Title: Summer's Goodbye/ さよならの夏/ Sayonara no Natsu Original Singer: Ryoko Moriyama (1976); Aoi Teshima (2011) English Lyrics: Frances You are welcome to use the lyrics as long as you credit me. ENGLISH LYRICS The shimmering waves occlude a ship that sails Though veiled in blinding rays of light, steam clouds wave farewell Beyond the grassy knolls and down a gentle slope The breeze carries the colours of a summer day gone by My love floats in the sky just like a melody Whistling high, crooning low in an elegy My love floats in the sky, our passion grows its wings Soaring high, dipping low to the sea The sunset’s blazing fire ignites immense desire I wonder if your gentle hand will find a way to mine A gentle stranger plays piano in my dreams Its tune is as familiar as rumbles from the sea A lull late afternoon, our loved ones will go soon My dream in watercolour paints a summer day gone by My love murmurs a secret in a diary Filling pages and pages everyday My love sails like a ship that hovers on the waves Blue as sky, to the shore far away As sunset burns again, eyes water with regret For someone I had lost before to find me once again Along the promenade, we stroll always afraid Of shadows cast by every tree that shake in the storm The chapel standing still, a weathervane uphill Are painted in a seaside town in summer’s shades of warmth My love from long ago leaves tears along my face Drying out, disappearing with no trace My love so far away is but a mere refrain Endless words, verses circling in vain The sunset’s blazing fire where hearts meet with desire I feel your reassuring arms and rest in our embrace
