The Magic of Summer Lyrics Translation – Niina
Niina writes about sunrise over a beach, the sand slipping through toes. The artist adds a line Your smile lights the sea that translates to Your smile brightens the ocean. The verses mention a kite drifting above waves, a concrete reminder of youthful hope.
Saisho kara kizuiteita kamo neMaybe I’ve noticed it from the very start.
Kore wa hitonatsu no koi isshun no mabataki mo dekinai kuraiThis is a summer love, so brief I can’t even blink.
Koi ni ochita shunkan nante oboete nai kedoI don’t remember the exact moment I fell in love,
Tabun sou da na kimi no egao toka nebut it was probably because of your smile.
Sonna koto bakka kimi ni wa ienai kedoI can’t say things like that to you,
Sore ijou motto kimi ni suki da tte tsutaetai nonieven though I want to tell you how much more I love you.
Natsu no mahou de kimi wo tsuredashiteI’ll take you away with summer’s magic,
Karamatta yubisaki dewith our fingers intertwined.
Kimi ga mahou ni kizukanai you niSo you won’t notice the magic,
Ryou no te de dakishimeteI’ll hold you tight with both my arms.
Mahou ga toketa tte kimi ga yoko ni iru you niSo you’ll still be by my side even when the spell breaks,
Ima no uchi ni suki ni sasenai to neI’ve got to make you fall for me while I still can.
Saisho kara kimatteita kamo neMaybe it was decided from the start.
Kimi ni boku wa niawanai sou da na bukiyou dashi neI’m not a good match for you; I’m just so clumsy.
Koi ni ochita riyuu nante wakannai kedoI don’t know the reason why I fell in love,
Tabun ano hi no hitomebore toka kanabut maybe it was love at first sight that day.
Kimi no koto bakka bakkari kangaeteruI’m thinking about you all the time.
Me ga au to kowakute ienai jibun ga iya ni naru naI hate how I get scared and can’t say a word when our eyes meet.
Koboreochita namida no riyuu toka hanashite hoshii keredoI want you to tell me why those tears fell,
Boku wa sonna tachiba janai tada no tomodachi debut I’m not in that position; I’m just a friend.
Kimi no suki na tabemono toka dattaraIf it’s about your favorite foods or things like that,
Itsu datte katte kuru kimi no tame naraI’ll always buy them for you, if it’s for your sake.
Mahoutsukai ni wa narenai kedoI can’t be a wizard, though.
Aa neru ma mo oshinde kimi wo omouI spend even my sleeping hours thinking of you.
Yume de aeta ra asa munashiku naru shiIf I see you in my dreams, the morning just feels empty.
Ashita nani shiteru kana tokaI wonder what you’re doing tomorrow,
Kantan ni renraku dekita ra ii noniand I wish I could just reach out to you easily.
Koi no mahou de kimi wo tsuredashiteI’ll take you away with love’s magic,
Karamatta yubisaki dewith our fingers intertwined.
Kimi ga mahou ni kizukanai you niSo you won’t notice the magic,
Ryou no te de dakishimeteI’ll hold you tight with both my arms.
Hanabi ga owatte mo kimi ga yoko ni iru you niSo you’ll still be by my side even when the fireworks end,
Ima no uchi ni suki ni sasenai to neI’ve got to make you fall for me while I still can.
Kono natsu no mahou deWith this summer magic.
