Can do it for a smile of somebody now. Can do it for a smile of somebody now.
誰にも見せない 涙の色には　 沢山の意味が あるんだね 諦めかけた空は あの日々の、 あの場所で 色を変えた 賑やかな景色　 淋しく映すのは　 気まぐれな 不安の風だけど 木々が萌ゆる 命の音　 夏は終わらない────	Dare ni mo misenai Namida no iro ni wa Takusan no imi ga Arunda ne Akirame kaketa sora wa Ano hibi no, Ano basho de Iro wo kaeta Nigiyakana keshiki Samishiku utsusu no wa Kimagure na Fuan no kaze dakedo Kigi ga moeyuru Inochi no oto Natsu wa owaranai────	The hue of these tears Which we don't show anyone Hold so much meaning, Don't they? The sky we had began to give up on— On that day, At that very place, It changed its colors What a merry scenery Yet it appears so glum to me Even though I know it's just An odd gust of worry... The trees sprout, Rustling to the sound of life And the summer never ends────
糸は絡んだり　 またほどけたり　 縁結びの神様 ひぐらしが鳴いて　 幕は開かれた そこにある　 栄光と呼べる 『絆』が　 一つになる時...	Ito wa karandari Mata hodoketari Enmusubi no kami-sama Higurashi ga naite Maku wa hirakareta Soko ni aru Eikou to yoberu “Kizuna” ga Hitotsu ni naru toki...	The threads come together Yet they also come apart; As god binds fates together The Higurashi cry, And the curtains have risen And there they stand, Those "bonds" which are No less than glorious— When they all come together as one...
Every day is “sing”　 悲しみは “bright”　 喜びの“friend” ココにある本当の意味が 立ち止まる事 忘れさせるよ　 手と手、 重なってゆく Every day is “call”　 目に見えぬ“spur”　 繋がった“ring” 願うなら 自分にじゃなく 動き出す 新しいストーリー　 ページを開こう その先へ	Every day is “sing” Kanashimi wa “bright” Yorokobi no “friend” Koko ni aru hontou no imi ga Tachidomaru koto Wasure saseru yo Te to te, Kasanatte yuku Every day is “call” Me ni mienu “spur” Tsunagatta “ring” Negau nara Jibun ni ja naku Ugokidasu Atarashii sutōrī Pēji wo hirakou Sono saki he	Every day is “sing” Sadness becomes “bright” As a joyous “friend” The true worth that lies here... It'll make you forget All about stopping short! We bring our hands together As they continue to pile Every day is “call” An invisible “spur” Connecting a “ring” If you have a prayer, Don't keep it to yourself Leaping to a start Is a brand new story Let's flip those pages open And over yonder...

無意味な時間は　 どこにも無いから　 真っ直ぐに 瞳を上げて 過去に辿った道と　 生まれゆく 未来へと 走りだそう 振り返る事は 弱虫じゃなくて　 誰か支える 答えがある 道は続く あの太陽へ　 夏は終わらない────	Muimi na jikan wa Doko ni mo nai kara Massugu ni Hitomi wo agete Kako ni tadotta michi to Umareyuku Mirai e to Hashiridasou Furikaeru koto wa Yowamushi ja nakute Dareka sasaeru Kotae ga aru Michi wa tsudzuku Ano taiyou e Natsu wa owaranai────	There's no such thing You can consider "wasted time" So straighten up And focus those eyes ahead Along with the road Which we tread in the past, The future is born... So let's dash right into it! Turning back doesn't mean That you're a weakling Because there may be an answer there Which could help someone The path goes on Towards that faraway sun And the summer never ends────
