Lyrics & Translation

[English]

言葉にできない

Words can't express it

想いは溢れてゆくのに

Even though my feelings overflow

答えなど出せないまま

I can't find any answers

波飛沫はぜるような偶然は重なる

Coincidences like splashes of waves overlap

こうしてふたりを巡り合わせるの

This is how we are brought together

そして世界は初めての色に染まる

And the world is dyed in a brand new color

もう誰にも止められないほど

It's already unstoppable for anyone

始まりは不意を着いた

The beginning caught me off guard

それでもふたりは恋を取って駆け出した

Yet we both took love and ran

何度も思い出すような言葉を探して

Searching for words that I would remember many times

届けどうか このまま熱さが醒めないように

Please deliver this, so the heat doesn't fade away

やがて迷子の夜すら超えてゆく

Eventually, we'll even surpass the lost nights

はじけた笑顔も

The bursting smiles

やさしく流れた涙も

And the gently flowing tears

この夏が残してくれたプレゼント

Are the gifts this summer has left behind

魔法みたいな時間に揺れちゃってどうしよう

What should I do, swaying in this magical time?

明日がこれほどに愛おしいのは

Tomorrow feels so precious

これが恋と知った

I realized this is love

ふたりの心をもっともっと近寄せて

Bringing our hearts closer and closer

なんでも超えられるような気持ちを見つけた

I found a feeling that can overcome anything

波に乗って このままふたりが溶け合うなら

If we ride the waves and melt into each other

まるで決められていた運命のよう

It feels like a fate that was already decided

8月のカレンダー

The calendar of August

夏の終わりが近付いた

The end of summer is approaching

胸が騒ぐ

My heart is restless

やめてまだ終わらないでよ

Stop, don't let it end yet

「好き」をまだ伝えていないのに

I haven't even told you "I love you"

ああ ようやく答えに会えた

Ah, finally met the answer

鐘が鳴る

The bell rings

始まりの合図がした

It's the signal for the beginning

たまらずふたりは恋を取って駆け出した

Unable to resist, we both took love and ran

なんてことない飾らない言葉が

Simple words that mean nothing special

届けどうか このまま熱さが醒めないように

Please deliver this, so the heat doesn't fade away

やがて迷子の夜すら超えてゆく

Eventually, we'll even surpass the lost nights
