Original Japanese English Translation (by AAW)
Himawari no narabu sakamichi
Kyou wa otagai gyaku ni aruiteku

Kodomotachi no koe no suki mani
Anata wo semeta jibun ga kanashii

Tamerai mo naku

Hajimatta koi
Natsu ga owareba
Betsu betsu ni ikiteku

Sayonara wa mou iranai

Fuyu o matenai kara
Futari dake no "Christmas Eve"

Atsui hizashi ga "ilumination"
Kurushii ai ni kawattemo ii
Dakishimete

Nemurazu katatta umibete
haretame otagai yubisashi waratta

Futari no asa wo

Mukaeru tabi ni
Hitori no heya ga
Kowakunatteta

Sayonara wa mou iranai

Yakusoku no Eve wo
Koko de ima kanagete

Tameiki no kisu wa "celebration"
Egao no naka na itami no imi mo
Dakishimete

Zutto kono mama de itai yo
Ienai kimochi kowarenu you ni
Dakishimete

Manatsu no Eve wasurenai
Anata no koto wasurenai
Futari no eve wasurenai
Anata no koto wasurenai
Manatsu no Eve wasurenai
The slope is lined with sunflowers.
Today we go our seperate ways.

Through an opening in children's voices
I feel sad because I blamed you.

Without hesitation,

We fell in love.
When summer is over,
We will live separately.

I don't want goodbyes any more.

We can't wait till winter,
So Christmas Eve is just for the two of us.

Hot sunshine is ilumination.
I don't care if it becomes painful love.
Hold me.

We talked at the beach all night long
And laughed and pointed at our puffy eyes.

Together in the morning,

Every time we woke up
Being alone in the room
Frightened me.

I don't want sayonara any more.

The promised eve
Here and now (?)

The kiss of a sigh is celebration.
The meaning of the pain of a smile.
Hold me.

I don't want to change anything.
Don't break my speechless feeling.
Hold me.

I won't forget Midsummer Eve.
I won't forget you.
I won't forget our Eve.
I won't forget you.
I won't forget Midsummer Eve
