Japanese
光る海に　かすむ船は さよならの汽笛　のこします ゆるい坂を　おりてゆけば 夏色の風に　あえるかしら わたしの愛　それはメロディー たかく　ひくく　歌うの わたしの愛　それはカモメ たかく　ひくく　飛ぶの 夕陽のなか　呼んでみたら やさしいあなたに　逢えるかしら

だれかが弾く　ピアノの音 海鳴りみたいに　きこえます おそい午後を　往き交うひと 夏色の夢を　はこぶかしら わたしの愛　それはダイアリー 日々のページ　つづるの わたしの愛　それは小船 空の海をゆくの 夕陽のなか　振り帰れば あなたはわたしを　探すかしら

散歩道に　ゆれる木々は さよならの影を　おとします 古いチャペル　風見の鶏 夏色の街は　みえるかしら きのうの愛　それは涙 やがて　かわき　消えるの あしたの愛　それはルフラン おわりのない言葉 夕陽のなか　めぐり逢えば あなたはわたしを　抱くかしら

Translation
The ship veiled in the shining sea leaves a whistle of the good-bye. Will I meet the wind of summer color if I go down the gentle slope? My love, it's a melody. I sing highly and low. My love, it's a gull. I fly highly and low. Will I meet tender you if I call for you in the setting sun?

The sound of the piano somebody plays sounds like sea rumble. Do people coming and going in the late afternoon carry the dream of summer color? My love, it's a diary. I spell a daily page. My love, it's a boat. I go the sea of sky. Will you look for me if I look back in the setting sun?

Trees shaking in a promenade cast a good-bye shadow. Can the weathercock of an old chapel see the town of summer color? The yesterday love, it's tears. It dries before long and disappears. The tomorrow love, it's a refrain. Words without the end. Will you hug me if I meet you in the setting sun?
