 cannot leave our tiny sweet hometown

 where we grew up

after play with friends till muddy  

look into the moon which reflected on the water

hard rain soaked roof

 radioactive run rainwater guttering

 soak garden  soak shoes

and .. soaked his baseball

let our children get away to somewhere far from here at least ...

grand mother told me this story many many times

all of children who live here knows this gentle story

 let our children get away to somewhere far from here at least 

hard to leave from our beloved town

decided to live here, this town

 under cherry blossom we smiled each other as there were nothing happened let our children get away to somewhere far from here at least 

somewhere far from here

want to get away...

cannot leave our tiny sweet hometown

cannot leave our tiny sweet hometown

cannot leave our tiny sweet hometown
