Invitation
English:
Before sunrise, in the still dusk, the ground seems to boil
It seems everyone's meeting up in the same old place
"It's summer!" - the border, sunburn, or a one piece*
Although there's no individuality, I envy being that cute
When I see I'm in front of everyone, I want to get the heck out of there
Riding the streetcar, where should we go?
After all, we're somewhere near the beach
But let's get some fireworks, although we shouldn't hold them
We get a little charming, sexy
Just another sign of the heat
I got a black T-shirt last year for my birthday,
Designed with holes in it, though I tried to overlook the sleeves
This year, I'm without a sound reply for, "What would you like?"
I'm satisfied just to stare at them
Will true love come from somewhere?... I hold my bony body close
Good old RAMUNE is delicious, but an "oh, my" flavor
In spite of the sweetness, I enjoy it bravely
The capsules explode inside my mouth
Now I'm disabled
This should indicate how I'm feeling
--And I guess this is everyone
--Except for you, but I'm cool
Once in a while, it's all right to forget about poor health, until morning
Once in a while, it's good to remember good health in the morning
Undoubtedly, I'm riding the train - maybe you'll show up?
I'm halfway done with a cool invitation
Using the best music for my birthday
With terrible singing
I don't want to go home yet...
Riding the streetcar, as I'm being totally shaken about
I settle down into "past summer memories"
Just maybe this was our last time, but
In my head, this one time will continue on forever
Author's comment:
*refers to a lot of different clothing - dress, bathing suit, one-piece suit, etc. probably a bathing suit in this case.
