Translation of the song 花に亡霊 artist Yorushika

もう忘れてしまったかな

Have you already forgotten, I wonder?

夏の木陰に座ったまま、氷菓を口に放り込んで風を待っていた

The way we sat in the summer shade, sucking on popsicles and waiting for the wind

もう忘れてしまったかな　世の中の全部嘘だらけ

Have you already forgotten, everything in this world is filled with lies

本当の価値を二人で探しに行こうと笑ったこと

Did you forget how we laughed and said we'd search for what was really valuable together?

忘れないように　色褪せないように

So I won't forget, so it won't fade away,

形に残るものが全てじゃないように

Like these things that leave behind shapes aren't everything...

言葉をもっと教えて　夏が来るって教えて

Tell me more of your words, tell me summer will come,

僕は描いてる　眼に映ったのは夏の亡霊だ

I'm drawing it now, reflected in my eyes is a ghost of summer.

風にスカートが揺れて　想い出なんて忘れて

My skirt wavers in the breeze, as my memories fade away

浅い呼吸をする、汗を拭って夏めく

Taking shallow breaths, I wipe my sweat and feel the summer

もう忘れてしまったかな

Have you already forgotten, I wonder?

夏の木陰に座った頃、遠くの丘から顔出した雲があったじゃないか

The time we sat in the summer shade, we saw a cloud peeking over the faraway hill, right?

君はそれを掴もうとして、馬鹿みたいに空を切った手で

You tried to grab it, swiping at the sky with your hand like an idiot,

僕は紙に雲一つを描いて、笑って握って見せて

I sketched a single cloud on paper and laughed as I held it and showed you.

忘れないように　色褪せないように

So I won't forget, so it won't fade away,

歴史に残るものが全てじゃないから

These things that are left in history aren't everything, so...

今だけ顔も失くして

Just for now, your face slips from my mind,

言葉も全部忘れて

And I forget all the words,

君は笑ってる

You are smiling

夏を待っている僕ら亡霊だ

The two of us waiting for the summer are ghosts

心をもっと教えて

Tell me more of your heart,

夏の匂いを教えて

Tell me the smell of summer,

浅い呼吸をする

Taking shallow breaths

忘れないように　色褪せないように

So I won't forget, so it won't fade away,

心に響くものが全てじゃないから

These things that echo in my heart aren't everything, so...

言葉をもっと教えて

Tell me more of your words,

さよならだって教えて

Even if it's goodbye, tell me,

今も見るんだよ

I still see them now,

夏に咲いてる花に亡霊を

The ghosts in the blooming flowers of summer

言葉じゃなくて時間を

Not with words, but with time

時間じゃなくて心を

Not with time, but with the heart

浅い呼吸をする、汗を拭って夏めく

Taking shallow breaths, I wipe my sweat and feel the summer

夏の匂いがする

It smells like summer...

もう忘れてしまったかな

Have you already forgotten, I wonder?

夏の木陰に座ったまま、氷菓を口に放り込んで風を待っていた

The way we sat in the summer shade, sucking on popsicles and waiting for the wind
