Angela Aki - “Home” (English Translation) lyrics

[Verse 1]
A delicate thread ties me to
That simple village from back then
Every time I look up to the sky
I see a shimmer of that far away world

[Pre-Chorus]
After I leave this place
How long will it be until I pass it again?
Home is calling

[Chorus]
Even now my home is gently echoing throughout my heart
On dreamless nights when I feel blue and lonely
I call out for you

[Verse 2]
People sacrifice their hearts
Entrusting the city’s sky with their dreams
Everyone wanders around
Unable to get peace from love or ambition

[Pre-Chorus]
Why did take me so long to realize that I
Loved those innocent pure days from back then
Home is calling
[Chorus]
The faces of the people back home
Constantly gave me the love I needed
Oh, I’d love to see them once more
Giving in to my homesickness
I call out for you

[Bridge]
As I quietly open the curtain
Separating the past and present
A light shines through a rift in the clouds
Illuminating the passing time
Home is calling

[Chorus]
Even now my home is gently
Echoing throughout my heart
I entrust my body to hope
Letting nothing stand in my way
On dreamless nights when I feel blue and lonely
I call out for you
Home is always calling out my name
On dreamless nights when I feel blue and lonely
I call out for you
Home is calling out my name
