中央フリーウェイ
調布基地を追い越し 山にむかって行けば
黄昏がフロント・グラスを染めて広がる

中央フリーウェイ
片手で持つハンドル 片手で肩を抱いて
愛してるって言ってもきこえない 風が強くて

町の灯がやがてまたたきだす
二人して 流星になったみたい

中央フリーウェイ
右に見える競馬場 左はビール工場
この道は まるで滑走路 夜空に続く

中央フリーウェイ
初めて会った頃は 毎日ドライブしたのに
このごろはちょっと冷たいね 送りもせずに

町の灯がやがてまたたきだす
二人して 流星になったみたい

中央フリーウェイ
右に見える競馬場 左はビール工場
この道は まるで滑走路 夜空に続く

夜空に続く
夜空に続く

Chuuou furii uei
Choufu kichi wo oikoshi yama ni mukatte yukeba
Tasogare ga furonto gurasu wo somete hirogaru

Chuuou furii uei
Katate de motsu handoru katate de kata wo daite
Ai shiterutte itte mo kikoenai kaze ga tsuyokute

Machi no hi ga yagate matataki dasu
Futari shite ryuusei ni natta mitai

Chuuou furii uei
Migi ni mieru keibajou hidari wa biiru koujou
Kono michi wa marude kassouro yozora ni tsuzuku

Chuuou furii uei
Hajimete atta goro wa mainichi doraibu shita no ni
Konogoro wa chotto tsumetai ne okuri mo sezu ni

Machi no hi ga yagate matataki dasu
Futari shite ryuusei ni natta mitai

Chuuou furii uei
Migi ni mieru keibajou hidari wa biiru koujou
Kono michi wa marude kassouro yozora ni tsuzuku

Yozora ni tsuzuku
Yozora ni tsuzuku

Translation

 

Chuuou freeway
Passing through the Choufu base, heading towards the hills
The twilight dyes and spreads across the front glass

Chuuou freeway
Holding onto the handle with one hand, your shoulder with the other
Saying "I love you" but you don't hear, the wind is too strong

The city lights finally light up
To us, they look like shooting stars

Chuuou freeway
The racetrack on the right, beer factory on the left
This road is like a runway connecting to the nightsky

Chuuou freeway
When we first met, I drove a car everyday, but
Now, it's a little cold if I don't send you off

The city lights finally light up
To us, they look like shooting stars

Chuuou freeway
The racetrack on the right, beer factory on the left
This road is like a runway connecting to the nightsky

Connecting to the nightsky
Connecting to the nightsky
