Hansodetenshi Meaning & Lyrics (Hkt48)
Takahiro Iguchi writes about a short sleeved angel in a summer uniform. The songwriter notes a sea of school backpacks drifting by the station roundabout. He adds a line, My heart was screaming, I love you.
Eki mae no rotary yukikau rosen busThe route buses come and go at the station roundabout.
School backpack no mure nagasaretekuA sea of school backpacks drifts along with the crowd.
Kyou mo taikutuna ichinichi ni naru toI’d resigned myself to another boring day,
Akirameteta kedo gouzenbut then, it happened so suddenly.
High speed no machiIn this high-speed city,
Doutai shiryoku de ninshiki dekitamy eyes caught a clear sight of you.
Hansode no tenshi yo natsu no seifukuYou’re a short-sleeved angel in a summer uniform.
Masshirona shirt ga habane no you daneYour pure white shirt looks just like wings, doesn’t it?
Hirahira to mai nagara toozakatta shunkanThe moment you fluttered away into the distance,
Furimuku kimi gayou turned back to look,
Cute sugiruand you’re just too cute!
Joshikousei darake no bus ga dete ikuA bus packed with high school girls pulls away.
Doko ni mo aru youna koukei dakedoIt’s a common sight you’d find anywhere, but…
Tsugi ni aeru no wa itsu ni naru no darouI wonder when the next time I’ll see you will be?
Kokoro ga sakandeta love youMy heart was screaming, “I love you!”
Otona ni nattatteEven when I grow up and become an adult,
Ai to junsuisa ushinaitakunaiI don’t want to lose my capacity for love or my purity.
Kataomoi tenshi yo soba ni ite kureMy angel of unrequited love, please stay near me.
Boku kara chikai tsuugakuro kennai deJust being close to me on my route to school,
Kotoba sae kawasazu surechigau dake deeven if we just pass by without saying a word,
Soredemo kimi nieven so, because of you,
Tokimeiterumy heart is racing.
Kaeri mo aitai naI want to see you on my way home, too.
Koko de matteitara kimi wa kuru kaiIf I wait right here, will you show up?
Hansode no tenshi yo natsu no seifukuYou’re a short-sleeved angel in a summer uniform.
Masshirona shirt ga habane no you daneYour pure white shirt looks just like wings, doesn’t it?
Hirahira to mai nagara toozakatta shunkanThe moment you fluttered away into the distance,
Furimuku kimi gayou turned back to look,
Cute sugiruand you’re just too cute!
