Paroles et traduction Masayoshi Yamazaki - 8月のクリスマス

8月のクリスマス

ありふれた出来事が
こんなにも愛しくなってる
わずかな時間でも
ただ君のそばにいたかった
あの夏を偲ぶように
粉雪が舞い降りる
鳴り止まぬ鐘のように
君と過ごした日々を優しく包んでほしい
僕の記憶もいつか
遠い空に還ってゆくのだろうか
過去からの便りのように
粉雪は舞い降りて
ガラス越し 冬の朝
心に秘めた想い 君に届けてほしい
どれくらいの涙が残ってるだろう
今は静かに目を閉じるだけで・・・
思い出を語るように
粉雪が舞い降りる
悲しみに暮れぬように
微笑を絶やさぬように
日はめぐり振り返れば
確かに君がいたあの夏の日に
確かに僕がいた8月の空の下

August Christmas

Even ordinary moments
Become so dear to me
If I could have just a little more time
I would have spent every moment by your side
Like a reminder of that summer
The powdery snow starts to fall
Like an unceasing bell
I ask for the snow to gently envelop our precious memories
Someday, my memories too
Will they vanish into the distant sky
Like a message from the past
The powdery snow continues to fall
Through the glass, a winter morning
I wish my unspoken feelings could reach you
How many tears have I left
For now, I will quietly close my eyes...
Like sharing our memories
The powdery snow falls
To protect me from overwhelming sorrow
To help me keep my smile
As the days go by and I look back
I remember you clearly on that summer day
I remember myself under the August sky
