あの日の香り
教室の窓 校庭を眺めて
もうすぐ桜が 色を付けていく
私にもう少し勇気があったら
今頃隣に いられたりしたかな
笑い合った日々 色褪せない
初めて話した校舎の階段
忘れられないよ
ほんの少し変えた髪型
気付いてくれて本当嬉しかった
別々の道に進むけど
好きになれてよかった
少し後ろの窓側の席で
ぼんやり外を眺めてる君は
どこか寂しそうに見えた気がした
あの頃の僕は なにも言えなかった
傘を忘れた夏の放課後
一緒に歩いたあの帰り道
君が好きだった
また少しその前髪が
伸びる頃には 遠い街にいるね
別々の道に進むけど
君に会えてよかった
キンモクセイの香りがした
煌めいていた日々の面影
あなたが笑ってますように
そっと空を見上げた
季節は過ぎていくけれど きっと忘れないよ
lalalalalala
ohhh~
lalalalalala
I think we weren't a lover
悲しい事じゃない
It was something more than love.
そう信じてる

English Translation
Fragrance of that Day
Look out the classroom window to see the school yard
Soon the cherry blooms will change color
If I had a little more courage
Maybe you’d be beside me right now
We laughed together every day, and it didn’t fade
We talked for the first time at the school’s stair case
I haven’t forgotten
When I changed my hair style a little
I was really happy you noticed
Even though we live on different streets
I’m glad I’ve come to like you
A little behind the seat by the window
Outside I could vaguely see you somewhere
Where you seemed a bit sad
Back then I couldn’t say anything
After school in the summer when you’d forget your umbrella
We’d walk together home
I liked you
Again your bangs have grown a bit
You’re in a distant town
Even though we live on different streets
I’m glad I met you
There’s a scent of fragrant olive
Your face that sparkled every day
To make you smile
We’d look to the sky
Although the season’s changing, I won’t forget
lalalalalala
ohhh~
lalalalalala
I think we weren't a lover
It’s not something sad
It was something more than love
This is what I believe
NOTE: 香り = Scent/Fragrance...they're the same thing. I used them interchangeably.
