Natsu no omoide

Natsu no omoide

natsu ga kureba omoidasu
harukana oze tooi sora

kiri no nakani ukabikuru
yasasii kage nono komichi

mizubasyou no hana ga saiteiru
yumemite saiteiru mizu no hotori

syakunage ironi tasogareru
harukana oze tooi sora

natsu ga kureba omoidasu
harukana oze tooi sora

hanano nakani soyosoyo to
yure yureru ukishima yo

mizubasyou no hana ga niotteiru
yumemite niotteiru mizu no hotori

manako tsubureba natsukashii
harukana oze tooi sora

Memory of summer

I remember every time summer runs
far way oze,A very clear sky

I can see vaguely in the fog
Gently shadow,Path in the field

The flower of Asian skunk cabbage is blooming
Dreaming and blooming in around the water

Twigs in the color of rhododendron
far way oze,A very clear sky

I remember every time summer runs
far way oze,A very clear sky

Gently shake in the flower,Gently … gently follow
On a floating island while fluttering

The flower of Asian skunk cabbage is smelling
Dreaming and smelling in around the water

I will remember if I close my eyes
far way oze,A very clear sky
