Translation:
A splash that makes us free
The contrast of overlapping rays of light
Let the water wash over you / feel so free today
Dive right into our
Brand-new blue / Yeah!
Say, say, say what’s on your mind / Uh-oh
Kick, kick, kick your own way / Uh-oh
I want to seize the blue, blue, blue / Uh-oh
In the deep, deep, deep that’s just within reach
Splash free!
Not a day passes that you don’t feel alive
With a butterfly stroke to back and fill
We rack up wins by trial and error (in the future)
But forget about that for the moment (so take it easy, ah)
Just feel the water (as your fingers slice the surface)
Get swept up in the wash of emotion (quench your thirst)
Let the coursing legend take your stony heart and set it free!
A splash that makes us free
Amid the contrast of overlapping rays of light
This moment will last forever
Fix your gaze on summer / Yeah!
Say, say, say whatever you like / Uh-oh
Your hands outstretched to the deep, deep, deep
Splash free!

It’s a new anime called “Free!” that’s airing this season. Genre-wise, it’s sports/school/comedy, a bit like Kurobasu, but with swimming.

Ah, this song is so catchy! And great translation… the insertion of English into the lyrics really render the meaning of the words hard to grasp, but your translation makes it all make sense.
Best of all, it still feels like a swimming anime theme song. /hnngh admiration *___*

Thanks for your comment! I definitely had to interpret some of those English words (like, what does ‘splash free’ really mean? XD), so I’m glad to hear it makes some sort of sense. 😀
