Translation
Worn out from swimming, you were still excited,
And mumbled that you couldn’t sleep.
“In that case, let’s go look for it!”
So we slipped out of the room in secret –
On an endless night we were facing the shore,
“Wouldn’t you love to swim in a sea of stars?”
You said with a smile.
The faint sound we heard next to us at 3 am
Was the clanking of a ramune bottle
So we shut it all away in our memories,
And you lifted it into the moonlight,
peering through the marble.
I wrote down the feelings I didn’t want to forget in the sand,
But the waves keep washing away my writing,
So searching for a sign, I quietly sealed the bottle
With my prayers inside,
And buried it in the sand.
Since when have I been so honest, I wonder.
As I quietly closed the door to summer,
“Hey, have you noticed?”
All the stars are watching over you.
You scooped the moonlight and sound of the waves
Into your hands,
And after you closed your fist tight
So you wouldn’t spill the memories out,
You held a seashell to your ear and heard,
What sounded like the voice of your recollections.
You didn’t imagine hearing footsteps.
If you had looked back, everyone was there with you,
So lets gather all the sounds of the night
That we thought were fake,
And shut them in our hearts.
Hey, that summer time capsule
Slumbers here, even now.
And it will forevermore…
Let’s try to recall
The wish we made on that starry night.
I wrote down the feelings I didn’t want to forget in the sand,
But the waves keep washing away my writing,
So let’s come up with a sign – the password
For the day we retrieve it is…
“I love you”
Japanese Lyrics
泳ぎつかれた キミははしゃいで、
眠れないとつぶやいた。
「ねえ だったら探しに行こう」
こっそりと部屋を抜けだして――
終わらない夜 海辺に向かい、
「星の海で泳ごうか？」
なんてキミは笑って言った。
私たちに寄り添う 午前三時の淡い音は、
カラコロと響くラムネの瓶だったから、
思い出ぜんぶ閉じこめて、
月灯りにかざし ビー玉のぞく。
忘れたくない思い 砂浜に書いたけど、
波が文字をさらっていくから、
目印を探し そっと瓶に封をして 祈りこめ、
砂に埋めた。
いつからだろう 素直になれた。
夏はそっと閉じていき、
「ねえ 気づいた？」
すべての星がキミを見守ってるよ。
月の光や波の音を 両手ですくって、
思い出こぼさないよう 掌に閉じこめたら、
耳に当てた貝殻から聞こえた、
記憶の声と似てる。
足音聞こえるのは 気のせいじゃない。
振り向けば みんながいたから、
嘘みたいな 夜の音を集め、
胸にしまおう。
ねえ 夏のタイムカプセルは
今もここで眠る。
いつまでも…
星の夜の願い 覚えておこう。
忘れたくない思い 砂浜に書いたけど、
波が文字をさらっていくから、
目印を決めて いつか取りだすときの
合い言葉は――
「大好きだよ」
