Furusato (ふるさと) – Arashi

[Romanized:]

Yuugure semaru sora ni kumo no kisha mitsuketa
Natsukashii nioi no machi ni kaeritaku naru
Hitamuki ni toki wo kasane omoi wo tsumugu hito tachi
Hitori hitori no egao ga ima boku no soba ni

Meguri aitai hito ga soko ni iru yasashisa hirogete matteiru
Yama mo kaze mo umi no iro mo ichiban sunao ni nareru basho
Wasurerarenai uta ga soko ni aru te to te wo tsunaide kuchizusamu
Yama mo kaze mo umi no iro mo koko wa furusato

Asayake iro no sora ni matataku hoshi hitotsu
Chiisana hikari ga terasu ooinaru yuuki
Nanigenai hibi no naka ni ashita no tane wo sagaseba
Hajimari no kane ga hibiku ima kimi no tame ni

Ame furu hi ga aru kara niji ga deru kurushimi nuku kara tsuyoku naru
Susumu michi mo yume no chizu mo subete wa kokoro no naka ni aru
Tasuke aeru tomo to no omoide wo itsumademo taisetsu ni shitai
Susumu michi mo yume no chizu mo sore wa furusato

Meguri aitai hito ga soko ni iru yasashisa hirogete matteiru
Yama mo kaze mo umi no iro mo ichiban sunao ni nareru basho
Wasurerarenai uta ga soko ni aru te to te wo tsunaide kuchizusamu
Yama mo kaze mo umi no iro mo kimi wa furusato
Boku no furusato
Koko wa furusato

[Japanese:]

夕暮れ迫る空に 雲の汽車見つけた
なつかしい匂いの町に 帰りたくなる
ひたむきに時を重ね 想いをつむぐ人たち
ひとりひとりの笑顔が いま 僕のそばに

巡りあいたい人がそこにいる やさしさ広げて待っている
山も風も海の色も いちばん素直になれる場所
忘れられない歌がそこにある 手と手をつないで口ずさむ
山も風も海の色も ここはふるさと

朝焼け色の空に またたく星ひとつ
小さな光が照らす 大いなる勇気
何気ない日々の中に 明日の種を探せば
始まりの鐘が響く いま 君のために

雨降る日があるから虹が出る 苦しみぬくから強くなる
進む道も夢の地図も すべては心の中にある
助け合える友との思い出を いつまでも大切にしたい
進む道も夢の地図も それはふるさと

巡りあいたい人がそこにいる やさしさ広げて待っている
山も風も海の色も いちばん素直になれる場所
忘れられない歌がそこにある 手と手をつないで口ずさむ
山も風も海の色も 君のふるさと
僕のふるさと
ここはふるさと

[English translation:]

In the sky, evening is drawing near I found a train of clouds there
Suddenly I want to go back to that city with the smells familiar to me
People earnestly pass the time, their feelings weaving together
Now, I feel each of their smiles close to me

People you want to meet are there spreading their kindness, they’re waiting for you
The mountains, the wind, and the color of the sea it’s the place I can be the most honest
Stories that won’t be forgotten are there holding hands, we hum a song
The mountains, the wind, and the color of the sea this is my hometown

In the colors of the morning glow in the sky, there’s a single twinkling star
Its small light shines on a large courage inside
If we search for the seeds of tomorrow within these carefree days
The bell of a new beginning will sound for you now

Because there are days when it rains, a rainbow appears because we overcome hardships, we become stronger
The path that I’ll walk on and the map that leads to my dream, they are both in my heart
I want to treasure forever the memories of friends that help me
The path that I’ll walk on and the map that leads to my dreams that is my hometown

People you want to meet are there spreading their kindness, they’re waiting for you
The mountains, the wind, and the color of the sea it’s the place I can be the most honest
Stories that won’t be forgotten are there holding hands, we hum a song
The mountains, the wind, and the color of the sea this is your hometown
My hometown
This is our hometown
