Paroles et traduction 今井美樹 - 去年は、8月だった

去年は、8月だった

雨が降れば喜んだ
二人きり過ごせるから
今は 雨が止むことを祈るの
一人きりになれるから
あぁ おたがい
厚い本 手にして
何も話さず
電話を気にしている
たった１年が
だけど１年が 流れ
昨夜も服を着たままで
朝を迎えてしまった
たった愛なのに
だけど愛だからツラい
去年は８月だったわ
海は夜も青かった
高い波が押し寄せる
泳いでる人はいない
せめて 窓を少し開け濡れるの
二人きりが苦しいの
あぁ 子供と
笑われそうだけど
この手つないで
くれれば気がすむのに
たった１年が
だけど１年が流れ
いつしか 嘘がわかるほど
疑い深くなったわ
たった愛なのに
だけど愛だからこわい
去年は８月だったわ
海はいつも笑ってた
今は秋なのに
今日は雨なのに、あなた
誰かの麦わら帽子が
海の隙間で揺れてる

Last August

When it rained, I was glad
Because we could spend time alone together
Now I pray for the rain to stop
Because then I can be alone
Oh, both of us
Holding thick books in our hands
Not saying anything
Anxious about the phone call
Just one year has passed
But in that one year, so much has changed
Last night, we fell asleep in our clothes
And woke up in the morning
Just love, but
Because it's love, it's hard
Last year, it was August
The sea was still blue at night
High waves were rolling in
No one was swimming
I open the window a little and get wet
Being alone together is painful
Oh, like a child
I know it's silly
If you would just
Hold my hand, I'd be content
Just one year has passed
But in that one year, so much has changed
Now I can tell when you're lying
I've become suspicious
Just love, but
Because it's love, it's scary
Last year, it was August
The sea was always smiling
Now it's autumn
And it's raining today, but you
Someone's straw hat
Is swaying in the sea
