あれから恋だってしたけど
他の彼なんか覚えてない
あなたと過ごした青空が
今もずっと眩しく見える

人はその一生の間に
何回接吻するのでしょう?
振り向いて思い出せるほどの

夏の花は向日葵だけじゃない
いろんな種類の花が咲いてるのに
瞳を閉じると浮かんで来るのは
風の中揺れている
Sunflower

何かを忘れようとしてた
だから新しい恋をした
心に嘘をついてみても
片隅の痛み消えることない

人はふと愛し合い別れて
何回後悔するのでしょう?
気づかずに涙するほど

キレイなのは向日葵だけじゃない
他にも目立たない花も咲いてたのに
あなたじゃなきゃダメだと思った
愛しさを思い出す
Sunflower

太陽をじっと見つめて
恋をする黄色い花
もうあなたのことしか
私には見えなかった

Ooh wow 夏の花は向日葵だけじゃない
いろんな種類の花が咲いてるのに
瞳を閉じると浮かんで来るのは
風の中揺れている

キレイなのは向日葵だけじゃない
他にも目立たない花も咲いてたのに
あなたじゃなきゃダメだと思った

愛しさを思い出す
Sunflower

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Natsunohanaha Himawaridakejyanai" by Keyakizaka46 discuss memories of a past love that still feels vivid even after moving on to a new relationship. The singer reflects on the brilliance of the sky and the warmth she shared with the person in question, remembering that despite being with someone new, she cannot forget the happiness she felt in that first love. Even though many flowers bloom during the summer, the sunflower is the only one that seems to take center stage in one's memories.

The song then poses a question: how many times will people kiss throughout their lives? And how many times will they regret the decisions they make in life? While other flowers bloom unnoticed, the sunflower remains the most memorable, and though the singer has tried to forget her past love by moving on, she cannot seem to shake off the hurt she still holds onto.

The bridge of the song speaks of how the singer's love for the original person was so strong that she became unable to see anything besides them. Even though she remembers that other flowers bloomed during that summer, the sunflower reminds her of the bittersweet memories of love that she cannot escape.

Overall, the lyrics of this song speak to the lingering pain and happiness that come with falling in love, and the lasting impressions that a powerful relationship can have on a person's life.
