夏の光が砕け散る海辺
The summer light shatters by the shore
瞳を閉じてあの頃を思う
I close my eyes and think of those days
慣れ過ぎた恋に背中向けたままで
Still turned away from the love I’ve grown too used to
分かれる自由も奪ったあの季節
That season stole even the freedom to part
Summer Blue, Summer Blue
愛さない罰さ
Punishment for not loving you
白い砂丘に照り返す日差し
The sunlight reflects off the white dunes
加えたタバコ潮風にしみる
A cigarette between my lips, soaked by the sea breeze

愛せないついさ
I just can't love you
きっと明日は気分さえ変わり
Surely tomorrow my mood will change
都会の中で生きて行くだろう
I'll probably keep living in this city
伸びて行く影を一人見つめながら
Watching my shadow stretch alone
何もない夏が似合いすぎる季節
A summer with nothing fits this season too well
Summer Blue, Summer Blue
空だけが青い
Only the sky is blue
Summer Blue, Summer Blue
空だけが青い
Only the sky is blue
Summer Blue, Summer Blue
愛さない罰さ
It's the punishment of not loving
