Ah ah time to say good-bye
夏の憂鬱に抱かれ眠りを忘れた僕は
揺れる波打ちぎわに瞳うばわれ ほおづえをつく
君が微笑みかけるそよぐ風に吹かれて
そんな過ぎ去った日の幻を追いかけていた
It's just the time to say good-bye
Ah, ah, time to say good-bye
ゆらめく季節へ告げた
忘れかけてた優しさ連れて 明日へひとり歩いてゆくよ
夏の憂鬱は君を見失った 僕に降りつもる
誰も届かない空を泳ぐあの鳥のように
君は素足のままで残りわずかな夏に消えた
果てない時を漂う僕には 今もきっと何かが足りない
It's just the time to say good-bye
Ah, ah, time to say good-bye
あの日の君へと告げた
失したままの 扉の鍵を 過去へひとり 探したいから
夏の憂鬱
あゝもう行かなくちゃ 秋が来るから
そして眠りを失した
そして貴方を失した
そしてつばさを失した ah
そしてひかりを失した
すべて愛していたのに
すべて壊れてしまった
あゝ何を信じて歩けばいいの?
僕に降りつもる夏の憂鬱
The song "Say Goodbye" by Arc and Stones is a melancholic ballad about the end of a season, the departure of a loved one, and the longing for what has been lost. The lyrics describe the singer's memories of a summer spent together with someone special, and the pain he feels as he realizes that they are about to part ways. The opening lines set the mood with a simple but poignant statement: "It's just the time to say goodbye," repeated twice for emphasis. The singer then goes on to describe a dreamlike scene by the seashore, where he is sitting and gazing at the waves, lost in thought. He sees the person he loves smiling at him, but he cannot escape the feeling that this moment is about to slip away.
The next section of the song discusses the passage of time and the changes that come with it. The seasons are shifting, and the singer is preparing to walk into an uncertain future without the person he loves. He acknowledges the sense of loss he feels, but also the nostalgia and tenderness that linger in his heart. He wants to hold on to the memories of their time together, even as he knows he must let go. The final verse is a poignant confession of grief and confusion. The singer has lost not only his lover but also his sense of direction and purpose. He is adrift in a sea of sorrow, unable to find a way forward. The last line of the song is a haunting question: "What should I believe in to keep walking?"
Overall, "Say Goodbye" is a beautifully crafted song that captures the bittersweetness of endings and the longing for what has been lost. The lyrics are full of poetic imagery and emotional depth, evoking the feeling of a summer day fading into dusk.

emphasizes the need to accept what is inevitable.
I slept holding on to summer's depression
I was so consumed by sadness that I couldn't even sleep through the night
I leaned against the swaying shoreline
I was lost and confused
my eyes hidden, my chin on my hand
I was in deep thought
And then you smiled at me
Your smile brought me comfort and joy
Blown by the gentle wind
I felt like I was drifting away
I chased after the illusion of those bygone days
I was trying to recapture a time that was already gone
Just like the brilliant sunshine that shone on me
You lit up my life like the sun
It's just the time
It's time to accept the inevitable ending
To say good-bye
To officially bring closure
ah ah time to say good-bye
To finally accept that it's over
I'm taking the tenderness I almost forgot with me
I'm moving on but taking the good memories with me
And walking alone toward tomorrow
I'm ready to face the future
Summer's depression lost sight of you
I lost you when I was struggling with my sadness
Piled up on me...
It was too much for me to handle
Like a bird swimming in the unreachable sky
I felt lost and uncertain like a bird in the sky
You disappeared in the summer, barefoot
You vanished into thin air when summer ended
To me who drifted in endless time
I was lost in time with no sense of direction
Something's still missing
Despite moving on, I'm still longing for someone or something
It's just the time
It's time to let go and move on
To say good-bye
To finally say farewell
ah ah time to say good-bye
To accept the finality of the situation
I'll tell you what I lost, you that day
I want to confess what I lost when I lost you
The key to the locked door that remains lost
I want to go back to the past and find the key to unlocking it
And search alone for the past
I'm trying to find closure from the past and moving on by myself
Summer's depression...
I can no longer hold onto my sadness
I need to go now
It's time to move on and face the future
Because autumn is coming...
Change is inevitable
And I lost sleep
Because of what happened, I couldn't sleep
And I lost you
I lost you forever
And I lost wings
I lost something that made me feel free
And I lost light
I lost something good and meaningful
I loved everything
I had so much love for everything
But everything fell apart
Everything went wrong and painful
Now what should I believe in?
I'm lost and don't know what to believe in
Summer's depression weighing on me.
The depression of summer still follows me.
