That is a roof made of ceramic tiles
It’s not a balcony, but a veranda
There, an old man and an old lady
Are praying for our health
Once in a while, let’s go back to visit them
Once in a while, let’s go back to show them our smiles
Nearby, a stream flows through an orchard
You can hear the frogs singing and see the fireflies
Today too, the old man and the old lady
Are praying for our happiness
Once in a while, let’s go back to visit them
Once in a while, let’s go back to chat with them
It feels as if even the air is enough to fill us up
When we exchange greeting with new comrades
Always, the old man and the old lady
Are protecting our hometown
Once in a while, let’s go back to visit them
Once in a while, let’s go back to give them a shoulder massage
Once in a while, let’s go back to visit them
Once in a while, let’s go back to show them our smiles
