Слова песни Abe Natsumi — Message from Natsumi

I will become 20 this summer.
When I was in elementary school, I looked forward to being 20...
And I remember thinking, "I want to become an adult soon!"
Even if I don't say anything, it will happen to me eventually,
but to be honest, I don't want to turn 20!
That is probably because there is the image that "20 = adult."

But recently -- very recently -- I've been thinking
that if I could be a "childish adult" or an "adult child,"
it could really be a wonderful thing.

... 20, huh?
I still have a long ways to go.
I'd like to try to become a person who can take on anything.
And I progress steadily at my own pace.
Stay true to myself and go about naturally... that would be nice.
"Natural."
That's a great word.

I'm really looking forward to this summer now.
August 10th.
Please let me spend that day laughing.

Shooting stars. Fireworks. A pretty place.
Everyone's smiles.
There are still many things I want to see and do.

Everyone, please treasure who you are now
and let's go about laughing a lot!

Natsumi Abe.
