Today again, the whole day through
It's gonna be a hot one
Cicadas calling, jin jin
On this summer morning.
In little drops,the sweat runs down
I wipe it from my brow
Fluffy summer clouds , moku moku
Beneath a sky of blue.
'Cause I love, I love this town so much
'Cause I love, I love these people too
I donever want to leave this special place
Good morning to you my summer town !
Old Main Street is waking up
With colors moving all around
Shop keepers calling out
Such a cheerful sound.
All around and passing by
People's smiling faces
More than any other thing
That's what makes you shine.
I imagine being on that crowded train
I imagine exactly how it happened
Everything was gone and burned away
So long ago my summer town.
On that day, the whole day through
It was gonna be another hot one
Cicadas calling, jin jin
Beneath a sky of blue.
" Goodbye Mom, I'm leaving "
" Be home for dinner "
Fluffy summer clouds, moku moku
Beneath a sky of blue.
The grass and trees, the mountains and rivers
Friends and fathers and mothers too
Why so suddenly, suddenly gone
On that summer morning?
Remarks:
jin - jin : chirping sounds of cicadas
moku - moku : puffy clouds piling upwards
