Romanized Lyrics
Yurameita shinkirou
Asufaruto kara fukushanetsu to
Futashika na koigokoro ni
Irodorareta nettaiya
Hagareochita konkuriito
Kuroi abura ni mamireta dakuto
Katsute kono machi wa marude
Kyodai na meiro datta
Natsukashii basho
Sanjuusan do no manatsu no taiyou hankouki
Sanbyaku rokujuu do maware senpuuki
Tokedasu koori ga usumeru

Kono natsu ni zenbu kogasarete
Omokage ni nagasarete

English Lyrics
A wavering mirage hangs in the air
Radiant heat rises from the asphalt lair
And this uncertain feeling of love…
A tropical night painted by all of the above
Concrete, cracked and peeling away
Ducts all smeared in oil, black and grey
This city once truly seemed to be
A colossal maze surrounding me…
Such a nostalgic place
33 degrees, midsummer sun in its rebellious phase
The electric fan spins round, a 360-degree haze
Melting ice just waters down
My iced coffee in this town…
Scorched by this summer, burned away, everything
Swept away by the ghosts of what used to be…
Am I keeping up appearances properly?
In this heat, it feels like all my memories
Might simply melt away into the breeze
Even if this city fills me up with nostalgic sighs
I haven't accepted anything, I realize
On nights like this when sleep just won't arrive…
Repeating, repeating
Even in this world cycling unending
Let me feel that I can still be me
Just let me feel it…
Bring me that mystery
Like ice that won't melt in midsummer's decree
Bring it here to me
Repeating, repeating
Even this season, constantly fleeting
Let me believe it's only for this summer we're meeting
Just let me believe it…
Flickering neon signs glow…
Feels like I could fall in love on this sleepless night, you know
Ah…
Past and future intersect and braid
The heat pump cycle endlessly replayed
Maybe it would have been better, anyway
If this city had fallen into ruin long before today
33 degrees, midsummer, ACs working overtime, you see
The outdoor unit on the balcony spins at full capacity
Shaved ice? I could eat maybe thirty-three…
Scorched by this summer, burned away, everything, endlessly
It's just a midsummer ghost, tied to the summertime
Haunting me through these days
In this heat, it feels like all my memories
Might simply melt away in a haze
Even if this city fills me up with nostalgic sighs
I haven't accepted anything, I realize
On nights like this when sleep just won't arrive…
Repeating, repeating
Even in this world cycling unending
Let me feel that I can still be me
Just let me feel it…
Bring me that mystery
Like ice that won't melt in midsummer's decree
Bring it here to me
Repeating, repeating
Even this season, constantly fleeting
Let me believe it's only for this summer we're meeting
Just let me believe it…
Flickering neon signs glow…
Feels like I could fall in love on this sleepless night, you know
