AKB48 - さよならクロール (Goodbye Crawl) [English Translation]
Goodbye crawl, the blue sea sparkles
Your sunburned shoulders slice through the waves
Goodbye crawl, despite loving you this much
The teasing summertime
Can't understand the feelings of the sandy beach

A round orange buoy floats
At the end of the rope that marks the no swimming zone
I want you to take me with you, but it's no use
Because I can't swim the way you can...

Wrapping myself in a towel, I sulked a little
I wanted to have you all to myself during the sеason of sun

Lonely crawl, I sort of feel like crying...
I want to follow you no matter whеre you go...
Lonely crawl, you're my secret ambition
I watched the swim club practice from the other side of the fence
And was excited to jump in

But this is different from the school pool
This is an ocean that belongs to adults
Freedom is always much too expansive
I can't get ahead of romance

You're the same boy from that day long ago
Always competing with someone, but where will your swim take you?
Goodbye crawl, the blue sea sparkles
Your sunburned shoulders slice through the waves
Goodbye crawl, despite loving you this much
The teasing summertime
Can't understand the feelings of the sandy beach

Crawl of memories, the summer passes in a heartbeat
And the figures in swimsuits gradually disappear
Crawl of memories, no matter how much I love you
Love leaves me breathless, and my dreaming heart has to come up for air

You don't understand, you don't realize
The wind is a sigh
