“Mule” in this song refers to a particular style of women’s footwear. Since this song is about a specific season, the band has been known to wait until the hot late days of summer to start playing it during a tour. The B-side for this single was Nonbiri, and the music video for it actually includes both songs.

English

Late-Summer Heat

In midsummer, we forgot about summer and reveled, believing in a couple that wouldn’t change
In mules that didn’t suit me, I stood up straight and walked, wanting to be a handsome couple
The invisible hint, if only I’d noticed it, the rushing beat

I want to see you once more, where, where are you
I can’t see you anymore, the tethering gravity

I saw a September summer for the first time, Tokyo shimmering in the heat
Running up the stairs in new heels, looking for the summer we saw
Even with my eyes closed, it doesn’t disappear, the bright light

I want to see you once more, where, where are you
I can’t see you anymore, the tethering gravity
To me, to me, now, to me

Continuation, and being side by side, were not to be taken for granted

I want to see you once more, where, where have you gone
I can’t see you anymore, can’t be tethered
Summer is ending, and you, just you, are gone
Someday I surely want to see you, the gravity pulling closer

Japanese

残暑

真夏に夏を忘れてはしゃいだ　変わらない二人を信じて
似合わないミュールで背伸びして歩いた　とびきりの二人になりたくて
見えないヒント　気づけたら良かったのに　走る鼓動

もう一度会いたい　どこにどこにいるの
もう二度と会えない　つなぎとめる引力を

９月の夏をはじめて知った　陽炎にゆれる東京
新しいヒールで階段を駆け上がる　二人で見た夏を探して
目を閉じても　それでも消えない　眩しい光

もう一度会いたい　どこにどこにいるの
もう二度と会えない　つなぎとめる引力を
わたしに　わたしに　今わたしに

つづくことも　そばにいることさえも　当たり前じゃ　なかった

もう一度会いたい　どこにことにいったの
もう二度と会えない　つなぎとめられない
もう夏が終わって　君が君だけがいない
いつかきっと会いたい　たぐりよせる引力を
