あの日見渡した渚を
On that day, I gazed at the shore,
今も思い出すんだ
Even now, it brings back memories.
砂の上に刻んだ言葉
Words etched upon the sand,
君の後ろ姿
Your silhouette standing there.
寄り返す波が
The waves retreating,
足元をよぎり何かを攫う
Sweep past my feet, grabbing something.
夕凪の中
In the quiet of the evening,
日暮れだけが通り過ぎて行く
Only the sunset drifts away.
パッと光って咲いた
In a sudden flash, it bloomed,
花火を見ていた
I was watching the fireworks.
きっとまだ
Surely still
終わらない夏が
The never-ending summer
曖昧な心を
A heart shrouded in ambiguity
解かして繋いだ
Unraveled, then tied together
この夜が
This night
続いて欲しかった
I wanted it to continue
「あと何度君と同じ花火を見られるかな」って
I wonder how many more times I can watch the same fireworks with you.
笑う顔に何ができるだろうか
What can be done with a smiling face?
傷つくこと 喜ぶこと
The joy of being hurt
繰り返す波と情動
The waves and emotions that repeat
焦燥 最終列車の音
Impatience, the sound of the last train
何度でも
Over and over again
言葉にして君を呼ぶよ
I'll call out to you with words anew
波間を選び もう一度
Choosing through the waves, once more
もう二度と悲しまずに済むように
So you won't have to be sad ever again
ハッと息を呑めば
Gasping, I hold my breath
消えちゃいそうな光が
A light that seems about to fade away
きっとまだ胸に住んでいた
Must surely still be living in my heart
手を伸ばせば触れた
If I reach out, I can touch it
あったかい未来は
A warm future awaits
ひそかに二人を見ていた
Secretly watching the two of us,
パッと花火が
Suddenly, the fireworks
夜に咲いた
Bloomed in the night.
夜に咲いて
Bloomed in the night,
静かに消えた
Quietly faded away.
離れないで
Don't go far away,
もう少しだけ
Just a little bit longer,
もう少しだけ
Just a little bit longer,
パッと光って咲いた
Suddenly shining, it bloomed,
花火を見てた
I was watching the fireworks.
きっとまだ
surely still
終わらない夏が
a summer that won't end
曖昧な心を
loosening my ambiguous heart
解かして繋いだ
weaved together
この夜が
this night
続いて欲しかった
I wanted it to last
パッと花火が
suddenly the fireworks
夜に咲いた
bloomed in the night
夜に咲いて
blooming in the night
静かに消えた
quietly faded away
離れないで
Don't let go
もう少しだけ
Just a little bit more
もう少しだけ
Just a little bit more
