湘南が遠くなっていく
Shonan ga tooku natte iku
七尾 旅人 Tabito Nanao
Released initially in July 2012 in limited Shonan area in Kanagawa, this song was recorded as one of the songs in his 6th album, "Little Melody".
湘南, Shonan is a name of a region along the coast of Sagami Bay in Kanagawa Prefecture, central Japan. Centered on Enoshima, an island about 50 kilometers southwest of Tokyo, the Shōnan region stretches from Ōiso in the west to Hayama in the east, including Hiratsuka, Chigasaki, Fujisawa, and Kamakura. Because of the bay, the region benefits from a mild climate and long beaches covered with dark volcanic sand. (From Wikipedia)
Shonan (pronounce as "show+none") is one of the most popular destinations especially among young generations with an image of "beach" and "surfing".
The sound of waves in this song has such a healing and relaxing effect.
In the lyrics, "a train ride to Kamakura hidden by hydrangea" is probably saying about "江ノ島電鉄(江ノ電）, Enoshima dentetsu's Line, known by their nickename, enoden". In June, if you ride on Enoden, you will see lots of hydrangea flowers alongside the railway. If you like this song, I would recommend you to listen to other bands popular for many summer songs like Def Tech, Tube, Southern All Stars, and Kimaguren.

Lyrics

Japanese pronunciation
English translation
電車 に 揺られ 鎌倉 まで
Densha ni yurare kamakura made
On a train to Kamakura
あじさい に 隠され ながら
ajisai ni kakusare nagara
hidden in hydrangea
君 の 姿 を 探している
kimi no sugata wo sagashiteiru
I search for you
人波 を かき わけ ながら
hitonami wo kaki-wake nagara
Surfing through the wave of people
遅すぎた 男 が 君 を 見つける
ososugita otoko ga kimi wo mitsukeru
A man who came too late will find you
波間 を 揺れる ゆるされぬ 恋
namima wo yureru yurusarenu koi
Dancing on the waves forbidden love
どうしても はなしたく ない
doushitemo hanashitaku nai
I can't let go
強い 日差し に 照らされる たび
tsuyoi hizashi ni terasareru tabi
As strong sunshine blazes on us
砂浜 に 影 を 伸ばして
sunahama ni kage wo nobashite
shadow shown on the beach gets longer
夏 が 終わる その 前 に 君 を 抱きたい
natsu ga owaru sono mae ni kimi wo dakitai
I want to make love to you before the summer ends
湘南 が 遠く なってく
shonan ga tooku natteku
Shonan is going far away
ふたり 遭難 し 続けて この まま
futari sounan shi-tsuzukete kono mama
As the two go on drifting
まるで 湘南 ぬけたら 何 も ない
marude shonan nuketara nani mo nai
It seems like without Shonan, there is nothing
不思議 な 地球儀 の うえ に
fushigi na chikyuugi no ue ni
on this mysterious globe
何度 目 か の 夕立 が
nando-me ka no yuudachi ga
sudden evening shower start to fall again
夕立が
yuudachi ga
evening shower start to fall
夕立が
yuudachi ga
evening shower start to fall
言葉を忘れ ゆるされぬ恋
kotoba wo wasure yurusarenu koi
Forgotten words and forbidden love
潮騒に 隠されながら
shiosai ni kakusare nagara
hidden in sea roar
指先で砂 すくいとるたび
yubisaki de suna sukui toru tabi
Every time I scoop the sand with my fingertips
時の重みに 耐えかねて
toki no omomi ni tae-kanete
I can't bear the weight of time
きしむよ ふたつの からだ
kishimu yo futatsu no karada
and the two bodies collide and cry
湘南 が 遠く なってく
shonan ga tooku natteku
Shonan is going far away
ふたり 遭難 し 続けて この まま
futari sounan shi-tsuzukete kono mama
As the two go on drifting
まるで 湘南 ぬけたら 何 も ない
marude shonan nuketara nani mo nai
It seems like without Shonan, there is nothing
不思議 な 地球儀 の うえ に
fushigi na chikyuugi no ue ni
on this mysterious globe
何度 目 か の 夕立 が
nando-me ka no yuudachi ga
sudden evening shower start to fall again
Stay on my side No No No
時 よ 止まれ 時 よ 戻れ そして
toki yo tomare toki yo modore soshite
Stop the time, reverse the time and
ぜんぶ 嘘 だ と 言って おくれ
zenbu uso da to itte okure
Please say that it is all lies
時 よ 止まれ 時 よ 戻れ そして
toki yo tomare toki yo modore soshite
Stop the time, reverse the time and
ぜんぶ 嘘 だ と
zenbu uso da to
It is all lies
どうか
douka
