Tooi Kioku (Distant Memory)

W-inds

Romaji

Suna ni egaita kaze no kioku
Taiyou ga sakaseta koi
Kimi to deau koto wa kitto kokoro ni
Kizamareteta no kamo

Tooku shiroi nagisa
Hamanasu ga yurete iru
Sotto kaoru kaze ni
Nami wa tokete yuku

Ano kaigansen e to tsuzuku michi
Tooi yume no tsuzuki wo miteru you de

Meguriau koto kokoro ni saku
Hana wa wakatte ite
Mimi ni ateta kaigara sae
Kimi ni katarikakeru yo
Bokura wa kitto kono umi kara
Umarete kitan darou
Deja vu no you ni yomigaeru kioku wa
Maboroshi ja nai yo

Kitto genjitsu nado
Hitsuzen no renzoku de
Zutto sagashite ita
Guuzen wa yume no naka

Mou jikan wo tomete itsumademo
Mijikai natsu ga owaranai you ni

Nagisa ni saita hana no you ni
Kimi wa hizashi abite
Suna no ue ni suwaru shigusa
Natsukashiku omoeru
Kono shunkan wo kiritotta mama
Sono naka ni kimi ga ite
Nami no oto mo kaze no ne mo kioku wo
Yobisamasu kara

Itsuno ma ni ka hizashi katamuki
Oshimu you na nokoribi ni
Tsutsumareru

Meguriau koto boku no omoi
Tsutaeru to suru nara
Kimi ga itsumo iroasezu ni
Saki tsuzukeru you ni
Bokura wa kitto kono umi kara
Umarete kitan darou
Deja vu no you ni yomigaeru kioku wa
Maboroshi ja nai yo

English

A memory of the wind, painted in the sand
A love nurtured by the sun
The time I met you is surely
Engraved in my heart

On a white beach far away
Shore pears sway
The waves melt
Into the faintly scented breeze

The road that leads to that coastline
It’s like I’m seeing a succession of distant dreams

The flowers blooming in my heart
Know of our encounter
And even the shell I put to my ear
Tells you
We were surely born
From this sea
These memories, coming back like déjà vu
Aren’t illusions

Reality is surely
A succession of inevitabilities
And the coincidence I always searched for
Is in my dreams

I hope time stops
And this short summer never ends

Like a flower growing on the beach
You bask in the sun
I look back nostalgically
On your mannerisms as you sat on the sand
I cut out that moment
You’re in it
The sound of the waves and the sound of the breeze
Bring back memories

Before I know it, the sun’s rays slant
And I’m wrapped in embers
Of regret

If I were tell you
About meeting you and how I feel
I pray that you keep blooming
Never fading
We were surely born
From this sea
These memories, coming back like déjà vu
Aren’t illusions
