(Kasumi) Crosspiece bridge   Red brick
Looking downward.   I turn around.   Black sunglasses
In the middle of the summer, suits all in black
Someone is aiming.
...... Come here quickly.

(All) Hey, look!   (Nabiki) An enigmatic stranger
Already   (All) I don't even know if he was taken away by the foreign country's boat.

<English translation done compiments of Andy Searls>

Pretty blue sky, silly blimp go by.
Where it come from, where it go to, ziggy zaggy it fly high.
Today is Sunday, past 1:30, why you no come by?
Maybe you late, but I no can wait.
Now, I cry.

Pretty red bricks, bridge that spans the time (tide?).
Paint a picture, see the face of the one I want by my side.
There you are all dressed in black, but I can't see your eyes.
Can it be, you're dressed that way for me?
Why are you so shy?

Beep beep, beep beep.
This page is driving me crazy.
And you should know,
If some dark stranger asked me,
I might go, and so,
Don't blame me when you're lonely.
We're sailing out to sea, the ship and me.
