Verse 1

sakamichi o nobotta saki no kuragari hoshi ga kirei ni mieru tte sa

In the dark at the top of the hill, you said the stars look so pretty

jibeta ni nekoronjau atari aa kimi rashii na tte omottari

The way you'd just lie down on the ground, ah, I thought that's so you

jikan o wasurete muchuu ni natta akashingou wa tenmetsushiteiru

We lost track of time, totally caught up, the red light is blinking

hadasamuku narihajimeta kisetsu ni bokura wa hajimete te o tsunaida futari no monogatari

In the season when it started getting chilly, we held hands for the first time, the story of us two

Verse 2

futari de hitotsu no kasa o sashitari buranko ni nori hoshi o nagametari

Sharing one umbrella between us, riding the swings and gazing at the stars

oshibotanshiki no shingouki o itsumo kimi ga hashitte osu kudari

That bit where you always ran ahead to press the button at the crosswalk

aomuke ni natte mita mizuumi chuu ni uiteru mitai tte sa

The lake we saw lying on our backs, you said it's like we're floating in the sky

Prechorus 1

hashaideru kimi to sono yoko de sa motto hashagu boku nara

With you all excited, and me beside you even more excited, then maybe

hontou ni toberu you na ki ga shiteita

I felt like we could really fly

fuwafuwa to yumegokochi kimi no tonari

Floating like in a dream, right beside you

Chorus 1

kimi no miru keshiki o zenbu

Every view you see, all of it

boku no mono ni shitemitakattanda

I wanted to make it all mine

aa kimi o wasureraren naa

Ah, I just can't forget you

rarararararara rarararararara

rararararararara

Verse 3

atarimae ni kayotteta ano michi shingouki wa nakunaru mitai desu

That road I always used to take, I hear its traffic lights are going away

omoidashite setsunakunaru kimochi mo itsuka wa nakunaru mitai desu

And the ache I feel when I remember, I hear that'll go away someday too

souieba samui yuki furu hi no tawayama no mujin kouen de sa

Now that I think of it, on a cold, snowy day, in the empty park at Tawayama

Prechorus 2

furueru karada kurai naka itsumo no you ni waraiau gaitou no shita de

Shivering, in the dark, we laughed together like always, under the streetlight

boku no me ni utsurikonda kimi ga

You, reflected in my eyes

itsumo yori chotto sabishisouna ki ga shita

Seemed a little lonelier than usual

Bridge 1

ima ni natte sa omoidashite sa

Only now, you know, I'm remembering it all

koukai ja nani mo kaiketsushinai sa

But regret won't fix anything

wasurerarenai no wa ukeirerarenai no wa

The reason I can't forget, the reason I can't accept it

kimi o omoide ni dekiru hodo boku wa tsuyoku wa nai kara

Is I'm not strong enough to let you become just a memory

Chorus 2

boku no mita keshiki o zenbu

Everything I've seen, all of it

kimi ni mo miseteyaritakattanda

I wanted to show it to you too

attakai kokoa o hitokuchi

A sip of warm cocoa

itsuka mata au hi made to

Saying "until the day we meet again someday"

warau kao ni uso wa miataranai

There's no lie to be found in your smiling face

jaane jaane

See ya, see ya

mata dokka tooku de itsuka

See you again somewhere far away, someday

rarararararara rarararararara

rarararararara

夢心地 — dreamlike state / feeling as if in a dream

夢心地 describes the floaty, blissful feeling of being immersed in a dream. It is more poetic than simply saying "happy" or "dreaming," making it a memorable expression for learners.

In the song, フワフワと夢心地 captures the singer's feeling of drifting beside the person he loves, so enchanted by their shared moments that reality seems almost unreal.

"いつか" (Someday) is Saucy Dog looking back at a relationship through a pile of tiny, specific memories, and that's what makes it hit. There's no big dramatic breakup scene. Instead you get her lying down on the ground to look at the stars, the two of them sharing ひとつの傘 (one umbrella), sitting on swings, and best of all, the push-button traffic light that she always ran ahead to press: "いつも君が走って押すくだり" (the bit where you always ran and pressed it). The word くだり means a "bit" or "routine", like a running joke between two people, and it's such a sweet detail.

Then the song turns. "信号機は無くなるみたいです" (it seems the traffic light is going away), and right after, the feeling of missing her "いつかは無くなるみたいです" (will someday go away too, it seems). That parallel is quietly brutal. He mentions a snowy day at an empty park in 田和山 (Tawayama, a real place name), where she looked "ちょっと寂しそう" (a little lonely) under a streetlight, and he admits "君を思い出にできる程僕は強くはない" (I'm not strong enough to turn you into a memory). The ending is gentle rather than bitter: a sip of warm cocoa, her smile with "嘘は見当たらない" (no lie to be found), and a casual じゃあね (see ya) with the hope of meeting "またどっか遠くでいつか" (somewhere far away again, someday). Watch for the casual speech here, like 忘れられんなぁ (I just can't forget), a dialect-flavoured way of saying 忘れられないなあ.
