Summer diary (lyrics)
 

Summer diary

The sea we saw together was dazzling
How to put it? It was beautiful yet painfully sad
People often say "if only time could stand still"
I feel I understood why in that moment

Every single word softly seeps into my heart
This season really is more special than any other

*
I want to cast a spell on this summer, make it last forever
Let me stay by your side
It’s the first time I’ve felt this way
I want to treasure this feeling forever

I always have to keep my eyes on the sky
because it transforms completely as soon as I look away
You joked that’s somehow just like me
but you were serious, weren’t you?

You’re fickle and free, I can’t put my finger on you
Let’s blame the summer for all those things

**
I’ll never ever forget this summer
I’ll record it in my heart’s diary
If possible, please stay the same and never change
I want to fill these pages more, if you’ll let me

I can’t help but love all the things
you make me feel
Your scent, your little habits
I love every single thing
and it makes my chest tighten

Japanese lyrics


romaji

Thank you for the hard work you always do!
I think it's kind of "bittersweet" lyrics
there are beautiful and sad things mentioned in there

Thank you! Enjoying the song much more with the lyrics :)

Thank you!

I love the lyrics and the song.

Thanks for the lyrics and translation!

"This season really is more special than any other"

This line is just like ayu's real feeling haha. She loves summer.

It fits the PV very well so I guess everything just gels

Such bittersweet yet beautiful lyrics. :heart Makes me love the song even more! Thank you for translating! :)

Thank you very much. Wonderul lyrics.

Thank you!

I really like the lyrics, this is a great summer track :heart

This is my third time writing this x.x

Beautiful lyrics. I really like this part : ”People often say "if only time could stand still"
I feel I understood why in that moment”.
We all have times in our lives when we wish to stop the time. Magical yet bittersweet.

And that richness in the instrumental of the song is really completed by the lyrics beauty.

I so love those lyrics! ♡♡♡ Thank you very much!

You're welcome, everyone!

Ayu's lyrics are always the ones I love translating the most~

Thank you!!!

so touching!

Thanks for these! So sweet! I love the chorus.

I have to say, her love songs never touch me as deeply as her other music, but this one does. I don't necessarily care for the song itself (though I don't hate it) but these lyrics sound so much more sincere and heart-felt than most of her songs concerning someone she loves.

"I’ll never ever forget this summer
I’ll record it in my heart’s diary
If possible, please stay the same and never change
I want to fill this page more, if you’ll let me

I can’t help but love all the things you make me feel
Your scent, your little habits - I love every single thing
and it makes my chest tighten"

Those lines sound so intimate to me in a way I feel she usually lacks.

Thanks a ton for the translation!

Kind of OT, but I'm just wondering, isn't this the word for forgive? Does it have a double meaning and I just don't know? I'm curious. Thanks to anyone who fills me in ;)

^ It can mean "forgive", "allow" and more.

The official lyrics are available on the album threat. Can you check it and also Sayonara's one ?

^
you can click to see description below music video from her youtube channel
official translation is there ^^

Updated with the official lyrics. I got one word wrong.

The moment I take my eyes off you
your expression suddenly changes, that’s why I have to keep looking

is now:

I always have to keep my eyes on the sky
because it transforms completely as soon as I look away

glad this line changed xD I had weird image of ayu staring at her boyfriend

i'm getting inspired to work on one of my fanfics now. Thank you for this translation, tenshi. :)

HAHA omg that is a whole different meaning XD
but that line about the sky gorgeous!
