Tokyo Michikusa (“Loitering On the Way Home in Tokyo”)

“Loitering in Tokyo on the way home, days of youth—ah, I walk on.”

OR: Looking back on a difficult day and unwinding on the way home.

「monosugoku genki da yo」to inaka no minna no yasashii koe

“You’re incredibly cheerful and full of energy” The kind voice of everyone from back in the countryside says

makenaide    egao de kaesu shinpai nanka    sasenu yo ni

Don’t give in    I’ll go home with a smile So that I don’t cause any worry

namida no shurui wo iroiro oboeta

I’ve learned various different kinds Of tears

nandemo hanaseru hito wo hitori tsukuri nasai to… chiisana koro kara zutto kiite kita kotoba

“Find a single person who You can talk to about anything”… Those are words I’ve always heard, Ever since I was small

Tokyo michikusa wakaki hibi aa    aruiteru aa    aruiteru

Loitering in Tokyo on the way home, days of youth Ah, I walk on Ah, I walk on

nanige no nai yuugata demo mainichi onnaji nioi ja nai

It’s just a regular evening, but It doesn’t smell the same as the usual everyday

kaimono wo suru tsumori de eiga wo miru hi mo aru wa

There are also days where you plan on going shopping And end up watching a movie instead

haru natsu aki fuyu deai ni    wakare ni

Spring, summer, fall, winter In meeting and parting

aite no ki wo kangaete yasashiku arinasai to… sono ki de yattekita keredo madamada deshou ka

“Think of the other party’s feelings And be kind”… I’ve come this far with that attitude, but I still have a long way to go, don’t I?

Tokyo michikusa wakaki hibi aa    aruiteru aa    aruiteru
