歌詞

Natsu mo chikazuku…

Hachijūhachiya…

Summer’s leaning closer, quietly

In rows of soft green symmetry

一芯二葉、指でほどく

Just a touch, not meant to be

Morning dew on tender leaves

Light dissolves in every seam

摘めば、香りがひらいて

Like a half-remembered dream

Slow sway, side to side

Hands repeat what time designed

No words, just quiet signs

Woven in a softer line

八十八夜… drifting slow

Green that only spring can grow

Same leaf, different stories told

Depending how you let it go

Nothing to hold

Nothing to own

Only the warmth

We’ve always known

Some will darken, turning sweet

Some will bloom in amber heat

But here we stop the fading green

蒸気の中で、息を止める

Not by chance, but by design

We keep the edge of younger time

日本茶はこうなのよ

We don’t let it cross the line

Ground to dust, a softer form

Whisked into a quiet storm

Bitter, sweet, a velvet green

Dancing somewhere in between

Matcha dreams in sugared light

Cakes and creams in foreign nights

Not for all, but some will stay

Just one taste might find its way

Natsu mo chikazuku…

Hachijūhachiya…

Just a leaf, just a day

Just a life we shape our way
