Kotoko - Aki lyrics

rate me

unmei to shinjita atsui sora no shita de

itai hodo dakiatte shiosai mo kogashita

isshun me ga kurande yureta kageroutachi

namioto kazoeru kimi ga tooku ni mietaaa mabushisugita fuukei wa kitto

maboroshi sa to tsubuyaku aki no koenamima ni kieta omoide wa kimi to

ima mo doko ka de ikite imasu ka?

kotobazukuna ni satte itta kata wo

kisetsuhazure no ame ga tatakitsu'zuketazutto kono mama de... to kotoba saegitta

komatta you na yokogao hiyashinaderu umikaze

yuuhi ga kiritotta suna no ashiatotachi

hitotsuzutsu saraware ano natsu mo kietettanee kimi wa nani wo wasurerareru no?

takakute toosugiru aki no sorahitori tazuneta juugatsu no umibe

naida minamo ni toki wo kanjita

nanimo iezu ni bo-tto tachitsukushita

oyayubi no suna wa ima mo setsunaku kishimu yohitokage kieta nagisa e mo kitto

mata atarashii kisetsu ga meguru

shuurei no kaze ga toorisugiru mae ni

iisobirete ita SAYONARA nami e kaesu yo

English translation

I believed it was destiny, under that hot sky

We held each other so tightly it hurt and even the sea seemed to burn

For a moment, my eyes were dazzled by the shimmering of the hot air

Counting the waves, you seemed so distant"That too-dazzling scene was surely

An illusion," the autumn cicadas whisper to meAre the memories that disappeared into the waves

Still alive out there, somewhere, with you?

As you left with scarcely a word

The unseasonable rain drummed on your shoulders"Let's stay like this for-" You cut off my words

The cold sea breeze stroked your worried cheek

The setting sun cut short our footprints in the sand

Swept away bit by bit, that summer disappeared tooWhat have you forgotten?

The serene autumn sky is too high and far awayI visited the October beach alone

Feeling the season in the stillness of the water's surface

I stood silently, frozen, lost in thought

The sand under my thumb grates painfully even nowThe people have all vanished from the shore

But summer will surely come again

Before the cold autumn wind passes by

I return the goodbye I should have said to the waves
