#summering

追想 錆びた鉄橋 人知れず足を向けました A recollection of that rusty bridge that I secretly head towards

湿気った匂いがきっと 逸れ者の逃げ場所でした Surely, that damp odor was an escape for the outcasts

薄い缶バッヂも すぐ剥がれたシールも 全部 宝物だったのです Those thin badges, and those peeled off stickers too, were all once treasures

いつしか、真面になったんだ 其れが何でか、本当に 時折、恐ろしくなるのです Before I realized, I became more proper I don’t know why it is, really Occasionally, it becomes terrifying

バイバイ、My Dxxr 如何か、汚れないでいて 真っ青な風景に 繊細な儘でいて Bye bye, my Dxxr Somehow, please don’t get dirtied In that deep blue scenery Please just remain as is

過ぎ去る夏が 息を止めた頃に 今更、後悔に耽たのです In that passing summer when I stopped to catch my breath now, I’ve gotten lost in regret

降る、夕立に 晴れ上がりが覗く 厭に澄んだ風合いと匂いのまま In that evening shower the clearing sky peeked trough with it’s awfully clearness and odor

潸然、頬を打った*群青に 気が付けど The *blue that struck my tearful face I noticed it, but

悲しい哉、忽然と 去ってしまうのです It’s sad to say, but suddenly They’re gone

*拝啓 僕はきっと 馬鹿にされるのが嫌でした *Dear, I must have hated of being made fun of

陰気な奴とずっと 虐められるのが嫌でした With that gloomy guy, always hated of being made fun of

だから、愛しくて 手に余る物全部を That’s why I love it so much all those things that I can’t have

全部 置き去りに 生きたのです By leaving it all behind I’ve managed to to live

降る、夕立に 晴れ上がりが覗く In that evening shower the clearing sky peeked trough

吸って吐いた*群青に 溺れそうな程 I breathed in that *blue so much that I felt like drowning

卑しい哉、思うのです ずっと ‘How vile’ those thoughts were always there

*怱々 *(See notes)

バイバイ、My Dxxr 如何か、忘れないでいて 真っ青な風景に 傷を遺していて Bye bye, my Dxxr Somehow, please don’t forget in that deep blue scenery leaving behind a scar

過ぎ去る夏を 何度も書き捨てて 失う決心が付いたのです In that passing summer no matter how many times I write and throw it away I’ve already made up my mind

*入道雲はきっと 僕の描いた落書きでした Surely, those *cumulonimbus clouds were merely some scribbles I did

歪んだ空もきっと 一人分の幻でした That distorted sky is surely just an illusion for that person alone

触れれば、痛む程 目を背けたくなる程 Until it hurts to touch So much that I just want to close my eyes

全部 本物に 見えたのです It seems that everything was real

Notes :

拝啓 by itself already means "dear" (used as in ‘dear sir’, or ‘to whom it may concern’) that is usually seen in the beginning of a letter

入道雲 (cumulonimbus cloud) is a big puff of cloud that you can usually see in summer and are also in most of this MV’s background

The more direct translation for 群青 is actually ultramarine
