Yuuyake Days (夕焼けデイズ)

[nebulancer]

English translation:

I woke up on an average morning, nothing out of the ordinary

I knocked on your door and murmured those words

Underneath a clear blue sky of 32 degrees, at a bench in front of the station

I greeted a smile that came dressed up a bit more stylishly than usual

We walked a good distance away from each other

The two of us understood

That summer had already left

As those clouds stretched further away

In between our "good-byes," a diary was made up of trivial words we exchanged

We can say those words to each other dozens of times and they won't mean anything

And that way, we avoided things again

These short-lived feelings passing each other by

No matter how many pages we pile onto it, it's just not enough

Carrying our homemade lunches, both of which were split in half with what we'd made

Was it fortunate or unfortunate that our menus were basically the same?

Ever since that day I counted the flower petals, I'd realized

That the wind had already stopped, beyond that sunset

Don't wake up: as if we're in a dream, these trivial words will tear down our territories

I'm sure they'll never disappear, no matter how many years pass

Numb with cold, clammed up while humming a short-lived song

I want to meet you during those types of nights

As the leaves sway softly,

I wonder if the slowly-dancing sounds of wings

Will be able to fill up this empty space?

Pulling and weaving

The lightly frayed thread into a ball

We'll be able to redo things again and again, can't we?

With our signal of "good-byes," the things we revealed to each other were terribly timely

I want to hear you say them dozens of times from now on: because I won't cry

And that way, we've stunned each other again

We remember our short-lived feelings, but

If we speak of them just one more time,

We'll......

Lalala...

Kanji:

なんでもない朝焼けに

僕は目を覚まして

君の扉をノックする

言葉をつぶやいた

三十二度の晴れた空

駅前のベンチで

いつもよりオシャレをした

笑顔を迎えたよ

離れて歩いた

ふたりには分かってた

夏がもう去ること

あの雲 遠く伸びて

さよならの合間で

バカな言葉を交わすダイアリー

何十回  伝えたって 意味ないから

そうやって また逃げ出して

儚い気持ち通り過ぎてく

何重に詰め込んだって

足りないから

半分ずつ持ち寄った

手作りのランチは

運が良いのか悪いのか

丸かぶりのメニュー

花びら数えてた

あの日から気付いてた

風がもう止むこと

夕焼けの向こう側

覚めないで 夢のように

バカな言葉で壊すテリトリー

何年経っても きっと消えないから

かじかんだ貝になって

儚げな歌 口ずさんでる

そんな夜は君と会いたいから

ふわり 葉っぱ 揺らして

ゆっくり舞う 羽の音が

空白を埋めてくれるかな

ひらり ほつれた毛糸を

引いて 紡いで 玉にして

何度でもやり直せるよね

さよならの合図で

明かされたこと やけにタイムリー

何十回も聞きたいよ 泣かないから

そうやって また揺さぶって

儚い気持ち思い出すけど

もう一回だけ声にしたら 僕らは......

ラララ…
