Lyrics and translation DAOKO - 打ち上げ花火

打ち上げ花火

あの日 見渡した渚を
波の音は聞こえない
今も思いた住んだ
砂の上刻んだ言葉
君の後ろ姿
より返す波が足元をよぎり何かを攫う
夕凪の中
日暮れだけが通り過ぎて行く
パッと光って咲いた 花火を見ていた
きっとまだ 終わらない夏が
曖昧な心を解かして繋いだ
この夜が続いて欲しかった
「あと何度君と同じ花火を見られるかな」って
笑う顔に何をできるだろうか
傷つくこと 喜ぶこと
繰り返す波と情動 焦燥 最終列車の音
何度でも 言葉にして君を呼ぶよ
波間を選び もう一度
もう二度と悲しまずに 済むように
はっと息を飲めば
消えちゃいそう光が
きっとまだ 胸に住んでいた
手を伸ばせば触れた あっかい未来は
ひそかに二人を見ていた
パッと花火が (パッと花火が)
夜にさいた (夜にさいた)
夜にさいて (夜にさいて)
静かに消えた (静かに消えた)
離さないで (離れないで)
もう少しだけ (もう少しだけ)
もう少しだけ
このままで
あの日見渡した渚を
今も思い出すんだ
砂の上に刻んだ言葉
君の後ろ姿
パッと光って咲いた 花火を見ていた
きっとまだ終わらない夏が
曖昧な心を 解かして繋いだ
この夜が 続いて欲しかった

Fireworks

That day, as I gazed out at the beach,
I could not hear the sound of the waves.
Even now, I cherish the memory of
the words we carved into the sand.
Your silhouette,
The receding waves that lapped at my feet, taking something with them.
In the twilight,
Only the sunset passed us by.
I watched the fireworks bloom and burst into light.
Surely, the summer was not over yet,
The ambiguous feelings we had melted away and connected us.
I wished that this night could last forever.
“How many more times will I be able to watch the fireworks with you?”
What could I say to the face that smiled at me?
Getting hurt, feeling joy,
The recurring waves, my emotions, my impatience, the sound of the last train.
Time and time again, I will call out your name with words.
Choosing the waves, once more,
So that I will never have to grieve again.
If I were to gasp,
The light would vanish.
Surely, it still resided in my heart,
The warm future that I could touch if I reached out
Was secretly watching over us.
Suddenly, the fireworks (Suddenly, the fireworks)
Blossomed in the night (Blossomed in the night)
Blossoming in the night (Blossoming in the night)
Silently fading away (Silently fading away)
Don’t let go (Don’t let go)
Just a little longer (Just a little longer)
Just a little longer,
Like this,
That day, as I gazed out at the beach,
I still remember it now.
The words we carved into the sand,
Your silhouette.
I watched the fireworks bloom and burst into light.
Surely, the summer was not over yet,
The ambiguous feelings we had melted away and connected us.
I wished that this night could last forever.
