Kanji | Romaji | English |
---|---|---|
垣根の向日葵に隠れて いそいでキスをした 君のやわらかなほっぺたは きっととても甘いだろう |
kakine no himawari ni kakurete isoide KISU wo shita kimi no yawaraka na hoppeta wa kitto totemo amai darou |
hidden by the hedge of sunflowers we swiftly kissed it seems your cheeks were surely very sweet |
野兎追いかけて草の中 誰にも見えないね 素知らぬ顔した野原に 脱ぎ捨てた靴の矢印 |
nousagi oikakete kusa no naka darenimo mienai ne soshiranukao shita nohara ni nugisuteta kutsu no yajirushi |
we chase a wild rabbit among the grass with no one in sight in a field that pretends not to recognize us our shoes we kicked off marks our way |
何もない夏でした ただ恋をしただけでした |
nanimo nai natsu deshita tada koi wo shita dake deshita |
a summer where nothing happened all we did was fall in love |
踊る三日月真夏の夜は 夢見る恋を連れて来る 檸檬色した星を数えて 君の心にキスをする |
odoru mikazuki manatsu no yoru wa yumemiru koi wo tsuretekuru REMON iro shita hoshi wo kazoete kimi no kokoro ni KISU wo suru |
the dancing crescent moon of the midsummer night brings us the love we dream of as i count the lemon colored stars i place a kiss on your heart |
笛の音が君をさらってく 風の中 やがて来る秋へ |
fue no ne ga kimi wo saratteku kaze no naka yagate kuru aki he |
the sound of the flute carries you away in the wind heading towards the approaching autumn |
若すぎる緑の林檎は 銀紙の味がする 切なさが実る枝から 君が盗ってくれました |
wakasugiru midori no ringo wa gingami no aji ga suru setsunasa ga midoru eda kara kimi ga totte kuremashita |
the green apples that are too young bear the taste of silver paper you’ve taken it from a branch where pain ripens and given it to me |
眠らない魚の夢見る 終わらない夏でした 心も季節も林檎も 色付く事さえ忘れて |
nemuranai sakana no yumemiru owaranai natsu deshita kokoro mo kisetsu mo ringo mo irozuku koto sae wasurete |
we dream of a restless fish it was an endless summer my heart, the seasons, and the apples forget to even change colors |
寒がりな風見の鶏が もうすぐ秋だよと謡う |
samugari na kazami no tori ga mou sugu aki da yo to utau |
the weathervane that is sensitive to the cold sings “it will be fall very soon!” |
揺れる三日月真夏の夜に 忘れた恋を思い出す 夢のひとひら 星の鈴音 君の心にキスをする |
yureru mikazuki manatsu no yoru ni wasureta koi wo omoidasu yume no hitohira hoshi no suzu oto kimi no kokoro ni KISU wo suru |
on a midsummer night where the crescent moon sways i remember our forgotten love the petal of a dream the chiming of the stars i place a kiss on your heart |
その夏のあどけない林檎 いつまでも胸にある果実 |
sono natsu no adokenai ringo itsumademo mune ni aru kajitsu |
those summer’s innocent apples will forever be the fruits within my heart |

Man,i love most of the kalafina and off course the Kajiura’s song but this one somehow is the most special,and isnt all coz I began to date a girlfriend on summer but i don’t know….something on this song carry me to the heaven *_*
There’s something about the way the solos were arranged and the style put into this that just brings on the sweetest feeling, indeed a Summer’s Apple. It’s as if the song itself (As many fabulous Kaijura songs are,) was in a fantastic world of endless wonder. It paints so many colors of green, yellow, and soft reds into the air, and brings upon these colors the scent of summer grass and apples. Truly wonderful.
The music and song sounds like it was sung on a lush green meadow… Peaceful, sweet and innocent.
the melody of this song is so colorful,
and Wakana sing it perfectly..
I love this song very much..
When Hikaru starts singing, I melt…. Wakana and Hikaru were just wonderful in this song. One of my favorites!
I love this song! is so peaceful and terder… Wakana is so great and amazing in this song.
It’s so pretty~
It is a very beautiful song, it is also one of my favorite songs! ❤❤❤❤
My all time favorite… the melody is so trancendental
I love kalafina 🌸🌸
