Lyrics & Translation

[Japanese]

[English]

太陽が

The sun

昨日より

begins to shine

眩しく照りつけ始めたら

more brightly than yesterday

真っ白な

In a pure white

Tシャツに

T-shirt

今すぐ着替えて

I want to change right now

君を誘いたい

and invite you

海沿いの

along the seaside

国道を

on the highway

まだまだ 空いてるバスに乗り

taking a bus that's still quite empty

潮風を

Chasing the sea breeze

追いかけて

faster than anyone

誰よりも早く

to find summer

夏を探すんだ

Next to my heart

心の隣で

while seeing the same scenery

同じ景色見ながら

For years, we have

何年間も 僕たちは

remained just friends

友達のままさ

As I take off your hairband

カチューシャ　外しながら

you suddenly turn around

君がふいに振り返って

and just smile in the wind

風の中で微笑むだけで

for some reason, I can't say anything

なぜか何も言えなくなるよ

even though I have these feelings...

こんな想っているのに･･･

As I take off your hairband

カチューシャ　外しながら

like letting down your long hair

長い髪をほどくように

Before I knew it, we grew up

いつのまにか大人になって

to the point where you’re out of my reach

僕の手には届かないくらい

I will love you even more

もっと　好きになるよ

Everyday, Everyday, Everyday

Everyday, Everyday, Everyday

Katyusha girl

カチューシャガール

The sandy beach

砂浜は

reminds me of you

君に似て

I can't walk as I wish

思い通りに歩けないよ

With the waves coming in

寄せる波

every time I avoid them

避(よ)ける度

our footprints

2人の足跡

get erased

消されてしまった

I don't want anything

確かなものなど

that is certain

何も欲しくはないよ

If I can come to the sea

無邪気な君と 来年も

with your innocent self next year...

海に来られたら…

With you wearing a hairband

カチューシャしてる君に

I am in a long romance

僕は　長い恋愛中

Since the day we met in the same class

同じクラス　出会った日から

until today, when you’ve become beautiful...

きれいになった今日まで　ずっと…

No matter how many seasons pass...

季節　何度巡っても…

With you wearing a hairband

カチューシャしてる君に

no one, no one can compare

誰も　誰も　敵わないよ

You look the best in the world

世界中で一番似合う

with that angelic ring holding your hair

髪を留めた天使の輪っか

Forever

永遠(とわ)に

don't change

変わらないで

I love you

君が好きだ

I can't put it into words

言葉にできないよ

I love you

君が好きだ

this feeling of mine

僕のこの気持ち

I love you

君が好きだ

like being tanned to a wheat color...

小麦色に灼けるように･･･

Love will surely

恋はきっと

be something you notice someday

いつか気づくものさ

Everyday, Everyday, Everyday

Everyday, Everyday, Everyday

Katyusha girl

カチューシャガール
