kaerimichi kangaeru menyuu kimaranai kara itsumo to chigau michi
magarikado mittsu bun dake no chippoke na tabi kuchibue wo fuki nagara
kaze to odoru akatonbo sora oou urokogumo

English Translation
On the way home I always take a different road since I can't decide on a menu
I whistle as I turn the corner and take a short, three-second journey
A red dragonfly dances in the wind, the sky hidden by clouds
If I close my eyes, I'll arrive; I can smell dinner from a house somewhere
That's it! Today we'll have hamburger steak even though I made it last week
Ah, I'll knead a ground mixture full of beef, pork, and love
For the person I love
The tail lights of the bus that passed by carry the wishes of many people's dreams
It looks like there's a bond tied between me and that someone who says "Welcome home"; I'll come running
Everyone is swaying, and on the way home, so am I
It would be great if every day continued to be this warm
For now, let's hurry and have hamburger steak; I'll cook a delicious meal
I'll be sure to add a perfect glaze made subtly from cheer
For the person waiting for me
Though there are things I'm not very good at, I'll start with the things I can do
Though there are times of tears, I'll believe in smiles
Today we'll definitely have hamburger steak, and it'll be better than last week's
Ah, I'll knead a ground mixture full of beef, pork, and love
For the person I love
