Sayonara No Natsu

Hikaru umi ni kasumu fune wa
(A ship veiled in the shining sea)
Sayonara no kiteki nokoshimasu

Takaku hikuku tobu no
(that flies high and low)
*Do 2x*

(If I tried to call out in the sunset,)
Yasahii anata ni aeru kashira
(I wonder if I'd encounter the gentle you)



Dareka ga hiku piano no oto
(The sound of a piano that somebody plays)
Uminari mitaini kikoemasu

Osoi gogo wo yukikau hito
(Do the people come and go late in the afternoon)

(If I looked back in the sunset,)
Anata wa watashi wo sagasu kashira
(I wonder if you'd be looking for me)




Sanpo michi ni yureru kigi wa
(On the promenade shaking trees)
Sayonara no kage wo otoshimasu
(cast shadows of good-bye)
Furui chaperu kazami no tori
(Can the old chaperu and chicken weather vane)
Natsu iro no machi wa mieru kashira
