Paroles et traduction 小泉今日子 - 遅い夏

遅い夏

細い道がつづく ぼやけて空にとけて
さかい目もみえないくらい
石ころもきれいな形

ほほえみのかわりに 朝つゆに光った
君の白いスカートが
丘をこえて走れば ああ

いつのまにかこんなに恋をして
淋しがりやの君だから何もかもつらい

僕がいなくても 君は笑ってね
抱きしめているのさ
なぜ かなしいの

森の奥へつづく 目印を残さず
そっと枝をくぐり抜ける
静かに君の手をとって

不思議な色の花と 不思議な音の風を
おどろいてみつめたよ
こわくて逃げたりしたよ

きよらかな沼のほとりにでて
このまま時が止まれば 永遠に一緒だ

僕が沈んでも 君は笑ってよ
抱きしめてくれても
もう おそいね

僕が沈んでも 君は笑ってよ
抱きしめてくれても
もう おそいね

Summer's Slow Farewell

The narrow path goes on and on, blurring into the sky,
the boundary almost invisible.
Even the pebbles have beautiful shapes.

Instead of a smile, your white skirt
shimmered in the morning dew.
When we ran over the hill, oh,

when did I fall so deeply in love?
Because you're lonely, everything is painful.

Even when I'm gone, please smile,
I'm holding you in my arms.
Why are you sad?

We followed no trail into the depths of the forest,
gently pushing our way through the branches.
I took your hand quietly.

We gazed in wonder at the strangely colored flowers
and the strange sounds of the wind.
We were scared and ran away.

Emerging on the shores of a pristine lake,
I wished time would stand still, so we could be together forever.

Even when I sink below the surface, please smile,
even if you hold me close.
It's too late.

Even when I sink below the surface, please smile,
even if you hold me close.
It's too late.
