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

Sore wa kawara bu ki no yane to iimasu
Barukonii ja nakute engawa to iimasu
Sokode ojiichan obaachan wa
Bokura no kenkou wo negatte kureteru
Tamani wa ai ni kaerimashou
Tamani wa egao mise ni kaerimashou
Soba ni kawa ga nagare kudamono hatake
Kaeru no gasshou ya hotaru mo miraremasu
Kyou mo ojiichan obaachan wa
Bokura no shiawase wo negatte kureteru
Tamani wa ai ni kaerimashou
Tamani wa hanashi wo shi ni kaerimashou
Marude kuuki sae mo gochisou to omou
Shiranai hito doushi mo aisatsu kawashimasu
Zutto ojiichan obaachan wa
Bokura no furusato wo mamotte kureteru
Tamani wa ai ni kaerimashou
Tamani wa kata momishi ni kaerimashou
Tamani wa ai ni kaerimashou
Tamani wa egao mise ni kaerimashou

それは瓦ぶきの屋根といいます
バルコニーじゃなくて縁側といいます
そこで おじいちゃん おばあちゃんは
ボクらの 健康を願ってくれてる
たまには 会いに帰りましょう
たまには 笑顔見せに 帰りましょう
そばに川が流れ果物畑
カエルの合唱や ホタルも見られます
今日も おじいちゃん おばあちゃんは
ボクらの 幸せを願ってくれてる
たまには 会いに帰りましょう
たまには 話しをしに 帰りましょう
まるで空気さえもごちそうと思う
知らない人同志もあいさつ交します
ずっと おじいちゃん おばあぢゃんは
ボクらの ふるさとを守ってくれてる
たまには 会いに帰りましょう
たまには 肩モミしに 帰りましょう
たまには 会いに帰りましょう
たまには 笑顔見せに 帰りましょう

You are lucky that Ayu is so active. Us Aya fans have had a hard time the last year. Lol
