Lyrics

yurameita shinkirou
asufaruto kara fukushanetsu to
futashika na koigokoro ni
irodorareta nettaiya

hagareochita konkuriito
kuroi abura ni mamireta dakuto
katsute kono machi wa marude
kyodai na meiro datta
natsukashii basho

sanjuusan do no manatsu no taiyou hankouki
sanbyaku rokujuu do maware senpuuki
tokedasu koori ga usumeru aisu koohii
kono natsu ni zenbu kogasarete

omokage ni nagasarete
hinkouhousei ka
kono netsu ni kioku kara
tokete shimaisou da

kono machi ga
natsukashisa de mitashitatte
zenzen wari kittenai tte
netsukenai yoru wa

kurikaeshi kurikaesu
kono sekai demo
watashi rashiku are
tte omowasete

manatsu demo tokenai
aisu no you na

furu kaiten suru beranda no shitsugaiki
sanjuusan pai tabereru kakigoori
kono natsu ni zenbu kogasarete iku

English Translation

A shimmering mirage
Heat rising from the asphalt
A tropical night, coloured by uncertain love

Cracked concrete peeling away
Ducts smeared with black oil
This city once felt like a giant maze
A place of distant memories

33 degrees, the rebellious midsummer sun
A fan spinning 360 degrees
Melting ice slowly waters down my iced coffee
This summer burns everything away

Swept away by your image, 
am I still virtuous and upright?
In this heat, I feel like I’m melting from my memories

Even if this city
Fills me with nostalgia
I can't make peace with it at all
On sleepless nights

Again and again, over and over
Even in this world
Let me believe I can stay true to myself

Bring me a mystery like ice 
that won’t melt even in the height of summer

Again and again, over and over
Let me believe this season belongs to this summer alone

Flickering neon signs
I feel like I might fall in love on a sleepless night

Ah…

Past and future intertwine
Heat waves ripple in an endless loop
Maybe this city was meant to be a ruin long ago

33 degrees, midsummer rush for air conditioners
Outdoor units spinning on balconies at full speed
33 bowls of shaved ice I could eat
This summer keeps burning everything away

A midsummer ghost haunting the night of summertime
In this heat, I feel like I’m melting from my memories

Even if this city
Fills me with nostalgia
I can't make peace with it at all
On sleepless nights

Again and again, over and over
Even in this world
Let me believe

I can stay true to myself
Bring me a mystery like ice that won’t melt even in the height of summer

Again and again, over and over
Let me believe this season belongs to this summer alone

Flickering neon signs
I feel like I might fall in love on a sleepless night

Ah…
