Fukinuketa natsu no kaze
Suashi ni fumu sougen
Asebamu hitai madoromi
Tooi ano ohiru

Kanata e to sarawareta
Yaketa mugiwara boushi
Shiroi ribon wo nabikase
Yagate chou ni naru

Oikakeru anata wa shounen no hitomi
Kagerou no naka modoranai kisetsu

Ano hi kara anata wo miushinatta mama de
Tayori nai natsu fuku no kata wo hitori daiteru

Ano hi kara watashi wa eien no maigo
Hachigatsu no shounen wa kiete itta

Panorama no kumo no shita
Natsu no kodou wa hayaku
Sora wo tatake yo himawari
Machi wo furuwasete

Isshun ni kasume tobu
Aoi tsubasa no kage ni
Shoujo no toki no owari wo
Naze yokan shita no

Jitensha wo oboete jimanki na anata
Kagerou no naka ushinatta kisetsu

Ano hi kara anata wa furimuku koto mo naku
Atarashii kisetsu goto chigau asobi oboete

Ano hi kara watashi mo arukidashite ita no
Tomaranai hidokei no mawaru komichi

Ano hi kara anata wa furimuku koto mo naku
Atarashii kisetsu goto chigau asobi oboete

Ano hi kara watashi mo arukidashite ita no
Tomaranai hidokei ga otona ni suru

English

The summer breeze blowing through
The fields I walked through barefoot
The sweat on my forehead, and the naps
That distant noon

A burnt straw hat
Is swept far away
Its white ribbon flutters
And eventually becomes a butterfly

I’m chasing you, you have the eyes of a child
In the shimmering air, a summer that will never come again

That day, I lost sight of you
I’m alone, hugging my shoulders in my thin summer clothes

That day I became a lost child forever
The boy I knew that August has gone

Under the panorama of clouds
The pulse of summer quickens
Knock on the sky, sunflowers
And shake the town

In the shadow
Of your blue wings
Why did I feel a premonition
That my girlhood days were to end?

You were so proud of yourself for learning to ride your bike
I’ve lost that season to the shimmering air

Since that day, you haven’t ever looked back
Discovering new fun with each new season

Since that day, I’ve moved on too
The sundial makes its way around its little course, never stopping

Since that day, you haven’t ever looked back
Discovering new fun with each new season

Since that day, I’ve moved on too
The ceasless sundial has made me an adult
