UTADA HIKARU - MANATSU NO TOORIAME ENGLISH TRANSLATION
A song by Utada Hikaru in her comeback album, Fantôme, released in September 2016.
Song of the year for me.
>> ENGLISH
In the midst of a dream I awoke
Even if I close my eyes I can’t go back any more
The world that was so clear until a moment ago has become an illusion
When I was drenched in sweat you embraced me gently
You engraved so many first times in me
I stretch out my hand to a swaying new leaf
When my head is filled with memories about you
I wonder if my sadness will disappear
Tell me when…
At least I’m not alone today
I should be happy with that
I should be fine to continue living like this, but…
I’m running out of breath in this fight I can’t win
Memories of you are burned deep inside my body
If I forget them, I would disappear
Tell me, the correct way to bid a farewell
Somebody help me
My head is filled with memories about you
I want to ask you so many things right now
They’re just keep overflowing, overflowing
New buds are born
Months are changing
I want to convey this never changing feeling
Be free
Free yourself
The standing still shadow of the escorting people
My memories are suddenly
Violently grasp me and won’t let go
I love you, more and more
An endless midsummer shower
In the midst of a dream I awoke
Even if I close my eyes I can’t go back any more
The future you were there until a while ago
Visiting upon tomorrow
In this long endless rain
my thirst won’t be quenched
>> KANJI
夢の途中で目を覚まし
瞼閉じても戻れない
さっきまで鮮明だった世界 もう幻
汗ばんだ私をそっと抱き寄せて
たくさんの初めてを深く刻んだ
今日私は一人じゃないし
それなりに幸せで
これでいいんだと言い聞かせてるけど
勝てぬ戦に息切らし
あなたに身を焦がした日々
忘れちゃったら私じゃなくなる
教えて 正しいサヨナラの仕方を
誰かに手を伸ばし
あなたに思い馳せる時
今あなたに聞きたいことがいっぱい
溢れて 溢れて
木々が芽吹く 月日巡る
変わらない気持ちを伝えたい
自由になる自由がある
立ち尽くす 見送りびとの影
思い出たちがふいに私を
乱暴に掴んで離さない
愛してます 尚も深く
降り止まぬ 真夏の通り雨
夢の途中で目を覚まし
瞼閉じても戻れない
さっきまであなたがいた未来
たずねて 明日へ
ずっと止まない止まない雨に
ずっと癒えない癒えない渇き
>> ROMAJI
Yume no tochū de me wo samashi
mabuta tojite mo modorenai
sakki made senmei datta sekai mō maboroshi

zutto yamanai yamanai ame ni
zutto ienai ienai kawaki
