Chiai Fujikawa - Ano Hi Ano Toki Lyrics + English Translation

自転車ペダル 早回転で 暗い道
好きな歌に 間に合うように
冴えない日々の 刺激なんてね 無い道
急に目にしみる まぶしいコンビニ

東京のタワーとかスクランブルな交差点とか
ここにはなくて 光っていて
飛び出して歌う 光の中で でも

あの赤い橋とか マイナーなデパートも
稲揺らす風とか あの夜の静寂も
覚えているんだよ ローラーの滑り台
途中で止まって 下に手を振って
今僕が歌う感じるもののすべては多分そう
そこにあるんだ

自動車の窓 額縁になる 紅葉橋
葉っぱの色 誇らしそうに
あの日のニュース あの日の電話 あの声
今でもやっぱり ずっと残るね

見慣れた場所がいつか違って見えてくるのは
自分の背丈が伸びたからとか成長とかであってよ
こんなのは 嗚呼

あの川の流れの 聞きなれたフレーズも
あの夜は悲しく 濁って聞こえたよ
覚えているんだよ あの場所の色匂い
なんでねーここなの ずっと考える
わからないけど 超えられるから
だからね そうきっと
僕らなんだろう

あの赤い橋とか マイナーなデパートも
稲揺らす風とか あの夜の静寂も
覚えているんだよ あの場所の色匂い
なんでねーここなの ずっと考える

あの川の流れの 聞きなれたフレーズが
これからは優しく 聞こえ出すように
いつの日か空晴れ いつの日か空泣き
いつの日か笑って いつの日かまた泣いて
変わらないのは ずっと生きていく 
光待って　嗚呼
変わらないのは ここでそう これからも歌う

Bicycle pedals spinning quickly down a dark road
To make it in time for my favorite song
Dull days and roads with nothing inspiring
A bright convenience store that suddenly blinds my eyes

Tokyo's towers and pedestrian scrambles
Don't exist here, still shining
Burst out and sing under the bright lights, however

That red bridge and minor department store,
Rice stalks that sway with the wind and those silent nights
I remember them, those roller slides
Stopping midway and waving to all that lies below
Everything I am singing about and feeling now is probably, yes...
It's all there

Outside the car window, framed by the Momiji Bridge
Colors of leaves that seem so proud
That day's news, that call on that day, that voice
Even now, as expected, they still remain

Hoping the reason a familiar place has come to look so different
Is because I've grown taller or have matured
Something like this... Ah...

The sounds of that flowing river I've heard a thousand times
The sadness of that night I heard faintly
I remember them. The sights and smells of that place
I wonder why it has to be here and keep thinking
Still unsure but I believe I can overcome
That's why... Yes, definitely...
It has to be us

That red bridge and minor department store,
Rice stalks that sway with the wind and those silent nights
I remember them. The sights and smells of that place
I wonder why it has to be here and keep thinking

The sounds of that flowing river I've heard a thousand times
From now on, to be able to hear its gentleness
When the skies are fine, when the skies are crying
Which days are laughing, which days are crying once again
What doesn't change is that it lives forever
Waiting for the light. Ah...
What will not change is, yes...

I will keep on singing right here
