Tsuyuake mae no aozora wa
Hitoashi hayaku, kokoro wo odoraseru
Kotoshi mo mousugu, natsu ga kuru
Machi mo hito mo ukarekibun de zawamekidasu
Watashi wa to ieba, anata wo omoi
Kono machi de atarashii kaze ni fukarete
Sukoshi no fuan mo, dakishime nagara
Kanaetai ashita dake wo, mitsumete ikiru
Shounen no kokoro no mama, otonani natta hito
Futari deatta ano hi ni wo modorenai kedo
Hitomi wo tojireba, hohoemu kao ga mieru
Daisukina ano uta ima mo utatte masuka
Watashi ni wa kikoeru yasashii koe to MELODY
Yoaki na toki hodo, anata wo omoidasu
Tokiori jibun ga, kirai ni naru no wa
Karu hazumi na kotoba de dare ka wo kizutsuke
Sono kuse yowakute, chippoke dakara
Nigeyouto suru watashi wo shikatte kudasai
Futari de utatta MELODY, kuchi zusande mireba
Namida hitotsuji nagarete, aitakunatta
Juwaki goshi ni GUITAR
Kiite kikasete kureta
REFRAIN suru PHRASE
Mune ni setsu naku hibiku
Degiri aeta kisetsu, azaya ka sugiru MEMORY
Mayoi nayabu mirai mo, anata wo wasurenai
Shounen no kokoro no mama, otonani natta hito
Futari deatta ano hi ni wo modorenai kedo
Hitomi wo tojireba, hohoemu kao ga mieru
Daisukina ano uta ima mo utatte masuka
Watashi ni wa kikoeru yasashii koe to MELODY
Yoaki na toki hodo, anata wo omoidasu
Juwaki goshi ni GUITAR
Kiite kikasete kureta
REFRAIN suru PHRASE
Mune ni setsu naku hibiku
Degiri aeta kisetsu, azaya ka sugiru MEMORY
Mayoi nayabu mirai mo, anata wo wasurenai
Anata wo wasurenai
English Translation
There will be a blue sky before the end of the rainy seasons
Just one step earlier, my heart fluttered
This year as well, summer will come soon after
And the town and the people show their joyful feelings
Speaking of myself, I still remember you
A new wind blows in this town now
I felt slightly anxious, so I hugged you a long time
I want to grant your wish and stay with you, even if for only a day
While still having the heart of a boy, he became a man
Even though we can’t return to that day we met
If I close my eyes, I can see your smiling face
Could it be that you’re still singing that favorite song ?
I can still hear that gentle voice and melody
during times of sadness, I will remember you
As time passed, I began to hate myself
As someone was hurt, by those light words of refuse
That habit of weakness, for any small reason
Please scold me for trying to run away
The melody that two of us were singing, you can hear me humming it still
I cried for an hour, when I couldn’t see you anymore
I send the sounds of my guitar over the phone
As I play for you to listen
And when I play that phrase of refrain
My chest grows heavy yet I still play on
The season when we met, those vivid passing memories
I may be lost and confused about the future, but I will not forget you
While still having the heart of a boy, he became a man
Even though we can’t return to that day we met
If I close my eyes, I can see your smiling face
Could it be that you’re still singing that favorite song ?
I can still hear that gentle voice and melody
During times of sadness, I will remember you
I send the sounds of my guitar over the phone
As I play for you to listen
And when I play that phrase of refrain
My chest grows heavy yet I still play on
The season when we met, those vivid passing memories
I may be lost and confused about the future, but I will not forget you
I will not forget you
