Translation of the song 帰省 ～Never Forget～ artist Akina Nakamori

深い眠りの中　今は遠いあなた

In the middle of a deep sleep, now you're away

古い愛の歌を　とぎれず唄ってた

I was singing restlessly an old love song

絶望の淵でも　眠れぬ夜でも

Despite the abyss of hopelessness and the sleepless nights

その先の明日を信じ合えたはずなのに

I hoped we believe in tomorrow after that

雪を　雪を見たかった

I wanted to see the snow

真っ白な雪を　知らない二人

The white snow we don't know

疲れを知らない　時間は駆け足

Time runs fast without knowing fatigue

春と夏を過ぎて　その先はない

Spring and summer passed, there's nothing after that

輝いてたはずの　自由に迷うとき

I hoped to shine when I was lost in freedom

都会の空の下　鳥は居場所なくしてた

The birds lost their home under the city sky

叶わぬ夢　他の誰かじゃなく

An impossible dream isn't somebody else

今は背中　まだ見せないで

Don't show me your back now

唄い続けてる限り　同じ道を歩いたあなたへ

I'll keep singing to you who walked the same road

このかすれた声消えるまで

Until my hoarse voice fades

Ah　夢を愛を唄うの　

Ah, I'll sing about loves and dreams

祈りたい　届けたい人いる限り

I want to pray until there's someone who wants to reach me

せめて今を恥じないで　負けないで生きているだから

Because after all I live without giving up nor feeling ashamed

同じ夢過ごした日々を忘れない

I won't forget the same dreams nor the past days

今夜も眠れず　街は冷たい月

Tonight I can't sleep, the city has a cold moon

語り合った夢も　ぬくもりもない

There's no warmth nor dreams that we've told

うつろう昨日は　果てしない明日へ

The yesterday becomes and endless tomorrow

抱きしめた体も　凍えてゆくばかり

My embraced body only gets frozen

折れた翼　もとに戻せるなら

If my broken wings could recover

二人の夢も　また変わるのに

Our dreams would change

追いかけて行くから　いつも微笑んでいたあなたを

Because I'd chase you who always smiled

この曇った空　晴れるまで

Until this cloudy sky clear up

Ah　遠く一人唄うの　

Ah, I'll sing about a distant person

雪が降る　誰もいないこの街で

In this desert city where snow falls

過去じゃなく明日じゃなく　今を唄い続ける限り

While I keep singing without past nor future

その瞳　歩いた道を忘れない

I won't forget the road your eyes walked

Ah　夢を愛を唄うの　

Ah, I'll sing about loves and dreams

祈りたい　届けたい人いる限り

I want to pray until there's someone who wants to reach me

せめて今を恥じないで　負けないで生きているだから

Because after all I live without giving up nor feeling ashamed

同じ夢過ごした日々を忘れない

I won't forget the same dreams nor the past days
