Kanji

撫でて 優しく のうぜんかつらの唄のように

あなた何を見てたの?
ソーダ水越しでは あなたが揺れちゃって
あたしは迷っちゃって いつか一人になって

二人の時間も泡みたいになって
あなたの匂いを一人捜していた

昔見つけた唄は 赤い花の道を
二人がいつだって手と手を取り合って 並んで歩くのよ

私も二人みたいに あなたと並んで
いつまでも道を行けると思ってた

そして 手は探る
あなたと居た町思い出せなくなる前に
声を聴かせて 笑顔を見せて 肌を伝えて

そして 赤い花空に舞う度に
あたしとつないだ手と手 道で揺らして
このまま二人続く と言って
声を聴かせて 笑顔を見せて 肌を伝えて

撫でて 優しく あの日のようにうまく微笑むから

Romaji

nadete yasashiku nouzen katsura no uta no you ni

anata nani wo miteta no?
SO-DA sui goshi dewa anata ga yurechatte
atashi wa mayocchatte itsuka hitori ni natte

futari no jikan mo awa mitai ni natte
anata no nioi wo hitori sagashite ita

mukashi mitsuketa uta wa akai hana no michi wo
futari ga itsu datte te to te wo toriatte narande aruku no yo

atashi mo futari mitai ni anata to narande
itsu made mo michi wo ikeru to omotteta

soshite akai hana sora ni mau tabi ni

kono mama futari tsudzuku to itte
koe wo kikasete egao wo misete hada wo tsutaete

nadete yasashiku ano hi no you ni umaku warau kara

Translation

Stroke my hand, gently. Just like the song of the "nouzen katsura" *

What did you see?
Across from our glasses of soda water
You swayed and I hesitated. Someday I'll become alone

The time we spent together became like bubbles
And I searched for your scent alone

And then, I fumble around.
Before I can't recall the towns we went to
Let me hear your voice. Show me your smile. Convey it to my skin

And then, every time the red flowers fluttered in the sky
You held hands with me swinging them while walking on the street.
"We'll always be together," you said
Let me hear your voice. Show me your smile. Convey it to my skin

Stroke my hand, gently. Just like the song of the "nouzen katsura"
