Ayaka Lyrics Lyrics & Translations Home

Okaeri (Welcome Home)

Ayaka

This is the theme song of the drama Zettai Kareshi. This drama made me cry like crazy, especially at the end, and romanising and translating the song had me crying all over again. Very, very beautiful song.

English

Welcome home, sweet home
Thank you for giving me a home, yeah, and your love

Once again I pretend I don't care
Blot out the colours of my sadness and smile
I know how important it is to trust you
But when it really matters, I start to have doubts

When this feeling runs through my empty body
I feel like I'm floating
But I want to hold you
This feeling inspires me 

Welcome home, I'm home
Those words are all it takes to make me feel content
Welcome home, sweet home
Thank you for giving me a home, yeah, and your love
Sweet home

I thought that those adults who only thought about themselves
Weren't playing fair
But I've finally realised that there are people who are screaming out loud
That they're doing all they can to change

There is not one happiness in this world that can be taken for granted
You've made me think that
This feeling inspires me 

Welcome home, I'm home
My days are getting faster
Welcome home, sweet home
This scenery won't change, it'll always be there
Sweet home

The scars in my heart
From searching and losing
The reason I was able to turn them into the strength to face everything
Was because I had that "Welcome home"

Welcome home, I'm home
Those words are all it takes to make me feel content
Welcome home, sweet home
Thank you for giving me a home, yeah, and your love
Sweet home

Welcome home, I'm home
It's OK, I've got you
Welcome home, sweet home
Wait for me, I'll be there soon
Sweet home
