Akete yuku mada shiranai sora
Omoide mo matomaranai mama ni
Tsugi no kisetsu ni sekasarete
Watagumo mo ibasho wo sagashiteru yo

Nanimo kamo dakishimerareru nara
Hikkurumeta kono natsu wo
Ari no mama motte yuku saki no saki no kimi e
Tsukamenai shinkirou no you na hibi

Kawari tsuzukeru sora moyou ga sakigake
Oite ikaresou de
Meippai senobi shita

Todoita ka na chiisana watashi
Kimi no yukue made
Omoi wa ao to orenji no mannaka ni tsumekonde
Asa ga me wo samasu mae no mahou no jikan
Tooku tooku kieru watagumo ni te wo futte
Sorezore no michi wo kaerou

Nokoshitai ano hi no watashi
Kimi no hoho no iro
Itsu shika aseru kioku mo mannaka ni tsumekonde
Futari de tsunage ba maru de kinou no hanashi
Sonna fuu ni naru yo

Todoita ka na chiisana watashi
Kimi no yukue made
Omoi wa ao to orenji no mannaka ni nokotteru
Soko ga kitto natsu no sumika
Zutto tsuzuiteru yo mirai made

Hiragana / Katana / Kanji

明けていく　まだ知らない空
思い出も纏まらないままに
次の季節に急かされて
わた雲も居場所を探してるよ

何もかも抱きしめられるなら
ひっくるめたこの夏を
ありのまま持っていく　先の先の君へ
掴めない蜃気楼のような日々

変わり続ける　空模様が先駆け
置いていかれそうで
めいっぱい　背伸びした

届いたかな　小さな私
君の行方まで
想いは青とオレンジの真ん中に詰め込んで
朝が目を覚ます前の　魔法の時間
遠く遠く消える　わた雲に手を振って
それぞれの道を帰ろう

残したい　あの日の私
君の頬の色
いつしか褪せる記憶も真ん中に詰め込んで
ふたりで繋げば　まるで昨日の話
そんな風になるよ

届いたかな　小さな私
君の行方まで
想いは青とオレンジの真ん中に残ってる
そこがきっと　夏の住処
ずっと続いてるよ　未来まで

English Translation

Dawning breaks, a sky still unknown
Memories left uncollected
Hurried along by the next season
Even the cotton clouds search for a home

If I could hold everything close
This entire summer all at once
I would carry it as it is, to the you beyond and beyond
Days like mirages I cannot grasp

Ever changing, the shifting sky leads the way
I feel I might be left behind
So I stretched up with all my might

Did it reach you, my small self
All the way to where you are bound
I pack my feelings between blue and orange
In the magical hour before morning wakes
Waving to the cotton clouds fading far away
Let us return to our separate paths

The me of that day, I want to leave behind
The color on your cheeks
Even fading memories, I pack them in the middle too
If we connect them together it will feel just like yesterday
That is how it will be

Did it reach you, my small self
All the way to where you are bound
My feelings remain between blue and orange
That surely is the dwelling place of summer

It continues on and on, even into the future
