チューインガムの味がなくなるまで (Chuuin gamu no aji ga naku naru made) – Until the chewing gum loses its taste

I used to go out every Friday night
With my comrades in a blue T-bird…
To a bowling alley near the expressway
With broken neon lights

As you aimed for the split
Your ponytail
Somehow
Seems so sweet
So sad…

Aah, the chewing gum I was chewing on that day
Had long since lost its taste
Even while you remain so fresh now
Time passes, dreams fade away
As the pins explode soundlessly

As an adult, I came back to this city
How it’s changed, such cruelty
The large family-owned furniture store
Has new neon lights

What captivated me more than the score
Was the flow of your skirt’s hem
Flutter
Just like
Love…

Aah, the bubble gum I was chewing on that day
Can’t be blown into a bubble
Where, just where can I discard it?
As long as it’s a dream, we’ll wake up someday
Though we long to continue the game…

There will come a day someday
When even youth will be discarded

Aah, the chewing gum I was chewing on that day
Had long since lost its taste
Even while you remain so fresh now
Time passes, dreams fade away
As the pins explode soundlessly

Friday night ni wa itsumo dekaketa
Aoi T-baado nakama-tachi to…
Kokudou no waki no bouringu sentaa
L ga kireta neon

Supiritto wo nerai sumashita
Kimi no poniiteeru
Nazeka
Amaku
Setsunakute…

Aa ano hi boku ga zutto kandeta
Chuuin gamu wa mou aji ga shinai
Ima mo kimi wa azayaka na no ni
Toki wa nagare yume wa aseteku
Pin ga hajikeru oto mo shinai

Otona ni natte kaetta machi wa
Zankoku na hodo kawatteita
Kazoku de nigiwau kagu no oogata sutoa
Atarashii neon

Sukoa yori mo muchuu datta no wa
Yureru sukaato no suso
Koi no
You ni
Tokimeite…

Aa ano hi boku ga itsumo kandeta
Baburu gamu wa fukuramasenai
Doko ni doko ni sutereba ii no?
Donna yume mo itsuka sameru yo
Motto geemu wo tsuzuketai no ni…

Seishun mo yagate itsu no hi ka
Suteru hi ga kuru yo

Aa ano hi boku ga zutto kandeta
Chuuin gamu wa mou aji ga shinai
Ima mo kimi wa azayaka na no ni
Toki wa nagare yume wa aseteku
Pin ga hajikeru oto mo shinai

KANJI

Friday nightには いつも出かけた
青いTバード 仲間たちと…
国道の脇のボウリングセンター
Lが切れたネオン

スプリットを狙いすました
君のポニーテール
なぜか
甘く
切なくて…

ああ あの日 僕がずっと噛んでた
チューインガムはもう味がしない
今も君は鮮やかなのに
時は流れ夢は褪せてく
ピンが弾ける音もしない

大人になって帰った街は
残酷なほど変わっていた
家族で賑わう家具の大型ストア
新しいネオン

スコアよりも夢中だったのは
揺れるスカートの裾
恋の
ように
ときめいて…

ああ あの日 僕がいつも噛んでた
バブルガムは膨らませない
どこにどこに捨てればいいの?
どんな夢もいつか覚めるよ
もっとゲームを続けたいのに…

青春もやがていつの日か
捨てる日が来るよ

ああ あの日 僕がずっと噛んでた
チューインガムはもう味がしない
今も君は鮮やかなのに
時は流れ夢は褪せてく
ピンが弾ける音もしない
