Текст и перевод песни Megumi Nakajima - 夏鳥 -without megumi-

夏鳥 -without megumi-

あなたが生まれた町に
ふらりと旅に出てみました
白い汽車に揺れながら
流れゆく雲とともに

こんな私をあなたが見たら
優しいあなたは叱るのでしょう
古いホームに降り立つ時に
むせるほど漂う初夏の匂い

夏鳥つらなる晴れた空
私はまだ飛び立てない...
潮風にあなたを感じて
まだ、迷っています
遥か遠くに浮かぶ小島
あなたを育てた町並み
なんだか私も懐かしい...
二人で来たかった

あなたが生まれた町に
今年も夏がやってきます
線路沿いの並木道
陽炎が揺らめきだつ

こんな季節をあなたと共に
ずっと過ごしていきたかったの
河原に咲いたアザミの花が
あの時の笑顔に似ていました

夏鳥飛び立つ青い空
あなたは二度と帰らない
この町にあなたを映して
まだ、探しています
あなたがいつか話していた
古い神社の木漏れ日
やわらかい日差しが私に
優しく問いかけた

ねえ いつかは
思い出になるのかな

夏鳥羽ばたく広い空
二人は二度と出会わない
窓の外 夕凪の町は
とても切なかった
オレンジ色に染まる電車
ゆっくり今走り出せば
「さよなら」と手を振る私に
町が微笑んでる

Summer Bird -without megumi-

I took a trip to the town where you were born,
Just on a whim, you know.
As I rode the white train,
The clouds flowed by like time.

If you saw me like this,
You'd scold me with your gentle heart.
Stepping off at the old station,
The scent of early summer overwhelmed me.

Summer birds string across the clear sky,
But I still can't take flight...
Feeling you in the sea breeze,
I'm still lost, you see.
That small island floating in the distance,
The streets where you were raised,
For some reason, they feel nostalgic to me too...
I wish we could have come here together.

Summer is coming again
To the town where you were born.
Along the tree-lined street by the tracks,
The summer heat starts to shimmer.

I wanted to spend all these seasons with you,
Forever and always.
The thistle blooming by the river,
Resembled your smile from back then.

Summer birds take flight into the blue sky,
But you'll never return.
Seeing your reflection in this town,
I'm still searching for you.
That old shrine you once told me about,
Where sunlight filters through the trees,
The soft sunlight gently asked me,
A question only you could answer.

Hey... will it all
Just become a memory someday?

Summer birds spread their wings across the vast sky,
But we'll never meet again.
Outside the window, the town in the evening calm,
Felt so heartbreaking.
The train, painted in orange hues,
As it slowly starts to move now,
To me waving goodbye with a "farewell,"
The town smiles back.
