     季節 (きせつ)が都会 (とかい)では　わからないだろと
     届 (とど)いたおふくろの　小 (ちい)さな包 (つつ)み
     あの故郷 (ふるさと)へ　帰 (かえ)ろかな帰 (かえ)ろかな

     kisetsu ga tokai de wa wakaranai daro to
     todoita o-fukuro no chīsana tsutsumi
     ano furusato e kaero ka na kaero ka na

     Mother sent me a little package
     figuring that it's hard to tell what season it is in the city
     Should I return home? Should I return?
