make your dream come true,
But don't cry alone
When you cry, cry next to me
Come back anytime you want
Because your place is right here
When things are difficult and you want to cry, come to see me right away
Even though we're this far apart
Don't forget that I'm looking out for you
We're still connected
I'm watching over you
With your dream on your shoulders, you're leaving to walk your own path
That is definitely not a mistake
But this is the place you can always come back to and say "I'm home"
You'll want to see lots of people
Leave all those frustrating things behind
When you're tired, come back home
I'll prepare for your return right away
I'm not sure how good it'll taste, but how does a simple home-made meal sound?
I'll lend you my shoulder
Or we could just hang out and have fun
If I could get rid of a little bit of the sadness behind your smile...
Because if something's happened, I can tell without you having to say it
Come back anytime you want
There's nothing wrong with leaning on somebody else once in a while, right?
Remember that no matter who you are, you can't live life as if you're alone
I realized something one of the nights you were away
Turns out I'm in love with you after all
If you're doing well and can go on longer, that's fine
But if you begin to lose sight of yourself, then
With that same smile as on the day you left, say "I'm home"
And I'll smile too and say "Welcome back"
Come back anytime you want
There's nothing wrong with leaning on somebody else once in a while, right?
No matter who you are, you're never alone
Come home anytime you want
Because your place is right here
When things are difficult and you feel like you're going to to cry, come to see me right away
Even though we're this far apart
Don't forget that I'm looking out for you
We're still connected
I'm watching over you
Japanese
いつだって 帰っておいでよ 君の居場所はここにあるんだから
辛くて泣きたいときは まっすぐ僕に会いに来て
忘れないでね こんなに遠く離ればなれだけど
そっと そっと 見守っているんだよ つながっているんだよ 見守っているんだよ
君は見た目によらず風邪をひきやすい体質だけど
誰よりがんばり屋さん 弱音を吐かないから 逆に心配だな
ムリしていないかい? 笑顔で偽っていないかい?
さびしい時はさびしいと言って 辛い時は辛いと言って
でもね 本当は言葉なんて なくても分かるんだって
何気なく送るメールでも いつもより絵文字が少ないでしょ
君が叶えようとする夢を 遠くから応援してるけど
一人では泣かないで 泣くときは僕の隣で泣いて
いつだって 帰っておいでよ 君の居場所はここにあるんだから
辛くて泣きたいときは まっすぐ僕に会いに来て
忘れないでね こんなに遠く離ればなれだけど
そっと そっと 見守っているんだよ つながっているんだよ 見守っているんだよ
夢を背負って出ていく君 一人だけで歩いていく道
決して間違えってはないさ でも君がいつでもただいま
って言えるようなそんな場所 もっと見たいんだいろんな顔
煩わしい事を置いとおいて 疲れたら帰っておいで
すぐ用意しとくよ 美味いか分からないけど簡単な飯くらいは
肩の力を抜いて 笑って過ごそうよ こんな時くらいは
その笑顔の裏の悲しみも 少しでも消すことができるなら
何かあるって事 何も言わなくても分かるから
いつだって 戻っておいでよ 少しくらい寄りかかってもいいんじゃない?
どんな人だって 一人だけじゃ生きて行けないから
覚えていてね 君がいない夜に気づいたこと
やっぱ 僕は 君が好きなんだよ
もしもまだ頑張れるなら それでいい
でも自分を見失いそうになったら
旅立ったあの日の あの笑顔で「ただいま」って言ってよ
僕も笑顔で「おかえりなさい」って言うから
いつだって 戻っておいでよ 少しくらい寄りかかってもいいんじゃない?
どんな人だって 一人ぼっちじゃない
いつだって 帰っておいでよ 君の居場所はここにあるんだから
辛くて泣きたいときは まっすぐ僕に会いに来て
忘れないでね こんなに遠く離ればなれだけど
そっと そっと 見守っているんだよ つながっているんだよ 見守っているんだよ
