Lyrics & Translation
A meeting of eternity and a moment
I must not forget, I must not forget, I must not forget
Our summer
My body has grown cold in the wrong place
Letting go into the warmth of people, flowing and being carried away
Thinking back, I've come a long way
Life is never boring, is it?
Especially youth, it passes in an instant
Tonight, everyone is the first, the first act
Everyone has their own costumes
Wearing the makeup of a wild life
I must not hide, I must not hide, I must not hide
We are summer
What is it that makes my heart feel down?
Wandering in the warmth of people, flowing and being carried away
Thinking back, I've come a long way
Eternity is so dull, isn't it?
Just a temporary moment is nice, isn't it?
Finally, the feast is in full swing, it's showtime
Everyone is choosing from all directions
The scent of a fierce life burning
I must not be afraid, I must not be afraid, I must not be afraid
We are summer
What should we do about this fleeting moment of womanhood?
If it stays like this, there will be no place to go
In full bloom, vibrant colors, still at their peak
Just like a large drooping willow
The running lantern of a lifetime is revived
I must not let it slip away, I must not let it slip away, I must not let it slip away
Our summer
What should we do about this fleeting moment of womanhood?
If it stays like this, it can't end yet
In full bloom, vibrant colors, still at their peak
