More songs by Mrs. GREEN APPLE
Description
It smells like hot asphalt and slightly burnt waffles from the vending machine by the park. The wind plays with the shadows, cicadas shamelessly scream throughout the neighborhood, and a stretched-out T-shirt sticks to your back - it's as if all of this was invented specifically to hide unnecessary blushes and unspoken words.
Summer days in a song are not calendar dates, but a film that refuses to rewind. The ice in the glass melts too quickly, smiles linger a little longer than they should, and it seems that growing up is happening at the same quiet but unstoppable pace. And all that remains is to hope that someday the same wind, stubborn and light, will once again touch someone on the other side of memories.
Lyrics and translation
Original
吹いたそよ風が夏を揺らすの。
伸びた陰が限りを知らせるの。
汗ばんだシャツで未来を語るの。
ゆっくりとゆっくり と見えない速さで進 んでゆく。
夏の暑さのせいにしてただせ いにして惚れた心を 隠してる。
夏の影のせ いにしてまたせいにして溶け た氷と時間を紡ぐの。
吹 いたそよ風が夏を揺らすの。
日 に焼けた肌が雲を動かす の。 無垢な笑顔はどこまで続いてゆけるの。
ゆっくりとゆっくりと 見えない速さで大人にな ってゆく。
夏の蝉のせいにしてただせ いにして胸に抱えた言葉隠れる。
夏の影のせいにして またせいにしてまだまだ溶け ないでこの氷よ。
過ごしていたあの夏の思い出は 今でもまぶたの裏で生きてる。
恋をしたその夏に恋をしていた。
あ の風はどこかであなたについてい ればいいな。
そうだといいな。
あ あ。
English translation
The breeze that blows shakes the summer.
The growing shadow lets you know your limits.
Talking about the future in sweaty shirts.
It moves slowly, slowly, at a speed you can't see.
I'm blaming it on the summer heat, but I'm hiding my love for you.
I'm blaming it on the shadows of summer and weaving time with the melting ice.
The breeze that blows shakes the summer.
My tanned skin moves the clouds. How far can an innocent smile last?
Slowly, slowly, at an invisible speed, you become an adult.
I blame it on the summer cicadas, but I hide the words I hold in my heart.
Blame it on the shadows of summer, blame it on me again, but it's still not melting, this ice.
The memories of that summer are still alive behind my eyelids.
I was in love that summer.
I wish that wind would follow you somewhere.
I hope so.
ah.
