Japanese	Romanized Japanese	English Translation
ねえ夢の中でまぶたの裏に何を描いたの	Nee yume no naka de mabuta no ura ni nani o egaita no	Hey, what do you see unfold behind your eyelids when you dream?
ねえ声をほどいてつつみこむような月明かりの下で	Nee koe o hodoite tsutsumi komu you na tsuki akari no shita de	And hey, let your voice ring out under the all-encompassing moonlight.

眠ってるあなたの髪の流れをなぞって	Nemutteru anata no kami no nagare o nazotte	Running my fingers through your hair as you sleep, I wonder
あと何度触れられるのでしょうか	Ato nando furerareru no deshou ka	How many more times will I be able to do this?

楽しいことがありますように	Tanoshii koto ga arimasu you ni	May you always have fun times.
寂しいおもいをしませんように	Samishii omoi o shimasen you ni	May you never have lonely thoughts.
大切な友達ができますように	Taisetsu na tomodachi ga dekimasu you ni	May you be able to make precious friends.
ただいまとおかえりでずっとつながってるよ	Tadaima to okaeri de zutto tsunagatteru yo	We'll always be connected by "I'm home" and "Welcome back."

ねえ明日の朝お弁当作ってどこか出かけよう	Nee ashita no asa obentou tsukutte doko ka dekakeyou	Hey, tomorrow morning let's pack a lunch and go out somewhere.
ねえ仲直りっていつの間にかできちゃうものでしょう	Nee nakanaori tte itsu no ma ni ka dekichau mono deshou	And hey, making up with your friends is something you can just do anytime, right?

泣いているあなたの肩を手繰り寄せて	Naiteiru anata no kata o taguri yosete	Putting my hands on your shoulders as you cry, I wonder
あと何度抱きしめられるのでしょうか	Ato nando dakishimerareru no deshou ka	How many more times we'll be able to hug it out?

嬉しいことがありますように	Ureshii koto ga arimasu you ni	May you always have happy times.
悲しいおもいをしませんように	Kanashii omoi o shimasen you ni	May you never have sad thoughts.
素敵な人と出逢えますように	Suteki na hito to deaemasu you ni	May you be able to meet incredible people.
ただいまとおかえりでずっとつながってるよ	Tadaima to okaeri de zutto tsunagatteru yo	We'll always be connected by "I'm home" and "Welcome back."

いつか旅立つあなたの夢を	Itsuka tabidatsu anata no yume o	Someway you'll set off to follow your dreams.
見えなくなるまで見送るでしょう	Mienaku naru made miokuru deshou	I'll see you off until I can no longer see you over the horizon.
いつでも帰ってこられるように	Itsudemo kaette korareru you ni	May you always be able to come back home.
ただいまとおかえりでずっとつながってるよ	Tadaima to okaeri de zutto tsunagatteru yo	We'll always be connected by "I'm home" and "Welcome back."

ねえこの写真はいつごろのだっけとても温かいね	Nee kono shashin wa itsu goro no dakke totemo atatakai ne	Hey, when was this picture taken again? It makes me feel warm and happy.
時が流れても色あせずにずっと心を込めておかえり	Toki ga nagarete mo iro asezu ni zutto kokoro o komete okaeri	No matter how much time passes the colors never fade. And so I say, with all my heart, "welcome back."

Miscellaneous
The song's artist, Kaela Kimura, issued this statement after the song was announced:

"The song that Okazaki-kun made, "I'm Home. And, Welcome Back," is really warm and really nice. When I was recording it my heart was trembling and I was even moved to tears. Even though Okazaki-kun is a guy I really thought the song he made was really, really amazing. And on top of that, this is going to be the ending theme to a movie for Pokémon, which I love very much. I'm so, so happy. I feel so incredibly thankful. I'm looking forward to being able to see this in theaters together with my kids."

岡崎くんが作ってくれた、"ただいまとおかえり "は、本当に暖かくて優しい曲です。
レコーディングの時、心が震えて泣いてしまいました。
岡崎くんは男の人なのに、すごいね。って本当に思いました。
そして、大好きなポケモンの映画のエンディング曲。うれしくてうれしくて。本当にありがとうございます。
私も映画館で子ども達と一緒に観れるの楽しみです。
