AUGUST (hazuki)
music&lyrics: yumi nakashima / translation: hana

I understand you can't hear
almost painfully childish
and vague words

I also know that I dirtied your days
with my almost sweetly 
inexperienced weakness

dreaming a transient dream, without realizing your dream, these young eyes
could see you from far, far away

even now sweet milk is burning my body[1]
this is what I'm crying over
to exist is to lose. without noticing, you were what I lost[2]
this is what I'm crying over, it's natural...

I don't do my best 
with the accuracy I'm expected of
your strength held me, that's how I was standing

in a too-narrow
glass bowl
without ever struggling, I stuffed the future food into my mouth[3]

going through a transient love, leading a childish shadow changing its shape, watching my body
I could see you very, very small

the sickness of love looks a little like your feelings
this is an unchanging fact
to exist is to lose. without noticing, you were what I lost
this is an unchanging fact, my heart seems like it's being crushed

is the stream of clouds continuing 
to your sky? if so, please send it to me
so that sad rain won't fall in the world you live in
all I can do is wish, this weak, powerless voice...


Comments:
1 - she's talking about how much it hurts to think of "you"
2 - my favorite line of the song. sadly, it doesn't work as well in English.
3 - not a human's food, an animal's (yes, they're seperate words in Japanese)
