花火 (Hanabi) – Fireworks
——
So that we didn’t lose each other in the crowd
We held hands tightly, feeling each other’s heartbeat
The smell of summer wavers on the water’s surface
As the two of us remained unblinking
Like this forever, can’t be like this forever
I know that, but I want to believe
Pinky fingers entwined, my tears fall
As time passes
A multi-colored ring spreads out
The same fireworks as we saw that day glitters
Only I am left, wanting to see you again
The dim stars overlap into a ring
My feelings, stretching straight out, grows violent
Just being able to smile was enough
Unknowing of the future
I love you forever, I love you, hanging my head
The words buried in my lonely heart
Shoulders close together, my tears stop
Just for now, my wish
Red shining, spreading out, then disappearing
Looking up at the same nightsky we saw that time
What are you thinking of now? As I alone stand still
“Thank you”, “Sorry”
I can’t speak them even now
Closing my eyes, I want
To forget your smile, but
A multi-colored ring spreads out
The same fireworks as we saw that day glitters
Only I am left, wanting to see you again
Red shining, spreading out, then disappearing
Looking up at the same nightsky we saw that time
What are you thinking of now? I alone stand still
Wanting to see you again
