Last Summer Whisper
杏里 Lyrics

The lyrics of "Last Summer Whisper" by 杏里 tells the story of a woman who is longing to reconnect with an old lover. The song begins with a scene of a rainy city after a parting with her lover. She wants to ask for forgiveness for calling him after they broke up, but she can't help the feeling of wanting to see him one more time at a place they used to meet. The chorus, "Baby love again," expresses the hope that she wishes to rekindle the love they once had, even if it is impossible. However, she still wants to meet him and talk about the past like old times while wearing the same scent as she did when they were still together.

The second verse shows the woman still fantasizing about the past, with the sea being associated with her lover, and her being unable to stop listening to his voice. She begs for a chance to see him again, hoping that he can forgive her for calling him. The pre-chorus, "せめて..." ("semete"), conveys her humble realization that she doesn't deserve his love and that she doesn't want to hate him.

The final verse reveals that the woman is ready to face the reality that they are not meant to be together. However, she believes that they might see each other again in the future, and she is ready to greet him with a smile even if they are each living their separate lives.

Overall, the lyrics of "Last Summer Whisper" is a beautiful reflection of the sentimentality that often comes after a breakup, the yearning to reconnect with someone, and the acceptance that some loves are meant to be just a memory.
