空の高みを見つめながら 貴方の側を歩いてる 古いかなしみに 陽の当たる 真昼を何と名付けよう |
Sora no takami wo mitsumenagara Anata no soba wo aruiteru Furui kanashimi ni hi no ataru Mahiru wo nanto natsukeyou |
i am walking by your side while gazing upon the height of the sky. what shall i name this midday, where sunshine strikes upon my old sorrow? |
|
貴方の中を泳いでる 赤黒黄金(こがね)の魚たち ふいに水面に踊るように 奇麗なこころが 見えてくる |
Anata no naka wo oyoideru Aka kuro kogane no sakana-tachi Fui ni minamo ni odoru you ni Kirei na kokoro ga mietekuru |
black, red, and gold fish are swimming within you. your beautiful heart becomes visible as if they suddenly came to dance on the water’s surface. |
|
遠い夏の物語のように 白い舟の影の 中で遊ぶ 水しぶき空へ 投げて 笑うだけの |
Tooi natsu no monogatari no you ni Shiroi fune no kage no naka de asobu Mizushibuki sora e nagete Warau dake no |
like the tale of a distant summer, we play within the silhouette of a white boat. we splash the water towards the sky and just laugh. |
|
こんなに寂しい水の上に 何かが降りて来たような 夏はただ眩しく輝いて 私は貴方に恋をした |
Konna ni sabishii mizu no ue ni Nanika ga oritekita you na Natsu wa tada mabushiku kagayaite Watashi wa anata ni koi wo shita |
upon the very lonesome water, a summer where it seems as if something has disembarked was radiantly shining as i fell in love with you. |

That last part always gives me goose bumps.
You’re not alone. But in my case, those goosebumps comes from start to end of the song…
