Today, in this sunlight-flooded atelier
I pick up my paintbrush again
And throughout the day, I forget about everything else
Even though I'm by myself...
Mon lapin, these red poppy flowers that you
Decorated the windowsill with are swaying in the breeze
And this beautiful townscape
I love the twilight that overlooks it
The café my friends and I gather at
Is filled with bustle and laughter
And yet, why am I now remembering
The hometown that I cast aside?
I turned my back to escape
From that now distant, foreign country
For it is only in that place
That I would unable to paint
If I close my eyes, I can see
Those faultless people
Still continuing to call out my name
Just like you...
Mon amour, I love
Those night sky-colored eyes of yours
And in the quiet noir
The stars light up on your dark canvas
The scenery that I truly want to paint
Is sleeping within the depths of my heart
Surely you
Will also understand?
In that place where sorrows don't exist
The gentleness of the things that have passed
Have mixed together with the light
Becoming the colors of my paints
Ah, I'm going to travel
To that foreign country I've never seen
Where your young boy self used to play
And smile...
In that place where sorrow no longer exists
No matter where I am
I am engulfed
By nostalgia for the days that have passed
Hey, please take me
If it's alright with you
To the place where this life I embrace quietly grew
To the hometown of you, my beloved one...
