Lyrics

mou wasurete shimatta kana
natsu no kokage ni suwatta mama, aisu wo kuchi ni hourikonde kaze wo matte ita

mou wasurete shimatta kana yononaka no zenbu usodarake
hontou no kachi wo futari de sagashi ni ikou to waratta koto

wasurenai you ni iroasenai you ni
katachi ni nokoru mono ga subete janai you ni

kotoba wo motto oshiete natsu ga kuru tte oshiete
boku wa egaiteru me ni utsutta no wa natsu no bourei da
kaze ni sukaato ga yurete omoide nante wasurete
asai kokyuu wo suru, ase wo nugutte natsumeku

mou wasurete shimatta kana
natsu no kokage ni suwatta koro, tooku no oka kara kaodashi da kumo ga atta janai ka
kimi wa sore wo tsukamou to shite, baka mitai ni kuu wo kitta te de
boku wa kami ni kumo hitotsu wo kaite, waratte nigitte misete

wasurenai you ni
iroasenai you ni
rekishi ni nokoru mono ga subete janai kara

ima dake kao mo nakushite
kotoba mo zenbu wasurete
kimi wa waratteru

kokoro wo motto oshiete
natsu no nioi wo oshiete
asai kokyuu wo suru

wasurenai you ni

kotoba wo motto oshiete
sayonara datte oshiete

kotoba janakute jikan wo
jikan janakute kokoro wo
asai kokyuu wo suru, ase wo nugutte natsumeku

natsu no nioi ga suru

mou wasurete shimatta kana
natsu no kokage ni suwatta mama, aisu wo kuchi ni hourikonde kaze wo matte ita

English Translation

By now you’ve probably forgotten
How we sat in the shade of the trees in summer, stuffing our faces with ice cream and waiting for a breeze

By now you’ve probably forgotten how we laughed that, since this world is full of lies,
We’d go search together, the two of us, for something of true value

I hope you don’t forget, I hope it doesn’t fade
I hope that things that keep their physical forms aren’t everything

Tell me more, tell me that summer has come
I’m drawing what was reflected in my eyes, a ghost of summer
A skirt flutters in the wind; forgetting my memories,
I take a faint breath and wipe my sweat away — summer is coming

By now you’ve probably forgotten
When we sat in the shade of the trees in summer; clouds were peeking from behind the distant hill, weren’t they?
You tried to grab them, your hand closing on empty air
I drew a single cloud on the paper and, laughing, gripped it in my hand and showed it to you

I hope you don’t forget,
I hope it doesn’t fade
Because what’s recorded in history isn’t everything

Now, having lost my face
And forgotten all the words we said,
You’re laughing
Waiting for summer, we’re ghosts
Tell me more about what’s in your heart
Tell me about the scent of summer
I take a faint breath

I hope you don’t forget,
I hope it doesn’t fade
Because what resounds in your heart isn’t everything

Tell me more
Tell me goodbye
I’m looking even now
At a ghost in a flower that blooms in summer
At a time without words
At a heart without time
I take a faint breath and wipe my sweat away — summer is coming

I can smell the scent of summer

By now you’ve probably forgotten
How we sat in the shade of the trees in summer, stuffing our faces with ice cream and waiting for a breeze

    "mitai ni sora wo kitta te de" should be "mitai ni kuu wo kitta te de" 
    "boku wa kami ni kumo hitotsu wo egaite" should be "boku wa kami ni kumo hitotsu wo kaite"

      thanks dominik for the correction.
  • Haruka ·
    The phrase "natsu wo iku" is "夏めく" so isn't it "natsu meku" instead? 
    Not sure it there's any mistakes anywhere else since this is the only part that bothered me

      you right, natsumeku not natsu wo iku, thanks haruka for the correction.
