いい日旅立ち
谷村新司作詞・作曲

雪解け間近の　北の空に向い
過ぎ去りし日々の夢を　叫ぶとき
帰らぬ人たち　熱い胸をよぎる
せめて今日から一人きり　旅に出る
ああ　日本のどこかに
私を待ってる　人がいる
いい日旅立ち　夕焼を探しに
母の背中で聞いた　歌を道連れに

岬のはずれに　少年は魚釣り
青いススキの小道を　帰るのか
私は今から　思い出を作るため
砂に枯木で書くつもり　さよならと
ああ　日本のどこかに
私を待ってる　人がいる
いい日旅立ち　ひつじ雲を探しに
父が教えてくれた　歌を道連れに

ああ　日本のどこかに
私を待ってる　人がいる
いい日旅立ち　幸せを探しに
子供の頃に歌った　歌を道連れに

Start off a nice day
(Translated by Sadao Mazuka)

I'm yelling to the north where soon will melt the snow
About my dreams already gone and never realized
With the memory of everyone in bygone nostalgia
I'm going on a journey alone for restart of my life
Ah,there will be someone that the most proper for me
Start off a nice day look for a nice evening glow
With the lullaby that I'd heard on the back of mother

At the head of the cape, a young boy fishing there
He will be coming back home through a path in grasses
I will sure make a new memory in my heart from now
So I am writing on the sand as “Good bye everyone”
Ah,there will be someone that the most proper for me
Start off a nice day look for a nice rainbow
With the song that I'd ever heard from my father

Ah,there will be someone that the most proper for me
Start off a nice day look for my certain happiness
With the song that I'd ever sung in childhood(2008.11.1)
