Aokage

English translation

Blue deer

いつもよりも向かい風が強く

The winds are stronger than usual today.

ペダルを踏む足も疲れてきた

My legs pedaling the bike have gotten tired.

少しだけ遠回りになるけれど

This will be going a little bit out of my way, but…

風を凌げる細い小道通っていこう

I'll ride down the narrow paths out of the wind.

もっと早く出掛ければよかった

I should have left earlier.

時間には間に合わなさそうだ

It doesn't look like I'll be on time.

きっと君は不機嫌になってる

You're probably in a bad mood now.

言い訳探せるかな?

I wonder if I can come up with a good excuse?

あのタバコ屋さんを曲がったら赤い屋根が見えてくる

Once I turn by that cigarette store, I'll see the red roof.

大きな犬がいつものように吼えてくるはずだから

And the big dog who lives there will start to bark, as usual.

それを合図に君が窓から顔出して笑ってる

And hearing this, you'll stick your smiling face out the window.

そうだとうれしいんだけど…

Or at least I hope that's what'll happen…

思っていたよりは怒っていない

You're not as mad as I thought you'd be.

だけどやけに僕より先に行く

But for some reason, you ride a ways in front of me.

さっき言った言い訳が嘘のように

The excuse I just told you is starting to sound like a lie.

背中を押す風に変わっている

The winds have changed so they now push my back.

「待ってくれよ!」なんて言える立場じゃない

I'm in no place to say, Hey, wait up!

君の前に行くのも違う気がする

But it also wouldn't seem right to speed up in front of you.

しばらくはこのままで居ようか

I guess I'll just stay this way for a while.

やっぱり怒ってるのかな?

I guess you're mad after all?

通りすがりの人から見れば不思議に写っただろう

Random passers-by probably thought we looked funny.

「真剣な顔した男女が追いかけごっこしている」

A boy and girl with serious expressions are playing chase.

追い風に乗った自転車は加速してゆくばかり

The bicycles riding with the current of the wind accelerate more and more.

遅れた分取り戻せるかも…

Maybe we can retrieve the time we lost…

あの急な坂登りきったら青影トンネルだ

After we whiz past that tight curve, we'll be in the blue-shadowed tunnel.

車の排気ガスで煙いのを少しだけ我慢すれば

And if we put up with the car exhaust for just a little bit…

目の前が広くなった先に目指す海が見えるよ

Then in front of our eyes, a broad, empty beach awaits us.

そしたら機嫌直してね

When we get there, please cheer up.
