JAPANESE
昔によく行った 夏祭りを覚えてる
はぐれてしまわぬように
しっかり手を握っていた
何もかもが輝いて 恐いものなんてなくて
美しい夢だけを 追っていたあの頃
通り抜けた風がなんだか優しすぎて
こらえきれず涙が頬を伝っている
懐かしく想えるのは 通り過ぎてしまったから
どんなに悲しくても いつかは笑って話せる
大人になるその途中 失ったものもあった
だけど今かけがえの ない人がほらいる
通り抜けた風がなんだか優しかった
明日の今頃もあなたを愛している
大切にしてね 悔やむ事ないように
時はかけがけのないものだから
忘れないでね どんなに祈ってみても
今はもう二度と帰らないから
ENGLISH (Translation)
I remember the summer festivals I had often been to
Where we held fast each other's hand not to be separated
Everything was shining, nothing to fear
And I was pursuing nothing but the beautiful dreams
The passing wind is so soft somehow
That tears are running down my cheeks
Memories are sweet because we passed through the time
However sad now, we can talk about it with a smile some day
There was something I lost while I was growing up
But see, I have my dearest person now
The passing wind was so soft somehow
I will love you at this time tomorrow
Please treasure time, not to regret later, as it's irreplaceable
Please don't forget, however much we pray later, we can never get back this time
