		   Love the island
                   Sugite yuku chiisai mainichi ga 
                   Kimagure to zutto asonde itara
                   Konna ni toki ga sugite ita

Love the island 
If each small passing day 
Was fickle and played around 
The time passed so fast 

                   Love the island wasurenai
                   Hajimete yozora no shita de dakiatte itai
                   Yatto wakatta
                   Anata wo omoidashisugite iru
                   Yukkuri to shizuka ni kizukarezu wasuretai

Love the island 
I can't forget the first time 
I wanted to embrace you under the night sky 
I finally understand 
I remember you too much 
I want to forget slowly, quietly 
So that I don't even notice 
                                      

                   Kirei ni yakete yuku hada to kawaiteru kokoro wo
                   Nagusamete kureru no wa
                   Machinami no irumineeshon
                   Mata kondo tte jirasarete
                   Namida mo nagashita ka mo ne
                   Nan datte oshiete kureta
                   Ano natsu wo wasurerarenai

The illumination of the city 
Comforts my dry heart and tanned skin 
You teased me with "See you next time" 
And I might have cried 
You taught me what it is 
I can't forget that summer 

                   Love the island
                   Shinkokyuu shite iru suwarikonde
                   Ai wa kekkyoku deattemo
                   Fuan de nanimo raku ni narenai
                   Hontou wa anata no me no mae de omoikitte
                   Naite mitari waratte mitari okotte mitari sasete hoshikatta
                   Azayakana ichinichi mo 
                   Anata e no omoi wa tsunoru
                   Umi wa sanjikan chotto hikouki de tobikoeta
                   Kuukou de hakikaeta sandaru ga chotto tereteru
                   Mata denaoshi dakara
                   Ikura demo dou ni naru demo naru
                   Tabi dachi no kisetsu ka na?
                   Sukoshi dake yume wo misasete

Love the island 
I take a deep breath and sit down 
Even if we meet, love is uneasy 
And will never become easier, after all 
In front of you, I really wanted 
To cry, and to laugh, and to get angry 
All my feelings for you are gathered 
In that one bright day 
The ocean is crossed in three hours by plane 
The sandals that I changed into at the airport 
Are a little shy 
We'll meet again 
So no matter how much it takes, somehow we'll do it 
I wonder if it's the season to take a trip? 
Please let me dream a little 

                   Love the island
                   Sugite yuku chiisai mainichi ga 
                   Kimagure to zutto asonde itara
                   Konna ni toki ga sugite ita
                   Love the island wasurenai
                   Hajimete yozora no shita de dakiatte itai
                   Yatto wakatta
                   Anata wo omoidashisugite iru
                   Yukkuri to shizuka ni kizukarezu wasuretai
