突然君からの手紙 あの日から途切れた君の声
Suddenly there's your letter, since that day your voice fell silent,
今すぐ逢いに行くよ 夏が遠回りしても
I’m heading straight to you, even if summer takes its time,
カセットのボリューム上げた 日曜の車は混んでいる
Turned up the cassette's volume, the car on Sunday is packed,
バックミラーの自分を見て 今度こそは意地を張らない
Looking at myself in the rearview mirror, this time I won’t be stubborn,
海岸通り過ぎると 君の家が見える
As I pass the coastline, I catch a glimpse of your house,
過去も未来も忘れて 現在は君のことだけ
Forgetting both past and future, all I think of now is you,
突然の風に吹かれて 夢中で何かを探したね
Blown by a sudden wind, we searched for something with all our might,
倒れそうになったら 僕を近くに感じて
If you start to feel faint, just sense me close by,
またあの日のように 君を抱きしめたい
Just like that day, I want to hold you tight,
何かを求めれば何かが 音をたてて崩れてく
If you seek something, something will collapse with a sound.
たとえ今日が終わっても 明日を信じて行こうよ
Even if today comes to an end, let's believe in tomorrow and move on.
僕は君の大事な存在になれるのだろうか
Could I become someone truly important to you?
この仕事はどんな状況も笑っているよ
This work is smiling no matter the situation.
突然の熱い夕立ちに 夢中で車に走ったね
In a sudden, hot summer rain, we ran to the car, lost in the moment.
埃まみれになって 時間の経つのも忘れた
Covered in dust, I forgot all about the passing time.
恋人よ 君を心から大切にしたい
My beloved, I want to cherish you from the depths of my heart.
突然の風に吹かれて 旅人は行く先を知らない
Caught in a sudden wind, the traveler doesn’t know where to go.
でも僕らの愛は 二度とはぐれたりはしない
But our love will never be lost again.
あの青い空のように いつまでもそばにいる
Like that blue sky, I will always be by your side.
