Summer Connection [English translation]

I feel the brimming rhythm

of that sunny island

which brings me a smile on my face

when I see that photo.

My one favourite season

will come along soon, won't it?

I put it in my pocket in anticipation,

grasping it tight.

Ah, I'm getting ahead of the present,

having that summer you gave me

all to myself.

As I rushed in

toward the tree's short shade,

I met you by chance -

so beautiful.

Burnt down to the tips of your toes,

annoyed by those girls:

even if as we made merry

it was but a daydream.

Ah, I'm getting ahead of the present,

having that summer you gave me

all to myself.

I feel the brimming rhythm

of that sunny island,

I run in the springing

light.
