ヨルシカ (Yorushika)
さよならモルテン (Sayonara Molten) - English Translation
[Verse 1]
With the book I borrowed in one hand
I walk along the sidewalk by the river
Two more pages and I'll get to the ending
I don't want to know what lies ahead
A boy riding on a goose's back
Flies on and on toward the north
His buddy is a goose named Molten
That's the novel I'm reading
[Chorus 1]
Goodbye, Molten
We used to try and see if we could fly
We opened our arms and jumped high
Knowing that nothing would happen
Goodbye Molten
You laughed as you rolled over
Catching a faint smell of earth
I almost got choked up inside
Summеr was already there
[Verse 2]
With sadnеss as an asset
I walk along the street in early summer
Two more pages and I'll get to the ending
I don't want to know what lies ahead yet
Chasing you who got slightly taller
I would run toward our favorite hill
Just like a goose flying in the sky
We would open up our arms
[Chorus 2]
Goodbye, Molten
We still tried to see if we could fly
Just because we didn't want to know
That we were not special
Goodbye, Molten
You laughed as you rolled over
Looking like you had no idea
The we were growing up
Summer was already there
[Bridge]
You'd grow even taller
Someday you'd be far away
We'd get separated little by little
Like growing branches
With the faded book in one hand
I walk along the street I used to know
From that hill, I'm a few hundred steps away
I see someone standing there
[Chorus 3]
Goodbye, Molten
I notice you were still trying to fly
With bright eyes
Just the way you used to be
Goodbye, Molten
I think I know now
Because we can't fly
We're precious all the more
A faint smell
I almost get choked up inside
You've been watching me
With a smile that never faded
Summer is already here
[Outro]
With the faded book in one hand
I walk along the sidewalk by the river
One more page and I'll get to the ending
Now I turn the last page
Goodbye, Molten
