Summer Road / 夏の道 / Natsu no michi

-

Inspired by Takeshi Kitano's film "Kikujiro"

🍧 ☀️

*

Synthetic city pop for the lovers that neoliberalism left behind. Sung through vending machines, kissed on bullet trains, haunted by Takeshi Kitano’s quiet cinema.

七月の空は、

何も言ってくれなかった。

7Gatsu no sora wa, nani mo itte kurenakatta

The July sky said nothing at all

パパじゃないってわかってた

でも手をつないでくれた

地図のない旅でも

君の笑顔がゴールだった

Papa janai tte wakatteta demo te o tsunaide kureta

chizu no nai tabi demo kimi no egao ga gōrudatta

O sorriso dele era um mapa invisível

I knew you weren't my dad, but you held my hand,

and even on a journey without a map, your smile was the goal

His smile was an invisible map

子供の太陽は

泣いても輝く

さよなら言わなくても

もう大丈夫

Kodomo no taiyō wa

naitemo kagayaku

sayonara iwanakute mo mōdaijōbu

Mesmo sem palavras, a luz ficou

A child's sun shines even when he cries

even without goodbye, we’ll be okay

Even without words, the light remained

自販機のアイス半分こ

意味のないゲームに笑った

沈む陽のオレンジ色

二人だけの思い出

Jihanki no aisu hanbun ko iminonai gēmu ni waratta

shizumu yō no orenji-iro

futaridake no omoide

Verão é quando a gente finge que tudo vai durar

Sharing half an ice cream from the vending machine

laughing at a meaningless game

the orange color of the setting sun

a memory for just the two of us

Summer is when we pretend everything will last

子供の太陽は

大人に見えない

でも心の奥では

まだ輝いてる

Kodomo no taiyō wa

otona ni mienai

demo kokoro no okude wa

mada kagayai teru

O sol de criança nunca esquece

The sun of a child is invisible to adults

but deep in his heart it still shines

The child’s sun never forgets
