| Artist: 山崎あおい (Yamazaki Aoi) Song Title: 夏海 (Natsumi; Summer Sea) Album: Aoiro Track Number: 3 Released: 2014 Lyrics By: Yamazaki Aoi |
What I love most about Yamazaki Aoi is her way with words. This song has such a simplistic subject matter, but it's written (and performed) in such a passionate way. The last two lines of the song are especially beautiful. :3

| 「今年の花火は恋人と行くの」 嬉しそうに話して私を置いていく こんな晴れた日には海へ行くのかな? 楽しげな声にまた胸がきゅんとなるの 「寂しくない」は嘘じゃないのに 風の匂い 一人が寂しくなる季節 夏の海に憧れ 遠く夢見た甘い香りが 過ぎてゆく隣に君は居ない 強いから平気だよ また一人になりたがる私 疲れたみたい 今年の夏もまた一人 好きという気持ちがどれほどのものか 知ってしまった日から前に進めない ねえ怖いの 私このまま 君以上を見つけられぬまま消えそうで 夏の海は遠く 思い出に憧れているだけ 疲れたみたい今年の夏もまた一人 私きっと 本当は寂しいの 本当は誰かに 恋してみたいの 海もこの花火も 誰かと二人で手を繋いで 見られたら思い出なんて振り返らない 強いから平気って また一人になりたがる私 疲れたみたい 私も次の夏は 誰かと二人で笑っていたい 笑っていたい 笑っていたい |

“Are you going to see the fireworks with a lover this year?” I'm left behind, as they talk delightfully. Are you going to the sea on a sunny day like this? My heart thumps when I hear your happy voice again. “I’m not lonely,” that’s not a lie, but the scent of the wind all alone makes this season feel lonely. I long for the summer sea, that sweet scent I distantly dreamed of. You’re not beside me, but because I’m strong, I’ll be okay! I’m wanting to be alone again. I’m exhausted, and I’m alone again this summer. Saying “I love you,” how deep are feelings like that? Since the day I discovered it, I can’t go forward. Hey, it’s scary remaining as I am. It seems I’m going to vanish, unable to ever find you. The summer sea is far away, I’m just longing for the memories. I’m exhausted, and I’m alone again this summer. The truth is, I’m undoubtedly lonely, and the truth is, I want to fall in love with someone. The sea, these fireworks, holding hands with someone, even if I see it, I can’t look back on memories like that. But because I’m strong, I say I’ll be okay – I’m wanting to be alone again. I'm exhausted, but next summer, I want to laugh with someone. I want to laugh, I want to laugh. |
