Translation of the song 故郷へ artist Aki Yashiro

流されて　流されて

Spilling, spilling

ひとり傷ついて

I hurt myself alone

浮きぐさのように

Like a floating weed

いつか馴染んだ　夜の川

Someday I got used to the night river

帰りたいけど　帰れない

I want to return but I can't

うぶなむかしは　遠すぎる

The old innocent days passed by

ああ故郷(ふるさと)へ今日も　汽車が出てゆく

Today a train is leaving to my hometown

恋をして　恋をして

Falling in love, falling in love

そして捨てられて

And then being dumped

どうにでもなれと

Thinking Do whatever you want

酒におぼれた　夜もある

There are nights I drown in alcohol

よわい女に　なったのか

Have I became a weak woman?

過去をふりむく　この私

I turn my head to the past

ああ故郷は青い　海のある町

My hometown is a town with a blue sea

淋しくて　淋しくて

Alone, alone

細く身も痩せて

My slim body gets thin

それなのに今日も

And yet, today

うかれ化粧の　紅をひく

I draw the lipstick that makes me merry

他人ばかりの　盛り場で

There are only strangers on the busy streets

生きるささえは　ただひとつ

My support for living is only one

ああ故郷へ帰る　夢があるから

Because I dream of returning to my hometown
