[English]

The sun

begins to shine

more brightly than yesterday

In a pure white

T-shirt

I want to change right now

and invite you

along the seaside

on the highway

taking a bus that's still quite empty

Chasing the sea breeze

faster than anyone

to find summer

Next to my heart

while seeing the same scenery

For years, we have

remained just friends

As I take off your hairband

you suddenly turn around

and just smile in the wind

for some reason, I can't say anything

even though I have these feelings...

As I take off your hairband

like letting down your long hair

Before I knew it, we grew up

to the point where you’re out of my reach

I will love you even more

Everyday, Everyday, Everyday

Katyusha girl

The sandy beach

reminds me of you

I can't walk as I wish

With the waves coming in

every time I avoid them

our footprints

get erased

I don't want anything

that is certain

If I can come to the sea

with your innocent self next year...

With you wearing a hairband

I am in a long romance

Since the day we met in the same class

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

No matter how many seasons pass...

With you wearing a hairband

no one, no one can compare

You look the best in the world

with that angelic ring holding your hair

Forever

don't change

I love you

I can't put it into words

I love you

this feeling of mine

I love you

like being tanned to a wheat color...

Love will surely

be something you notice someday

Everyday, Everyday, Everyday

Katyusha girl

カチューシャガール

[Japanese]

太陽が

昨日より

眩しく照りつけ始めたら

真っ白な

Tシャツに

今すぐ着替えて

君を誘いたい

海沿いの

国道を

まだまだ 空いてるバスに乗り

潮風を

追いかけて

誰よりも早く

夏を探すんだ

心の隣で

同じ景色見ながら

何年間も 僕たちは

友達のままさ

カチューシャ　外しながら

君がふいに振り返って

風の中で微笑むだけで

なぜか何も言えなくなるよ

こんな想っているのに･･･

カチューシャ　外しながら

長い髪をほどくように

いつのまにか大人になって

僕の手には届かないくらい

もっと　好きになるよ

Everyday, Everyday, Everyday

カチューシャガール

砂浜は

君に似て

思い通りに歩けないよ

寄せる波

避(よ)ける度

2人の足跡

消されてしまった

確かなものなど

何も欲しくはないよ

無邪気な君と 来年も

海に来られたら…

カチューシャしてる君に

僕は　長い恋愛中

同じクラス　出会った日から

きれいになった今日まで　ずっと…

季節　何度巡っても…

カチューシャしてる君に

誰も　誰も　敵わないよ

世界中で一番似合う

髪を留めた天使の輪っか

永遠(とわ)に

変わらないで

君が好きだ

言葉にできないよ

君が好きだ

僕のこの気持ち

君が好きだ

小麦色に灼けるように･･･

恋はきっと

いつか気づくものさ

Everyday, Everyday, Everyday

カチューシャガール
