"theme of a-nation'03" romaji and translation
 

Mukashi ni yoku itta natsumatsuri o oboeteru
Hagurete shimawanu yooni shikkari te o nigitte ita

Nanimokamo ga kagayaite kowai mono nante nakute
Utsukushii yume dake o otte ita ano koro

Toorinuketa kaze ga nandaka yasashisugite
koraekirezu namida ga hoo o tsutatte iru

Natsukashiku omoeru nowa toorisugite shimatta kara
Donnani kanashikute mo itsuka wa waratte hanaseru

Otona ni naru sono tochuu ushinatta mono mo atta
Dakedo ima kakegae no nai hito ga hora iru

Toorinuketa kaze ga nandaka yasashikatta
Ashita no imagoro mo anata o aishite iru

Taisetsu ni shite ne kuyamu koto nai yoo ni toki wa kakegae no nai mono dakara
Wasurenai de ne donnani inotte mitemo ima wa moo nidoto kaeranai kara

I remember the summer festivals I had often been to
Where we held fast each other's hand not to be separated

Everything was shining, nothing to fear
And I was pursuing nothing but the beautiful dreams

The passing wind is so soft somehow
That tears are running down my cheeks

Memories are sweet because we passed through the time
However sad now, we can talk about it with a smile some day

There was something I lost while I was growing up
But see, I have my dearest person now

The passing wind was so soft somehow
I will love you at this time tomorrow

Please treasure time, not to regret later, as it's irreplaceable
Please don't forget, however much we pray later, we can never get back this time

Thank you masa!! It's a sweet song!!

where did you get these from???

thanx a lot! cant wait to hear this!

Thank you Masa !!

thanks masa

Sankyuu, Masa!! You're always 1 step ahead in getting out these translations :thumbsup !!

but.. not sure if this is just a typo (it probably is ^^), but when u wrote:

Memories are sweat because we passed through the time

u meant "sweet", right? It's probably just a mistake, but I'm just making sure ;)

I hadn't noticed "sweat"! I re-read the translation and there's another place where I think there should be a correction...

"There were something I lost while growing up"

I'd change the "were" for "was".

But all in all, GREAT translation!! I admire you for being able to do this with so much ease!!

You are welcome.
And thanks for pointing out some mistakes. I change "sweat" to "sweet" and "were" to "was".

yay tankies!!!... i hope theres a PV for this one :thinks

Thnx for the translation

thanks.

thanx a lot !!

The song is really beautiful.. Thanks for the lyrics, masa-san..

Thank you. A good song for the end of a summer festival.
