natsu iro no yoru
(Night of Summer Color)

words by Kyoko Fukuyama   music by Yoshiki Fukuyama   sung by Yoshiki Fukuyama
translation by Alinda Sue...

tooku kikoeru   matsuribayashi
naze ka natsukashii
 natsu iro no yoru
tsuki ga meguri wo   hashiri nukete
kaze ni mezameru   omoide no hibi

omoi akogarete   otona ni natte
kizukazu ni oite kita   hiroi sora
modorenai to   wakatteitemo
ano koro no boku wa ima   koko ni iru

yume wa haruka na   otogibanashi
dare to asonda   susuki no nioi
shizumi yuuhi wa   mune ni yadori
fue no niero ni   kirakira hikaru

toki wo oikakete oikakerarete
naki nagara nagareteku   akanegumo
yama wa nemuri   akari wa kie
nani mo nai kusahara ni   hoshi wa furu

omoi akogarete   otona ni natte
kizukazu ni oite kita   hiroi sora
modorenai to   wakatteitemo
ano koro no boku wa ima   koko ni iru
ano koro no boku wa ima   koko ni iru
In the distance can be heard the drums accompanying a festival
Nostalgic without knowing why   these nights of summer color
It runs through circulation of the moon
In the wind it awakens remembered days

With thoughts and aspirations, I grew up
Under the wide sky, without noticing
Yet even if it turns out I cannot return
The person from that time exists now here in me

Children’s stories of far off dreams
Playing among the smell of the pampas grass
The setting sun dwells in the heart
In the sound colors created by a flute, light sparkles

Chasing after, pursuing time
Tears flow from a very angry looking cloud
A mountain sleeps   The light fades
In an empty meadow, a star falls

With thoughts and aspirations, I grew up
Under the wide sky, without noticing
Yet even if it turns out I cannot return
The person from that time exists now here in me
The person from that time exists now here in me
