Natsu no Kakera
"A Piece of Summer"
by V6
translated by Mark Neidengard


Jugyou wo nukedashite
Kimi to futari-kiri
Boku wa tsugi no wadai
Hisshi ni sagashite iru
                                        I broke out of lecture
                                        And now I'm all alone with you
                                        Frantically looking
                                        For something to talk about

Tamekonda omoi
Taoresou na yuuki
Isshun no taiyou ga
Kyuu ni tokashiteku
                                       All the feelings I've been saving...
                                       A second of sunshine
                                       Makes my faltering courage
                                       Melt in an instant
                                       

Kotoba ni dekinai kimochi  umetakute
Kimi no te wo totte
                                       I buried the feelings I can't put into
                                         words
                                       And took your hand

"You make me feel so happy"

* Natsu no kakera wo hada ni kanjite
  Kisetsu no DOA ashi de hiraketa
  Donna koto datte mou dekisou ni naru
  Issho ni itai ne
  Kitto ashita wa motto futsuu ni
  Mainichi ga sugite itte mo
  Jiyuu ni natta mama de
  Tooku ni toberu sa
                                       I felt a piece of summer on my skin
                                       And could open the door of the season
                                         with my leg
                                       It looks like I can do anything
                                       And I want to be with you
                                       Even if tomorrow things are back to
                                         normal
                                       And stay that way day after day
                                       I'll be able to fly far away
                                       With the freedom I've been given
Boku ga shiranakatta
Nukemichi wo nukeru
Kimi no himitsu motto
Shiritaku natteru
                                       I break out of a sidestreet
                                       I hadn't known about
                                       And now I'm wanting to know your secrets
                                       More than ever before

Zutto hanarenaide
Tsunaida te to te ni
Ase ga nijinde
                                       Our hands
                                       Clasped together for so long
                                       Are damp with sweat

"You make me feel so happy"

Natsu no kakera ga  mune ni hajikete
Warai nagara  Ochitsukanai mama
Bokura ga mannaka ni ikiteru tte kanji
Yakusoku shiyou
Natsu ni nattara umi e ikou yo
Hanabi toka yattari shiyou
Zutto wasurerarenai
Ima wo mata tsukurou
                                      A piece of summer breaks off in my heart
                                      While I'm laughing, unable to calm down
                                      It feels like we're living at the center
                                        of the world
                                      Let's make a promise
                                      When summer comes, let's go to the ocean
                                      Let's set off fireworks and all
                                      Let's remake "now"
                                      So that we'll never be able to forget


* Repeat
