Yamashita Tatsuro(山下達郎)/ LOVELAND ISLAND

Original Lyrics 日本語歌詞

Oh, loveland
目めくるめく夏なつの午後ごご
mekurumeku natsu no gogo
誰だれもが木陰こかげに逃にげ込こんでた
daremo ga kokage ni nigekondeta
焼やけつく石畳いしだたみの彼方かなたに
yaketsuku ishidatami no kanata ni
揺ゆららめく逃にげ水みずの中なかから
yurameku nigemizu no naka kara
燃もえる様ようなステップに身みを任まかせ現あらわれた人ひとは
moeru youna suteppu ni mi wo makase arawareta hito wa

Oh, loveland
頬ほほに零こぼれる汗あせが 乾かわいた道みちの上うえに落おちると
hoho ni koboreru ase ga kawaita michi no ue ni ochiru to
突然とつぜんこんな砂漠さばくの街まちが 南みなみのオアシスに変かわる
totsuzen konna sabaku no machi ga minami no oashisu ni kawaru

Oh, island
きっとあの人ひとのせい あなたの瞳ひとみを向むけて
kitto ano hito no sei anatano hitomi wo mukete

Oh, loveland, oh, island
I love you, I love you
Oh, loveland, oh, island
I love you

夢ゆめの後あと辿たどる様ように 気きが付つくと 見みえなくなっていた
yume no ato tadoru you ni ki ga tsuku to mienaku natteita

Oh, loveland
ふいに現あらわれ消きえた あの人ひと きっと夏なつの女神めがみさ
hui ni araware kieta ano hito kitto natsu no megami sa
光ひかりの愛あいはここにもあると
hikari no ai wa koko nimo aru to
Oh, loveland 教おしえに来きたんだ
oshie ni kitanda

Oh, loveland, oh, island
I love you, I love you
Oh, loveland, oh, island
I love you

English Lyrics

On a dazzling summer afternoon, 
everyone fled to the shade of the trees. 
She emerged with flaming steps 
from the mirage shimmering beyond the burning cobblestones

Oh, loveland. 
Once the sweat running down her cheeks fell on the dry road, 
suddenly, this desert town turned into a southern oasis.

Oh, island. 
It must be because of her. 
Turn your eyes towards me.

[Chorus]
Oh, loveland, oh, island
I love you, I love you
Oh, loveland, oh, island
I love you

As if following a dream, 
I found myself losing her out of sight

Oh, island. 
She came and was gone out of the blue. 
I'm sure she's the goddess of summer.
She came to tell that the shining love is here too.
