お祭り
Japanese original with an English translation. Onomatopoeia, chants, and vocal phrases are kept in romaji to preserve their feel.
夕焼けほどけて 提灯が灯る
The sunset unravels, and the lanterns light up.
下駄のリズムが 石畳を跳ねる
The rhythm of wooden clogs skips across the stones.
屋台の湯気と 甘い匂い
Steam from the food stalls, a sweet scent in the air,
胸の奥まで 夏が満ちる
and summer fills me to the depths of my chest.
太鼓の合図で 鼓動が揃う
At the drum's signal, our heartbeats fall into line,
笛のひかりが 空気を切る
the flute's bright sound cuts through the air.
人の波に 背中を押され
Pushed along by the wave of people,
笑い声へ 近づいてく
I draw closer to the laughter.
夜を飾れ お祭り
Adorn the night — our festival!
火花みたいに 心が弾ける
Like sparks, our hearts burst open.
手を伸ばせ お祭り
Reach out your hand — our festival!
輪になって 未来まで回れ
Form a circle, spin all the way to the future.
瞬きさえ 置いていくスピードで
At a speed that leaves even a blink behind,
今ここで 踊ろう
right here, right now — let's dance.
金魚の影が 水面をすべる
A goldfish's shadow glides across the water,
りんご飴の赤 頬に映る
the red of a candy apple reflected on your cheek.
浴衣の袖が 風をつかむ
The sleeve of your yukata catches the breeze,
見上げた空に 音がきらめく
and in the sky we look up to, the sound glitters.
神輿の通り 道が震えて
Where the shrine passes by, the street trembles,
足並みひとつ 熱に変わる
and our steps as one turn into heat.
迷いも疲れも 置いていけば
If we leave our doubts and our weariness behind,
身体が先に 歌いだす
our bodies start to sing before we do.
夜を飾れ お祭り
Adorn the night — our festival!
光の粒が 胸をくすぐる
Grains of light tickle my chest.
息を合わせ お祭り
Breathe in time — our festival!
遠くまで 響けこのステップ
Let this step ring out far away,
誰の明日も 照らせるように
so it can light up anyone's tomorrow —
今ここで 踊ろう
right here, right now — let's dance.
花火の前の 一秒の静けさ
The one second of stillness before the fireworks;
耳の奥で まだ太鼓が鳴る
deep in my ears, the drums still beat.
消えない熱を 抱きしめたら
Once I hold this heat that won't fade,
夜空に向けて もう一度
toward the night sky, once more —
夜を飾れ お祭り
Adorn the night — our festival!
火花みたいに 心が弾ける
Like sparks, our hearts burst open.
手を伸ばせ お祭り
Reach out your hand — our festival!
輪になって 未来まで回れ
Form a circle, spin all the way to the future.
光が飛んで 風が笑って
Light leaps, the wind laughs,
今ここで 踊ろう
right here, right now — let's dance.
