ひと夏の長さより... | Hitonatsu no nagasa yori... | A Summer Is Not As Long...

八月のレンボーブリッジ
ここから眺めながら
僕たちは恋をした

でも何から話せばいい?
ただ隣に腰掛けて
ぎこちなく風に吹かれた
一緒にいる その幸せが
ずっと続くと思った
やがて季節は過ぎるものと
気づいていたのに…

ひと夏の長さより
思い出だけ多過ぎて
君のことを忘れようとしても
切り替えられない
何度も着たTシャツは
首の辺り 伸びているけど
腕に強く抱いた
君のことは忘れられない

台風で中止になった
花火大会なんて
どうだってよかったんだ

始まったら終わってしまう
当たり前の出来事も
できるだけ延ばしたかった

かき氷が溶けたこととか
金魚すくいの下手さも
君の浴衣の可愛さとか
喧嘩したことも…

この夏は特別だ
僕にとって意味がある
今までとは比べられないほど
大切な時間
愛し合ったこの日々は
種の多いスイカみたいだった
そう思い通りに
行かないのが人生なのか

肌寒い秋風が吹いても
もう少し Tシャツがいい
カーディガンを着たくはない
君と恋した夏

来年の夏はまた
きっとここに来るだろう
愛するとは言葉はなくていい
そばにいることだ

ひと夏の長さより
思い出だけ多過ぎて
君のことを忘れようとしても
切り替えられない
何度も着たTシャツは
首の辺り 伸びているけど
腕に強く抱いた
君のことは忘れられない

The Rainbow Bridge in August
As we gazed at it from this very spot
We fell in love

But where do I start recounting?
Sitting down beside you
I clumsily let the wind blow on me
Being together with you was a happiness
That I thought would always last
Although I did notice
That the season had reached its end…

A Summer is not as long
As my overflowing memories of you
Even though I wanted to forget you
These memories cannot be replaced
The T-shirt I’ve worn so many times
Is getting stretched in the collar
But I can never forget
Your firm embrace around my neck

Because of a storm
The firework display was cancelled
But it did not matter

Things that have begun eventually come to an end
Even if it was inevitable
My wish was simply to delay it

Whether it’s the melting kakigori
Or our clumsy goldfish scooping game
The adorableness of your yukata
Or the quarrel between us…

This is a special summer
A meaningful time for me
Nothing can compare to this important season
Even until today
These lovey-dovey days
Passed by like a watermelon with too many seeds
Things never happen the way we wish
Is it the nature of life?

Although the autumn breeze feels cold on my skin
I’ll wear this T-shirt a while longer
I don’t want to put on a cardigan
I was in love with you in summer

In the next summer
Surely we’ll come here again, right?
Love doesn’t need words
It’s about being by each other’s side

A Summer is not as long
As my overflowing memories of you
Even though I wanted to forget you
These memories cannot be replaced
The T-shirt I’ve worn so many times
Is getting stretched in the collar
But I can never forget
Your firm embrace around my neck
