When I close my eyes, I can see my hometown The faces of my family, the yellow flowers I'm going there again tonight in my dreams The whistle blows and the boat leaves I want to go home, but I can't, ah, but someday I will The channel is rough Wetting my pillow in a distant dream Don't cry, Mother I'm all right I send along a little money And an apology with this letter I'm living here in Tokyo Not giving in even when I feel like I'm being swept away I want to go home, but I can't, ah, but someday I will I want to be happy So I look up at the sky and steel myself You're weak, my sister Please don't catch a cold I want to go home, but I can't, ah, but someday I will It's so close, yet so far A distant dream that fills me with homesickness I'm sending my song and my tears As the boat leaves again today
