Lyrics and translation Hiroaki Tsutsumi - 線香花火

線香花火

線香花火の火は 散りばめた遠い夏の日々
かすかに痛い胸に ポタポタ溶けて行く

激しく燃えた恋に ささやかな思いでハナムケを
軋んだ恋の戸張 伝える術もなくて

激しく揺れる波のしぶきに 今も聞こえてくる
呆れるほどに笑いあってた 君の笑顔も 優しい声も

夏の終わりを風に告げ 想い出は
季節の中で君をさらってゆく

線香花火の火は 夏夜の儚い恋の色
余韻も残さぬまま 小さくなって消えた

心の中に焼きついた火は 今も胸に残る
巡り会う日を夢見て咲いた 夜空を飾る花火のように

恋の終わりを風に告げ 面影は
時の流れに そっと色褪せてく

激しく揺れる波のしぶきに 今も聞こえてくる
呆れるほどに笑いあってた 君の笑顔も 優しい声も

夏の終わりを風に告げ 想い出は
季節の中で 君をさらってゆく

恋の終わりを風に告げ 面影は
時の流れに そっと色褪せてく
夏の花火のように 君といた夏の日

Sparkler of Memories

Sparks of Day Dream summer, ignite again where scattered firework fade.
The pain in my chest melts with you, a soothing touch to a heart dismayed.

My fiery obsession, I'll bid you farewell with a gentle embrace.
The door to our disputed love, left broken, with no way to save its grace.

The waves crash, I hear you still, within their furious ocean's roar.
Your smile, your voice, a cruel jest, I'll love you evermore

The summer's end whispers in the breeze, the past I can't reclaim
Memories carry you away, lost amidst the seasons' game

The flickers of a sparkler, burning bright, our summer love doomed to cease
No trace is left, just fading embers, lost as we find our own peace

The fire you etched upon my heart, forever branded in my soul,
A sparkler's dream, I'll never lose, as night by night the stars take their toll.

The summer's end whispers in the breeze, your image fades from sight,
In the river of time, your memory dims, like stars that lose their light.

The waves crash, I hear you still, within their furious ocean's roar.
Your smile, your voice, a cruel jest, I'll love you evermore

The summer's end whispers in the breeze, the past I can't reclaim
Memories carry you away, lost amidst the seasons' game

The summer's end whispers in the breeze, your image fades from sight,
In the river of time, your memory dims, like stars that lose their light.
A summer dream, our time together, now a sparkler in the night.
