No.159.We Hold Each Other’s Hands

[Verse 1]
After we picked a fortune slip at Yasaka Shrine,
we looked up at the darkening sky. I asked,
“It’s getting dark. Where should we go?”

[Pre-Chorus 1]
My girlfriend checked her smartphone and said,
“There’s a drumming performance at Kokura Castle.”

[Chorus 1]
We headed to Kokura Castle,
where the sound of drums grew louder and louder.

[Verse 2]
The area was becoming crowded with people.
We held each other’s hands tightly
so we wouldn’t get separated.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
She said, “I can’t see anything at all.”
I replied, “Yeah, that’s true.”

[Chorus 2]
She thought for a moment and suggested,
“The drums will parade throughout the city.”

[Verse 3]
She added, “So we could see them from outside the castle, too, right?”
I responded and asked, “Okay, would you like to grab something at a food stall on the way?”
She replied, “That sounds like a nice idea.”

[Pre-Chorus 3]
She suggested, “The air conditioning is on, so let’s have iced coffee and sweets at the café.”

[Chorus 3]
We drank iced coffee and ate Baumkuchen at the café.
The sound of the drums was now only faintly audible.

[Final Chorus]
She asked, “Are you satisfied?”
“So, shall we go and listen to the drumming?”
We held each other’s hands tightly so we wouldn’t get separated.

[Instrumental Solo]
