夏よ咲いて (Natsu yo saite) – Summer, bloom
from Ano Natsu he to single.
—–
The intense burning sun sets
And I can’t see your back anymore
Unable to catch up, I stand
At the waves alone, watching them retreat
In love, we were too close
And couldn’t be honest
The sound of fireworks coming from far away
So desperately pretty and lonely
I want to go back, but I can’t
To that day of our merry summer
I don’t want them to become memories
How you taught me the meaning of love
We passed each other, became entwined
That summer with you has disappeared
The past season was so beautiful
Only your smile cannot be erased
With my coat collar turned up
I search for that summer’s sky
Because I loved, the cracks
In this heart cannot be filled
I thought of walking on
Even now, that love is not a lie
I want to go back, but I can’t
I finally understood my own naïveté
I can’t stay like this
I want to hold you even tighter than before
The snow melted, spring has passed
Summer, bloom once again
I want to go back, but I can’t
To that day of our merry summer
I don’t want them to become memories
How you taught me the meaning of love
I don’t care if it’s just an illusion
Summer, bloom once again

KANJI
激しく燃えた夕陽が落ちて
君の背中が見えない
追いかけられないまま僕は
波の行方を一人見つめた
恋する距離が近すぎて
素直になれなくて
遠くで鳴った花火だけ
やけにキレイだね 寂しくて
戻りたい帰れない
あの日はしゃいだ二人の夏
想い出にしたくない
愛する意味を教えてくれたね
すれ違って もつれ合って
君といた夏は散って
過ぎた季節は美しくて
君の笑顔さえ消えない
コートの襟を立てながら
探しているよあの夏の空を
愛してるほどこの胸の
隙間埋められない
歩いてゆけると思った
今も大好きさ嘘じゃない
戻りたい帰れない
やっと分かった僕だけの純情
このままじゃいられない
前より君を強く抱きしめたい
雪が解けて春が過ぎて
もう一度 夏よ咲いて
戻りたい帰れない
あの日はしゃいだ二人の夏
想い出にしたくない
愛する意味を教えてくれたね
幻でもかまわないよ
もう一度 夏よ咲いて
