NANIMO IENAKUTE…NATSU

綺麗な指してたんだね
知らなかったよ
となりにいつも
いたなんて
信じられないのさ
こんなに素敵なレディが俺
待っててくれたのに
"どんな悩みでも
打ち明けて"
そう言ってくれたのに
時がいつか
二人をまた
始めて会った
あの日のように導くのなら
二人して生きることの
意味をあきらめずに
語り合うこと
努めることを
誓うつもりさ
"私にはスタートだったの
あなたにはゴールでも"
涙浮かべた君の瞳に
何も言えなくて
まだ愛してたから...
もう二度と会わない方が
いいと言われた日
やっと解った事があるんだ
気づくのが遅いけど
世界中の悩み ひとりで
背負ってたあの頃
俺の背中と話す君は
俺よりつらかったのさ
時がいつか
二人をまた
始めて会った
あの日のように導くのなら
水のように
空気のように
意味を忘れずに
あたりまえの
愛などないと
心に刻もう
短い夏の終りを告げる
波の音しか聞こえない
もうこれ以上
苦しめないよ
背中にそっと
"さよなら..."

WHAT I'D REALLY LIKE TO SAY...SUMMER

You had such beautiful fingers, my dear
I never realized
That you were always right there beside me
All this time
I find it impossible to believe
That such a wonderful lady as yourself
Could’ve waited around for me
"Share any of your worries with me
Any time," you said
But time itself would bring us
Back to the very beginning
Like that first day we met
It would surely guide us
If only we were to commit
To a life together
And by talking to each other
And making every effort
To never give up
I swear, that's what I intend to do
"For me, that was the start
But for you, it was the end"
I couldn't utter a word
To the tears welling up in your eyes
Because I still loved you...
That day you said
We should never see each other again
I finally came to realize
That even though I'm slow to catch on
When I used to carry all the world's
Troubles on my own
You were the one who always
Talked to my back and suffered
Time itself would bring us
Back to the very beginning
Like that first day we met
It would surely guide us
Like the calmness of water
Like the freshness of air
Without forgetting the meaning
Of commonplace things
Such as simple love
I'll engrave it upon my heart
The sound of waves is the only
Sound heard on this short summer's end
And I can't suffer
Any longer
I softly whisper to your back
"Goodbye..."
