Paroles et traduction Ai Higuchi - 夏のまぼろし

夏のまぼろし

「７月に入ったら船に乗って海に行こう 誰もいない静かなビーチで
言葉のいらない景色だけ追いかけて ゆっくり過ごしていよう」
カレンダーめくったら 長い横矢印で 書き込んだのは君だったっけ
消すのも癪だし 一か月ぐらい我慢して見ないように過ごしていよう

探せないものならあきらめもつくけどさ
なくしたところに 置いてけぼりかな 忘れただけかな

きらきらと光るのは夏の幻 ぼんやりと灯るのは涙のせいかな
ゆらゆらと陽炎が僕を笑って 手が届かないところへ 君を泳がせたのさ

サンダルの裏にはさまった石の粒 あの砂浜の星の砂
小さな瓶に入れて いつか一緒に返そう 君はいつも笑ってた

いつでも君が僕を見つけてくれた
なくしたところで 探しているかな もう戻れないかなあ

きらきらと光るのは君の幻 さびしくて胸の中 風が吹いてる

きらきらと光るのは夏の幻 ぼんやりと消さないで 走る想いのまま
ゆらゆらと陽炎が僕を笑って 手が届かないところへ 君を泳がせたのさ
君は夏の幻

Summer's Illusion

“In July, let's get on a ship and go out to sea. On a quiet beach where there's no one around,
let's just chase the scenery that needs no words and spend our time slowly.”
When I turned the page on the calendar, that long, diagonal arrow was written by you, wasn't it?
It's too much of a pain to erase it, so I'll just endure it for a month or so and try not to look at it.

I can give up when I can't find something, but
in the place where I lost it, did I leave you behind? Or did I just forget it?

What glitters and shines is summer's illusion. The faint light is probably because of my tears.
The shimmering heat haze laughs at me. It sent you swimming to a place I can't reach.

There are grains of stone stuck to the bottom of my sandals, star sand from that sandy beach.
I put it in a small bottle. Sometime, I'll return it to you. You were always smiling.

You always find me.
In the place where I lose it, are you looking for it? Or is there no going back?

What glitters and shines is your illusion. It's lonely and the wind is blowing in my heart.

What glitters and shines is summer's illusion. Don't erase it, just like that. Keep your thoughts going.
The shimmering heat haze laughs at me. It sent you swimming to a place I can't reach.
You are summer's illusion.
