Romanized Lyrics
Mada nokotteru ka na basutei ura
Aseta natsumatsuri no chirashi
Are kara nannen tattemo mada
Kimi wo sagashite shimau na
Matsuri no oto ni mimi wo sumaseba
Ano yuugata ni modoreru ki ga shita
Hachigatsu yo
Shinshin to hanabi saita
Kono yo de ichiban tanmei na hana
Kimi no yukata no ano aoi hana
Kono yo de ichiban choumei na hana
Karenu kioku no mama
Ano natsu no hana
Kayaku no kemuri sayonara no nokoriga
Boyakasareta tsuki
Nigotta yozora nagameta mama
Ienakatta "kirei desu ne"
Wakaregiwa ni kimi e to
Itsumo doori no "mata ne"
Inori ni kawatte
Mata natsu yo
Shinshin to hanabi saita
Kono yo de ichiban tanmei na hana
Kimi no yukata no ano aoi hana
Kono yo de ichiban choumei na hana
Owaranaide kono mama de
Oshiyoseru hitonami ga futari wo toozaketa
Toketa kakigoori de yogoreta
Migite wo iiwake ni shita
Kui ni natte kui ni natte
Sasatta mama
Ano natsu no yomei wa...
Hachigatsu, kimi ga omoidasu no ga
Ano hanabi dattara ii na
Hachigatsu yo
Shinshin to hanabi saita
Kono yo de ichiban hakumei na hana
Kimi no yukata no ano aoi hana
Kono yo de ichiban choumei na hana
Karenu kioku no mama
Ano natsu no hana
English Lyrics
I wonder if it's still there, behind the bus stop
A faded flyer from the summer festival
No matter how many years have passed since then
I still find myself searching for you
If I listen for the sounds of the festival
I feel like I can go back to that evening
Oh, August...
Fireworks blossomed deep in the night
The shortest-lived flower in all the world
That blue flower on your yukata
The longest-lived flower in all the world
An unfading memory
That summer's flower
Gunpowder smoke, the lingering scent of goodbye
A blurred and hazy moon
Staring up at that murky night sky
I couldn't say the words, "It's beautiful"
As we parted, all I said to you
Was my usual, casual "See you soon,"
Which has now turned into a prayer
Again, summer...
Fireworks blossomed deep in the night
The shortest-lived flower in all the world
That deep blue flower on your yukata
The longest-lived flower in all the world
"Don't let this end, just stay like this..."
A wave of people pushed through, pulling us apart
My right hand, sticky from melted shaved ice
I used it as my excuse
It became a regret, became a stake
Still piercing me now
The life that summer had left was...
August... I just hope the memory you recall
Is of those fireworks we saw
Oh, August...
Fireworks blossomed deep in the night
The most ephemeral flower in all the world
That pale blue flower on your yukata
The longest-lived flower in all the world
An unfading memory
That summer's flower
Japanese Lyrics
まだ残ってるかな バス停裏
褪せた夏祭りのチラシ
あれから何年経ってもまだ
君を探してしまうな
祭りの音に耳を澄ませば
あの夕方に戻れる気がした
八月よ
深々と花火咲いた
この世で一番短命な花
君の浴衣のあの青い花
この世で一番長命な花
枯れぬ記憶のまま
あの夏の花
火薬の煙 さよならの残り香
ぼやかされた月
濁った夜空 眺めたまま
言えなかった「綺麗ですね」
別れ際に君へと
いつも通りの「またね」
祈りに変わって
また夏よ
深々と花火咲いた
この世で一番短命な花
君の浴衣のあの碧い花
この世で一番長命な花
終わらないで このままで
押し寄せる人波が 二人を遠ざけた
溶けたかき氷で汚れた
右手を言い訳にした
悔いになって 杭になって
刺さったまま
あの夏の余命は…
八月、君が思い出すのが
あの花火だったらいいな
八月よ
深々と花火咲いた
この世で一番薄命な花
君の浴衣のあの蒼い花
この世で一番長命な花
枯れぬ記憶のまま
あの夏の花
