[Intro — soft guitar, distant summer ambience]
[LIA — gentle]
夜空を見上げて
君の隣で
For a second
Everything stood still
[Verse 1]
Summer air against my skin
Your shoulder touching mine
We were counting down the seconds
Like we somehow had more time
You said, "Look"
And the whole sky opened
Red and gold above our heads
I looked at you instead
Maybe somewhere deep inside
I already understood
Some beautiful things disappear
Even when they're good
[Pre-Chorus]
消えないで
もう少しだけ
I know I can't ask
The night to stay
だから今
君のそばで
I'll love this moment
Before it fades
[Chorus]
Hanabi
Light up the sky
Beautiful enough
To make me wanna cry
Hanabi
Burn while you're here
Even if tomorrow
You're no longer near
If this love is only
One summer night
Then hold me while
The whole world turns bright
花火のように
We came alive
Maybe forever
Was never the point tonight
[Verse 2]
We made promises too easily
Underneath those colors
Talking like September
Could never find us
But seasons don't ask permission
And people sometimes change
Even the brightest memories
Can't make somebody stay
それでも後悔しない
君を好きになったこと
If I knew the ending
I'd still choose you
[Pre-Chorus]
あと少し
このままで
Don't tell me yet
How this will end
最後まで
空を見よう
Tonight I don't need
Forever again
[Chorus]
Hanabi
Light up the sky
Beautiful enough
To make me wanna cry
Hanabi
Burn while you're here
Even if tomorrow
You're no longer near
If this love is only
One summer night
Then hold me while
The whole world turns bright
花火のように
We came alive
Maybe forever
Was never the point tonight
[Bridge — drums fade, piano and strings]
[LIA — vulnerable]
花火は消えるから
美しいのかな
Is something more precious
Because we can't make it stay?
君といた時間は
消えたりしない
Even when the light is gone
I'll remember what it gave
So if tomorrow comes
And we're not who we were
I won't call it wasted
I won't call it a mistake
[Final Chorus — full drums, soaring guitar and strings]
Hanabi
Light up the sky
For one perfect moment
You were completely mine
Hanabi
Burn one last time
Paint every memory
Across the summer night
And if our forever
Ends with sunrise
I'll still be grateful
I was there for the light
花火が消えても
忘れない
Maybe forever
Was never measured by time
[Outro — soft guitar]
[LIA]
綺麗だったね
Wasn't it beautiful?
Hanabi...
