Tawamurebayashi ni Koikogare (戯れ囃子に恋い焦がれ)

[nebulancer]

English translation:

 

During last year’s festival, I liked your smile

My feelings are dredged back up with the stir from the summer wind

 

On the path behind the shrine grounds, our heartbeats overlapped

Melting into the musical accompaniment, and I’ll go through that moment again

 

Aah, these feelings are the first star that comes hand-in-hand with the orange twilight

Do you remember my swaying, swaying ornate lantern hairpin?

 

Again this year, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up

Like the fireworks that bloom wildly

Letting our surging souls blaze up

Dance and swim in the vast sky of summer

Dreaming a dream we can’t wake up from

 

The dayflower’s fragrance soaks into my lips

I feel as if I’ve grown a bit, having talked to you quietly

Why does time pass so idly on by?

Even though back when we were innocent, I could hold hands with you

 

Aah, those eyes are the moon’s mystery, like the golden sixteen-day-old moon

I don’t know when it happened, but I’d opened my heart as I gazed at them

 

To the two of us, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up

If we wear yukata, a magic spell will be cast

Where we can become honest with the sparkling stars

I reached out to the vast sky of summer

With kaleidoscopic colors

 

Like a candy apple with a soft aroma

Your profile looks flushed red, so shall I take you along,

Pulling your hand?

 

Again this year, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up

Like the fireworks that bloom wildly

Letting our surging souls blaze up

Dance and swim in the vast sky of summer

 

To the two of us, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up

If we wear yukata, a magic spell will be cast

Where we can become honest with the sparkling stars

I reached out to the vast sky of summer

Dreaming a dream we can’t wake up from

Kanji:

 

去年のお祭り　君の笑顔が好き

夏風がざわめき蘇る想い

境内（けいだい）の裏の道 重なる鼓動が

お囃子（はやし）に溶けてく瞬間（とき）をもう一度

 

ああこの気持ちは橙（だいだい）の　夕暮れに添う一番星

ゆらりゆれる提灯簪（ちょうちんかんざし）覚えていますか？

 

今年も早く早く早く早く

咲き乱れる花火の如く

迸（ほとばし）る魂燃やして

踊れ泳げ夏の大空

醒めぬ夢見よう

 

露草の香　唇に沁みて

そっと君に話す背伸びした気持ち

時はなんていたずらに過ぎて行くのでしょう

無邪気なあの頃は手を繋げたのに

 

ああその瞳は金色の十六夜に似た月の神秘

いつの間にやら心開いて眺めていました

 

二人に早く早く早く早く

浴衣着れば素直になれる

魔法をかけて　旱星（ひでりぼし）よ

手を伸ばした夏の大空

万華鏡色

 

ふわり香りし　りんご飴の様な

火照る横顔を連れていこうか

君の手を引いて…

 

今年も早く早く早く早く

咲き乱れる花火の如く

迸（ほとばし）る魂燃やして

踊れ泳げ夏の大空

 

二人に早く早く早く早く

浴衣着れば素直になれる

魔法をかけて　旱星（ひでりぼし）よ

手を伸ばした夏の大空

醒めぬ夢見よう
