An embarrassing memory comes, my hands1 shake
If it's happiness, it has to be you
When I croon old songs, I see that convincing image
If I can't touch it, it's better to just fade

The sun sets and cicadas swarm the entwining streets
If only these linked hands don't let go
The things that supported me were always...

They were the delight of laughter, they were the kindness of forgiveness
The small things that seemed overlooked were special
Fireworks flower over the Sumida River, I'll go to where they land to meet you
Right in the middle of the shifting seasons, everything was beautiful

That yukata obi, the vermillion shadows lit by paper lanterns
In my heart, it always stuck
The two of us that burst onto the unchanging streets
The only things changing were us, after all
The things that vividly colored the days were always...

They were an accumulated happiness, they were a bond of joined words
The almost forgotten trivial things were special
Fireworks flower over the Sumida River, I'll go to where they land to meet you
While knowing that the shifting seasons won't stop

Like the bugs swarming about a fire's shadow, I yearned2 for you
If only I had cast off the childish bravado and become honest

Truly, what I wanted was just that smile
For just that, I felt like I could go anywhere
Fireworks flower over the Sumida River, right under them we met and parted
Can you hear the thanks, for everything that you've given me?

The hands are also described as "opening a book", as in opening the story of the past, but I couldn't think of a translation that incorporated this. ↩

The word used for "yearn" contains the character 焦, which means "to be burnt", linking the previous line's fire imagery. ↩
