Ii Hi Tabidachi
Momoe Yamaguchi
A Journey Begins
As the snow melts, I look up to the northern sky
Shouting out dreams of days gone by
Memories of those who won't return, they cross my mind
At least from today, I'm setting out on my own
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There’s someone waiting for me
A good day to depart, searching for the sunset
With the song I heard on my mother's back as my companion
At the edge of the cape, a boy is fishing
Will he return down the blue grass path?
I’m about to create new memories
Writing "goodbye" in the sand with a dead branch
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There’s someone waiting for me
A good day to depart, searching for the sheep clouds
With the song my father taught me as my companion
Ah, somewhere in Japan
There’s someone waiting for me
A good day to depart, searching for happiness
With the song I sang as a child as my companion
