Lyrics

Japanese

駐車場のネコはアクビをしながら
今日も一日を過ごしてゆく
何も変わらない 穏やかな街並み

みんな夏が来たって浮かれ気分なのに
君は一人さえない顔してるネ
そうだ君に見せたい物があるんだ

大きな五時半の夕やけ 子供の頃と同じように
海も空も雲も僕等でさえも 染めてゆくから…

この長い長い下り坂を 君を自転車の後ろに乗せて
ブレーキいっぱい握りしめて ゆっくりゆっくり下ってく

ゆっくりゆっくり下ってく
ゆっくりゆっくり下ってく

Romaji

chuushajou no neko wa akubi wo shinagara
kyou mo ichinichi wo sugoshite yuku
nani mo kawaranai odayaka na machinami

minna natsu ga kita tte ukare kibun na no ni
kimi wa hitori saenai kao shiteru ne
sou da kimi ni misetai mono ga aru n da

ooki na go ji han no yuuyake kodomo no koro to onaji you ni
umi mo sora mo kumo mo bokura de sae mo somete yuku kara...

kono nagai nagai kudari zaka wo kimi wo jitensha no ushiro ni nosete
bureeki ippai nigirishimete yukkuri yukkuri kudatteku

yukkuri yukkuri kudatteku
yukkuri yukkuri kudatteku
