Manatsu No Setsuna

The blue sky and the sandy beach
Are inviting us without feeling embarrassed

Trying to take off your t-shirt
You avert your gaze from me

Under the parasol, applying sunscreen
You look more mature than usual
My throat is dry
I want to feel the excitement of a midsummer moment

Chasing after you running at the water's edge, soaking wet
Your smile that bursts when you glance back for a moment

It burns me
And my mind goes blank

If you see a shooting star tonight, what would you wish for?
You started to say it, then stopped, thinking I'm weird, offering your wrist
The seagulls' cries sound cheerful, not for any logical reason
I don't hate your insensitivity

I want to feel the excitement of a midsummer moment
The sea breeze caresses my whole body as it blows through
Laughing at the magic of summer that will never happen

I can't believe it, you caught up to me
Will this feeling, buzzing like the words written in the sand, also disappear?
Ah, your eyelashes are long, shining bright
I want to feel the excitement of a midsummer moment

Chasing after you running at the water's edge, soaking wet
Your smile that bursts when you glance back for a moment

It burns me
And my mind goes blank
