Kurosawa Dia - Manatsu wa Dare no Mono? Lyrics

I dance in a red sundress
Are you staring at me?
I want to look away, and yet, I cannot look away
Ah, I want to burn with passion

Tonight, I want to know a rhythm no less than heart-throbbing
I murmured, my words more bold than usual
“Though they belong to me,
I do not want to understand these feelings at all”
The instructions from my sense of reason don’t reach me
Control is impossible

I said I want to know love like that – did my voice reach you?
I feel embarrassed, and yet,
I want to know more, I want to know more!!
All the while feeling like this is a hopeless dream

Your eyes stare at me
As I dance in a red sun dress
I want to look away, and yet, I cannot look away
To whom does midsummer belong?
I want to make it yours and mine
I say, In a season where our hearts never stop
It seems as if the door into my heart is opening for the first time
You knock knock my heart!!

The moment when my usually hesitant steps change with passion
It would normally be impossible – I feel bewildered by my impulsiveness
If I place my hand in yours, will something begin?

I had a vision that a day would surely come when I would see
The side of your face illuminated by fireworks
I can’t go back now, I don’t want to go back
Enticed by midsummer
I want it to become a summer for you and me
I say – my heart can’t stop pounding, this season!
Surrounded by a sweetly painful fragrance, I suddenly felt like I wanted to cry

Approaching, backing away… my head is growing numb from dancing
Come here, come here
I’m not afraid anymore, come what may

Your eyes stare at me
As I dance in a red sun dress
I want to look away, and yet, I cannot look away
To whom does midsummer belong?
I want to make it yours and mine
I say – it’s my heart, see? It won’t stop pounding this season
It seems as if the door into my heart is opening for the first time
You knock knock my heart!!
Ah, embrace me passionately
