Текст Ayumi Hamasaki – Hanabi: Episode II

Romanized:

Nee dooshite mata furikaetteru
Ashiato tadotte nee arekara moo natsu wa
Nandomo megutte iru noni

Nanimokamo mada oboete iru yo
Namae yobu koe nanigenai kuse
Wasuretai noni wasuretaku nai

Nee eranda michi wa machigatte nakatta kana nante
Nee dare ni tazunete mitemo kotae wa doko nimo nai koto
Iya ni naru hodo wakatteru kara

Itsuka kikasete kimi no kuchi kara
Shiawase dayo to soshite waratte

Omoide wa soo utsukushii mama
Sotto kagi kake shimatte okoo

Kono omoi yo kono omoi yo sora e uchiagari
Hanabi no yoo ni hanabi no yoo ni utsukushiku chire

Japanese:

ねぇどうしてまた
振り返ってる　足跡辿って
ねぇあれからもう夏は
何度も　巡っているのに

何もかもまだ　覚えているよ

名前呼ぶ声　何気ないクセ
忘れたいのに　忘れたくない

ねぇ選んだ道は間違って
なかったかな　なんて
ねぇ誰に尋ねてみても
答えは　何処にもない事

嫌になる程　わかってるから

いつか聞かせて　君の口から

思い出はそう　美しいまま
そっと鍵かけ　しまっておこう

この想いよ
この想いよ
空へ打ち上がり

花火のように
花火のように
美しく散れ

English translation:

The summer has come again and again since then
But why am I looking back upon the past again
Tracing the footprints?

I remember everything even now
Your voice calling my name, your casual habits
I want to forget, and I don’t want to forget

Did I choose the right way?
But I keenly understand there is no answer
Whomever I may ask it to

Please tell me some day that you are happy
And smile

I gently lock the memories away
Leaving them to be beautiful

This feeling, this feeling, go up into the sky
And be dispersed beautifully like a firework
