Description
A sweet, slightly naive soundtrack to summertime romantic madness. There is no pretension here, only anxious fantasies and gentle self-irony: about magic that won't work, about other people's tanned models and other people's music, about one's own timidity and inability to ‘compete.’ All this is mixed with the salty air of the beaches, melting ice cream and sudden encounters on street corners - as random as falling stars. The song sounds like the diary of a person who is afraid to get closer, but still hopes for a miracle in every chorus.
Lyrics and translation
Original
君から見た僕は きっと
ただの友達の 友達
たかが知人Bにむけられた
笑顔があれならもう恐ろしい人だ
君を惚れさせる 黒魔術は知らないし
海に誘う勇気も車もない
でも見たい となりで目覚めて
おはようと 笑う君を
会いたいんだ 今すぐその角から
飛び出してきてくれないか
夏の魔物に連れ去られ 僕のもとへ
生まれた星のもとが 違くたって
偶然と夏の魔法とやらの 力で僕のものに
なるわけないか
君の恋人になる人は
モデルみたいな人なんだろう
そいつはきっと君よりも年上で
焼けた肌がよく似合う 洋楽好きな人だ
キスをするときも 君は背伸びしている
頭をなでられ君が笑います
駄目だ 何ひとつ 勝ってない
いや待てよ そいつ誰だ
会いたいんだ 今すぐその角から
飛び出してきてくれないか
夏の魔物に連れ去られ 僕のもとへ
君が他の誰を気になっていたって
偶然と アブラカタブラな力で 僕のものに
この胸の 焦りに身を任せ
君のとこへ走ったとして 実は僕の方が
悪い意味で 夏の魔法的なもので
舞い上がってましたって
怖すぎる オチばかり浮かんできて
真夏の空の下で 震えながら
君の事を考えます
好きなアイスの味は きっと
会いたいんだ 今すぐその角から
飛び出してきてくれないか
夏の魔物に連れ去られ 僕のもとへ
生まれた星のもとが違くたって
偶然と夏の 魔法とやらの力で 僕のものに
なるわけないか
English translation
I'm sure the way you see me
just a friend friend
It was only directed at acquaintance B.
If he smiles like that, he's already a scary person.
I don't know the black magic that makes you fall in love with me
I don't have the courage or car to take you to the sea.
But I want to see it, wake up next to me
Good morning, I see you smiling
I want to see you right now from that corner
Could you please jump out?
Taken away by a summer monster and come to me
Even if I was born under a different star
Through the power of chance and summer magic, it became mine.
Isn't it possible?
who will be your lover
I guess he's like a model
He's probably older than you
He looks good with tanned skin and likes Western music.
Even when we kiss you, you stand tall
I pat your head and you laugh
It's no good. I haven't won anything.
No, wait, who is that?
I want to see you right now from that corner
Could you please jump out?
Taken away by a summer monster and come to me
No matter who else you were worried about
By chance and an abrasive force, it became mine
I surrender to the impatience in my heart
Even if I ran to you, it would actually be me
In a bad way, it's a magical summer thing.
It was soaring
It's too scary, all the punch lines come to mind
Shivering under the midsummer sky
thinking about you
I’m sure your favorite ice cream flavor is
I want to see you right now from that corner
Could you please jump out?
Taken away by a summer monster and come to me
Even if I was born under a different star
Through the power of chance and summer magic, it became mine.
Isn't it possible?
