松任谷由実 - リフレインが叫んでいる

Yumi Matsutoya – A refrain is crying     

I’m wondering why we encountered each other  

We hugged each other, nearly destroying ourselves  

The setting sun we viewed in the last spring  

Disappeared behind the hood (bonnet)  

While illuminating the mackerel sky  

I will go back to the last curve  

I think that I saw you at that parking lot from which we went down to the beach  

I’m wondering why we had a breakup

While loving each other that much

The light on the cape brightens

Standing at the same place,

I only feel the sea breeze embracing my shoulders

I played the worn-out cassette tape for the first time in a long time

The refrain I had not noticed in the past is crying plaintively

I’m wondering why I was not able to be kind to you as much as possible

As I am no longer able to see you

Wandering around an unforgettable landscape several times,

You stop regretting

Time to run after giving up on the beautiful sunset

I’m wondering why we encountered each other

We hugged each other, nearly destroying ourselves

I’m wondering why we had a breakup

While loving each other that much

I’m wondering why I was not able to be kind to you as much as possible

As I am no longer able to see you
