English

The sun shines directly at this place.
I want to be baked in this light known as summer.
In what ways will I be changed by today?
I feel uneasy, but wonderful.

The fragments of summer will jump open and break out,
and rain upon the sparkling sky, the sea, and the world.

"Embrace me..."
When I whisper that, what will you do?
If your kindness is uncertain, I don't need it.
Because a feeling will turn into reality in a blink,
in this hot season.

Chase the clouds that float away so fast,
that back that broke off in a run, I will not forget.
And taking in everything about summer,
It is already so dazzling that I can't see.

That smiling face, that gesture, the scenes of summer,
one, two... engrave everything.

"Stay beside me..."
The connected palms and the last promise,
If it's just painful memories, I don't need it.
Coincidental meeting, that's called fate right?
In this blue season.

The fragments of summer will jump open and break out,
and rain upon the sparkling sky, the sea, and me.

"Embrace me..."
When I whisper that, what will you do?
If your kindness is uncertain, I don't need it.
Because a feeling will turn into reality in blink.
Look, the summer is overflowing.

Kanji

まっすぐに　こっちを狙ってる太陽
夏という光に灼かれたい
今日がどんなふうに　ワタシを変えてゆくのかな
ちょっとだけ不安　でもステキ

はじけとぶ　わきあがる　夏の欠片（カケラ）が
キラリ　空に海に世界にふりそそぐ

「抱キシメテ…」
ささやいた　その時　あなたはどうする？
あやふやな　やさしさなんか　いらない
予感は一瞬で　真実になるから
この熱い季節に

足早に流れる雲を　追いかけて
駆け出すその背中　忘れない
そして何もかも　夏に飲み込まれるように
もう眩しすぎて見えなくて

その笑顔　その仕種　夏の場面を
キラリ　ひとつふたつ…ぜんぶ刻みつけて

「側ニイテ…」
つないだ手のひらと　最後の約束
切ないだけの記憶なら　いらない
出逢えた偶然を　運命と呼ぶのね
この蒼い季節に

はじけとぶ　わきあがる　夏の欠片が
きらり　空に海にワタシにふりそそぐ

「抱キシメテ…」
ささやいた　その時　あなたはどうする？
あやふやな　やさしさなんか　いらない
予感は一瞬で　真実になるから
ほら夏があふれる
