Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
誰のあこがれにさまよう
青空に 残された
私の心は 夏模様
夢が覚め 夜の中
永い冬が 窓を閉じて
呼びかけたままで
夏まつり 宵かがり
胸のたかなりにあわせて
八月は 夢花火
私の心は 夏模様
M... M... M... Mm...
目が覚めて 夢のあと
長い影が 夜にのびて
星屑の空へ
夢はつまり 想い出のあとさき
夏が過ぎ 風あざみ
誰のあこがれにさまよう
八月は 夢花火
私の心は 夏模様
M... M... M... Mm...
Lalalalala...
The lyrics of 沢田知可子's 少年時代 (Shounen Jidai / Childhood) describe the fleeting nature of summer and the bittersweet memories that remain. The first verse speaks of a wanderlust that lingers after summer has passed, and the singer's heart remains in the vibrant, carefree spirit of the season. In the winter, memories of summer dreams remain, beckoning the singer to return to that time of warmth and joy. The second verse continues to explore the transience of time and memory, with dreams becoming mere echoes of the past and shadows stretching long into the night. However, the summer festival and fireworks still ignite the singer's heart with the same youthful enthusiasm of seasons past.
Overall, the nostalgic tone of the lyrics is enhanced by the use of seasonal imagery and references to dreams and memories. The repeated refrain of "私の心は夏模様" ("My heart is summer-patterned") reinforces the idea that the singer's youth and vitality are forever stamped by the passing of summer.
