la la la ...

Machikogarete ita kisetsu ga yatte kite
Zawamekidasu kaze ugokidasu machinami

Itsumo yori asa no otozure ga hayakute
Soredake de umaku arukeru yoona sonna ki ga shite

Mune o itameru hanashi bakari ga konogoro ja afureteru kedo
Kanashimi no tame ni tanoshimu koto okizari ni shinaide ite

* Mijikai natsu ga hajimatte iku
Kimi to ikutsu no omoide tsukuroo
Taiyoo wa tada hikari kagayaki
Nami wa itsumo yosete wa kaeshiteku

Biru no sukima kara ibitsu ni togaru sora
Itsuka mita sora wa hatenaku hirokatta

Kokoro ni kumo ga oou hi mo soba ni ite
Odayaka na hohoemi kureru koto kansha shite iru

Sore wa atarimae na wake ja nai demo hitsuzen kamo shirenai
Mamoru beki mono ga tashika ni aru kono omoi o wasurenai

Mijikai natsu ga owari o tsugeru
Sono shunkan mo kimi to mukaeyoo
Nante koto nai mainichi koso ga
Naniyori mo suteki datte shitteru kara

* repeat

The season I was looking forward to has come
The wind is stirring, the city is taking life

The morning comes earlier than usual
I feel I can walk well only for that

There are plenty of terrible news around nowadays
But please don't leave pleasure behind because of sadness

* The short summer is starting now
How many memories can I make with you?
The sun is just shining bright
And the waves are always rolling on the shore

The distorted, sharp sky among the buildings
The sky I saw once was wide and limitless

I thank you for being by my side and giving me a gentle smile
Even when my heart is covered with clouds

It's not a matter of course, but might be of necessity
I never forget this feeling that I certainly have what I should protect

This short summer will come to an end
I'll be with you at the moment, too
As I know
Nothing is so nice as the ordinary days

* repeat

Machi kogareteita kisetsu ga yatte kite
Zawameki dasu kaze ugoki dasu machinami

Itsumo yori asa no otozure ga hayakute
Sore dakede umaku arukeru youna sonna ki ga shite

Mune o itameru hanashi bakari ga kono goro ja afureteru kedo
Kanashimi no tame ni tanoshimu koto oki sari ni shinai de ite

Mijikai natsu ga hajimatteiku
Kimi to ikutsu no omoide tsukurou
Taiyou wa tada hikari kagayaki
Nami wa itsumo yosete wa kaeshiteku

Biru no sukima kara ibitsu ni togaru sora
Itsuka mita sora wa hatenaku hirokatta
this is the lyric

kokoro ni kumo ga oou hi mo soba ni ite
Odayaka na hohoemi kureru koto kansha shiteiru

Sore wa atari mae na wake janai
Demo hitsuzen kamo shirenai
Mamoru beki mono ga tashika ni aru kono omoi o wasurenai

Mijikai natsu ga owari o tsugeru
Sono shunkan mo kimi to mukaeyou
Nante koto nashii mainichi koso ga
Nani yorimo suteki datte shitteru kara

Mijikai natsu ga hajimatteiku
Kimi to ikutsu no omoide tsukurou
Taiyou wa tada hikari kagayaki
Nami wa itsumo yosete wa kaeshiteku

This song grew really fast on me! And now that I read the translation I can see how the lyrics combine a lot with the song!

I particularly loved this part:

"There are plenty of terrible news around nowadays
But please don't leave pleasure behind because of sadness"

hahaha Such positive feelings from Ayu! This song really makes you feel in a good mood!

Thanks a lot for the translations masa!

Masa-san, arigato gozaimashita.

''I thank you for being by my side and giving me a gentle smile
Even when my heart is covered with clouds''

i love this part, it is like ayu writing to her bf

I thought so at first, too. But after watching the PV, I changed my thought. I think now she wrote this for her close friends, just as the song of a year before, "July 1st." And I realized why she titled this single as "&". It was the literally continuation of the single "H" as below.

"independent" --> "ourselves" (for her boyfriend)
"July 1st" --> "Greatful days" (for her close friends)
"HANABI" --> "HANABI episode II" (for her old boyfriend)

Btw, I'd like to change one part as below.
From "How many memories can I make with you?"
To "How many memories shall we make together?"
which I think is more loyal to the original Japanese lyrics.

xiaohui · #15 11th July 2003, 01:48 PM

Translation
---------------------

Ca serait magnifique qu'il en soit pour toujours comme maintenant
Ce doux baiser qui ne s'arreterait pas

Au moment où nous nous somme rencontré cet été,
je voulais ressentir ce frais et palpitant sentiment :
Je me reflete pour toujours dans tes yeux

Ce court été qui arrive et commence
"Combien de fois vais-je repenser à ces moments passés avec toi ?"
Le soleil bille tout simplement avec tant d'éclat et
les vagues bougent toujours avec ce meme mouvement de va et vient

Un jour serement les impressions magiques ne se feront plus ressentir,
Ce n'est jamais bon de garder tout cela en soit meme (????)

je veux continuer de t'aimer
Tu sais que
J'ai regarder ta figure endormie
dans la voiture que j'avais arrétée au bord de la mer ?

Ce court été qui arrive et commence
Ma lumineuse peau bronzée est devenue rouge
Ton sourir, ton futur,
je veux les protéger

Ce court été qui arrive et commence
"Combien de fois vais-je repenser à ces moments passés avec toi ?"
Le soleil bille tout simplement avec tant d'éclat,
Les battements de mon coeur ont un simple écho

Meme si cet été fini
Je veux toujours m'en souvenir
L'etre deux fois ou pas une seule,
ce sera toujours
Les adultes que nous sommes devenus
le trésor de notre partage (de notre symbiose ?)

Sorry, but it doesn't seem to be the translation of the original lyrics except the four lines below. Would you confirm it?

>Ce court été qui arrive et commence
>"Combien de fois vais-je repenser à ces moments passés avec toi ?"
>Le soleil bille tout simplement avec tant d'éclat et
>les vagues bougent toujours avec ce meme mouvement de va et vient
