Japanese

穏やかな風が吹くこの夏を
僕らだけの歌と名付け大切に仕舞った

狭い部屋過ぎ去る思い出と待ってた待ってたあの日と同じ空

ひとりで僕らは歩けるか誰もいなくなってそれでも
手を取り過ごしてきた今日までをまだ見ぬ誰かの明日へと

伸びすぎた髪はもう束ねてる
古い映画のような出会いなどないまま
大切にしていくものはなに?
待ってる待ってるきっとあと数歩

ふたりになっても歩くんだ強さは互いの心と信じた
うまく合わない足でもゆっくり歩けば揃った

ひとりになっても歩くんだ誰もいなくなってそれでも
ふるえを忘れないこの命は希望を刻んで進むんだ
口ずさむのは僕らの歌みんなで描いた青い空
もう合わすことができない足でも歩けば未来を目指すんだ

Rōmaji

Odayaka na kaze ga fuku kono natsu wo
Bokura dake no uta to nadzuke taisetsu ni shimatta

Semai heya sugisaru omoide to matteta matteta ano hi to onaji sora

Hitori de bokura wa arukeru ka dare mo inaku natte sore demo
Te wo tori sugoshite kita kyou made wo mada minu dareka no asu e to

Nobi sugita kami wa mou tabaneteru
Furui eiga no you na deai nado nai mama

Taisetsu ni shite iku mono wa nani?
Matteru matteru kitto ato suuho

Futari ni natte mo aruku n da tsuyosa wa tagai no kokoro to shinjita
Umaku awanai ashi demo yukkuri arukeba sorotta

Hitori ni natte mo aruku n da dare mo inaku natte sore demo
Furue wo wasurenai kono inochi wa kibou wo kizande susumu n da
Kuchizusamu no wa bokura no uta minna de egaita aoi sora
Mou awasu koto ga dekinai ashi demo arukeba mirai wo mezasu n da

English

The wind blew gently, and this cherished summer
Came to a close, giving a name to the song that was just for us

In my tiny room the days passed by in reminiscence as I waited, waited for a sky like the one on that day

Can we each walk on our own? Everyone around us will disappear
But the time we spent holding hands until today will carry us to the unknown future

My hair's grown too long and I've tied it up
It's not like a meeting from an old movie

What is it that we cherish?
We wait, we wait, and surely after a few more steps...

We could walk together, too; we believed strength was in our joined hearts
Our strides didn't match well, but if we walked slowly we could be side-by-side

Can we each walk on our own? Everyone around us will disappear
But this life of unforgotten trembling will engrave in us the hope we need to continue
We'll hum our song under the blue sky we all painted together
Our strides may never match again, bu if we walk on, we can aim for the future
