開け放たれた この部屋には誰もいない
In this room, wide open, there’s no one here.
潮風の匂い 滲みついた椅子がひとつ
A single chair soaked in the scent of the sea breeze.
あなたが迷わないように 空けておくよ
I’ll keep it open, so you won’t get lost.
軋む戸を叩いて
Knocking on the creaking door.
なにから話せばいいのか わからなくなるかな
What should I start with? I wonder if I’ll lose my way.
星が降る夜にあなたにあえた
On a night when the stars fall, I met you.
あの夜を忘れはしない
I’ll never forget that night.
大切なことは言葉にならない
The important things can’t be put into words.
夏の日に起きた全て
Everything that happened on that summer day.
思いがけず光るのは 海の幽霊
Unexpectedly shining, it’s a ghost of the sea.
茹だる夏の夕に梢が 船を見送る
On a sweltering summer evening, the branches wave goodbye to a ship.
いくつかの歌を囁く 花を散らして
Whispering a few songs, scattering flowers along the way.
あなたがどこかで笑う 声が聞こえる
I can hear your laughter from somewhere far away.
熱い頬の手触り
The warmth of your cheek against my touch.
ねじれた道を進んだら その瞼が開く
If I walk down this twisted path, your eyelids will open.
離れ離れでもときめくもの
Even when we're apart, my heart still flutters.
叫ぼう今は幸せと
Let's shout out that we are happy right now!
大切なことは言葉にならない
The important things can't be put into words.
跳ねる光に溶かして
Melting in the dancing light,
星が降る夜にあなたにあえた
I met you on a night when stars fell from the sky.
あのときを忘れはしない
I will never forget that time
大切なことは言葉にならない
The important things can't be put into words
夏の日に起きた全て
Everything that happened on that summer day
思いがけず光るのは 海の幽霊
Unexpectedly shining is the ghost of the sea
風薫る砂浜で また会いましょう
On the breeze-scented sandy beach, let's meet again
