  1. 夏の雨上りの街に そっと灯りまたたきだす

    In the city after the summer rain, the lights gently start to flicker

  2. 別れの後で電話をしたことを

    I hope you'll forgive me for making that call after our goodbye

  3. ゆるして欲しいけど ねえ

    But hey,

  4. もう一度だけあの店で会いたい

    I just want to meet one more time at that place

  5. それで終りにする

    And then we'll call it quits

  6. Baby, love again 二人の愛はもどりはしないけど

    Baby, love again, our love won't return, yet

  7. Baby, love again せめてあなたをにくみたくはないの

    Baby, love again, at least I don't want to resent you

  8. 好きな香りつけてきたの 夏の黄昏によく似合うわ

    I've brought my favorite scent, it suits the summer dusk so well

  1. あの日のままで 話をして欲しい

    I wish you'd talk to me just like that day

  2. 海の好きなあなた ねぇ 私はずっと頬づえつきながら

    You, who loves the sea, hey, I’ve been leaning on my hand all along

  3. 聞いてるだけでいい

    Just listening is enough

  4. Baby, love again やさしさだけが重すぎただけなの

    Baby, love again, it’s just that kindness felt too heavy

  5. Baby, love again せめて笑ってこの夜終らすわ

    Baby, love again, at least let’s smile and end this night

  6. 明日から二人 別々の日々でも この街のどこかでね

    From tomorrow on, we’ll be living separate days, but somewhere in this town

  7. 生きてるかぎり 会える気がするのよ

    As long as we’re alive, I feel like we can meet again

  8. その時は笑顔で

    When that time comes, let’s be smiling

  9. Baby, love again 二人の愛はもどりはしないけど

    Baby, love again, our love won’t return, but

  10. Baby, love again せめてあなたをにくみたくはないの

    Baby, love again, at least I don’t want to hate you
