LYRICS:
Under the blazing sun, in the sticky heat
The gray forest of buildings melts away
The never-ending final exams
Tossing and turning, unable to sleep in the noise of the ashy city
Your swiftly appearing fantasy
It shines brightly like magic
The sound of breaking waves
Your smile when your hand reaches out to mine
Spread before your eyes is the ivory Milky Way
Ivory is often used to represent purity/divinity and/or hope, peace and new beginnings
The golden season blooms,
Like our summer
No matter where we are,
No matter what season
If we’re together
Feel like summer
Your refreshing scent, your sparkling eyes
Make my heart flutter
Reality loses its strength
Even the Earth holds its breath
This moment becomes eternal
Under the hot sun
You and I become us
Over the grey city
There’s a flood of blue waves
Spread before your eyes is the ivory Milky Way
The golden season blooms,
Like our summer
No matter where we are,
No matter what season
If we’re together
Feel like summer
Even if autumn, winter and spring again come
If we are together
Above the golden sand, summer sea,
Under the hot sun
Within it, the promise of eternity shines brightly
If you imagine it
If you continue to believe
Then you’re there
Spread before your eyes is the ivory Milky Way
The golden season blooms,
Like our summer
No matter where we are,
No matter what season
If we’re together
Feel like summer
