Kanji:

青空に線を引く
ひこうき雲の白さは
ずっとどこまでも　ずっと続いてく
明日を知ってたみたい

胸で浅く息をしてた
熱い頬　さました風も　おぼえてる

未来の前にすくむ手足は
静かな声にほどかれて
叫びたいほど　なつかしいのは
ひとつのいのち
真夏の光
あなたの肩に　揺れてた木漏れ日

つぶれた白いボール
風が散らした花びら
ふたつを浮かべて　見えない川は
歌いながら流れてく

秘密も嘘も喜びも
宇宙を生んだ神さまの　子供たち

未来の前にすくむ心が
いつか名前を思い出す
叫びたいほど　いとおしいのは
ひとつのいのち
帰りつく場所
わたしの指に　消えない夏の日

未来の前にすくむ心が
いつか名前を思い出す
叫びたいほど　いとおしいのは
ひとつのいのち
帰りつく場所
わたしの指に　消えない夏の日　woo…


English:

The whiteness of the clouds left behind by a plane

Draw a line across the blue sky

Always, no matter to where, always continuing

As if it knew tomorrow

In my chest I breathed in a shallow breath

I remember the breeze that blew on my hot cheek

The hands and feet which are bound before the future

Are freed by a quiet voice

So nostalgic that I want to scream out, is

One life, the midsummer light

At your shoulder, swaying, the sunbeams streaming through the leaves

The white ball at rest

The petals which have been scattered by the wind

The invisible river which carries both

Singing while flowing on

Secrets and lies and joy

Are the children of the gods who created this universe

The heart which is bound before the future

Someday, will remember its name

So loved that I want to scream out, is

One life, the place to return to

At my fingertips, the summer day which doesn't disappear

The heart which is bound before the future

Someday, will remember its name

So loved that I want to scream out, is

One life, the place to return to

At my fingertips, the summer day which doesn't disappear  woo…
