瞳いっぱいの夏

早起きに1億ドルの太陽
いますぐに会いたいよ そんなわがまま聞いて
受話器を置いてすぐ 自転車飛ばしてよ
だってこんな凄い空だから
 
公園の止められた噴水も
水を高く上げるよ うんと光を浴びて
ひさしぶりの虹が この街を飾って
おまちかねの季節だよと合図をしてる
 
二人には初めての夏が来る
こんなにもドキドキの夏になる
いまキミと(キミだけをみつめて)
この空で(空の下 ふたりで)
瞳をいっぱいにしたい
 
1秒で雲だって変わるから
時計なんていらない夏時間なの いつも
ジーンズにTシャツ キミのトレードマーク
よく似合うよ みつけたなら うれしくなるの
 
自転車の短パンに夏が来る
大好きでドキドキの夏にいる
いまキミと(特別の季節を)
この空で(太陽にお願い)
胸までいっぱいになるよ
 
噂では 海のほうで 風が生まれてる
 
みんなにも初めての夏が来る
誰だってドキドキの夏になる
いまキミと(キミだけをみつめて)
この空で(空の下 ふたりで)
瞳をいっぱいにしたい

Summer Filled Eyes

I wake up early to the beautiful $100M worth morning sun...
...and miss you right away. Please listen to my selfish request
Hang up the phone now and quickly hop on your bike
Today's sky is too beautiful after all
 
Even though the fountain area in the park is still closed,
...the water shoots up high, bathed in abundance of sunlight
A rainbow adorns the city for the first time after a while,
...showing that my long awaited season is near
 
Our first summer together is coming
It's going to be such an exciting summer
(~can't take my eyes off you~) Together, we...
...look up to the sky. A vast sky as far as I can see,
...I want it to fill up my sight
 
The clouds can change in any second so...
...I don't need to check my watch. It's summer time after all
You'll be in your trademark looks, t-shirt and jeans
The outfit suits you, I'll be glad every time I see you in it
 
Summer is coming, it's time to wear my bicycle shorts again
The summer that I love so much and so excited about
Now I'm with you, this will be a special season
The sun up in the sky, please...
...fill up our hearts with your light
 
The tale has it that the wind blows to the sea so it can reborn
 
To some couples too, their first summer together is coming
It's going to be an exciting summer for everyone
(~can't take my eyes off you~) Together, we...
...look up to the sky. A vast sky as far as I can see,
...I want it to fill up my sight
