帰っておいで
JITTERIN' JINN Lyrics

おじさんお願い
An old man is being politely requested

つまらないお話は
To please leave dull conversation till tomorrow

明日にして欲しい
And refrain from discussing it today, since one is already tired

今日はもう疲れたわ
Feeling exhausted after today's activities

woh...
An expression of feeling or emotion

重たい足どり
Walking with heavy footsteps due to tiredness

コンビニの袋下げ
Holding a heavy convenience store bag

ポストをのぞけば
Peek inside the postbox

彼氏からのお便り
And find a letter from one's boyfriend

woh...
An expression of feeling or emotion

"どうだ元気にしてるか
The letter reads, 'Hey, how are you doing these days?

僕は元気でやってる
I'm doing well.

お城の上の桜も
Even the cherry blossoms atop the castle walls

もうつぼみがついたよ
Are starting to bloom.

都会の暮らしの中じゃ
Living in the city

疲れることもあるだろう
Can really wear a person out, you know?

そんなに遠くないんだ
But it's really not that far away,

たまに帰っておいで"
So why don't you come home from time to time?'

おばさんお願い
Auntie is being asked politely

そんなに怒らないでよ
To please not be so angry

さっさと帰って
And to go home soon

ハイヒールをぬぎたい
Since one wants to take off high-heels.

woh...
An expression of feeling or emotion

重たい体で
With a heavy body

せまいお風呂に入って
Entering a cramped bathtub

瞳を閉じれば
Closing one's eyes

彼氏の笑顔が浮かぶ
And recalling the smile of one's boyfriend

woh...
An expression of feeling or emotion

"レンゲの花が咲いたら
Thinking, 'When the yellow flowers bloom,

二人でいつも出かけた
We always used to go there together.

あの野原も全然
That meadow is just the same

今でも変わらないよ
As it was before, even now.

都会の暮らしの中で
Living in the city as one does

流されそうになったら
When one feels as though they're being swept away

夢の中でもいいから
It would be nice to come back here, even just in dreams,

ここに帰っておいで"
'So why don't you come home now?"

電話の途中で
While in the middle of a phone conversation

泣き出すのが怖くて
Feeling scared to start crying

テレフォンカードを
Returning the phone card

財布の中に戻した
Back into one's wallet

woh...
An expression of feeling or emotion

夜中に目が覚め
Waking up in the middle of the night

切なくなる事がある
Sometimes feeling melancholic

本当は今すぐ
Truthfully, right at this moment

故郷に帰りたい
Wanting to return to one's home town

woh...
An expression of feeling or emotion

"どうだ元気にしてるか
The letter reads, 'Hey, how are you doing these days?

僕は元気でやってる
I'm doing well.

お城の上の桜も
Even the cherry blossoms atop the castle walls

もうつぼみがついたよ
Are starting to bloom.

ここに帰っておいで
"Come back home now,"

帰っておいで"
"come back home."
