Lyrics
Kasumi • Saaya
Kagerō ga yurayura yureteru
Shizumu taiyō wo mitsume nagara kangaeteta
Watashitachi moshimo deaete nakatta nara
Donna natsu ga matte ita ndarou?
"Chigau natsu, sagashiteta?"
"Sorezore yume, oikaketa?"
"Demo honto ni sōna no kana?"
"Yappari ne, itsuka wa……"
"……deatteta no kana?"
Kirameita hachigatsu no “if”
Mijikai natsu no himitsu sagashi ni yukou yo
Iki wo tomete sono mama de ite
“Moshimo” janai “ima” wo dakishimete iru
Higurashi ga kanakana naiteru
Natsu no tameiki wo kakikesu nami no oto mitai
Watashitachi ima wa kōshite deatteru no dakara
Kako no subete arigatō
Waratta hi wo naita hi wo
Nakiwarai shiteta hi wo
Zenbu uta ni shiyou ne
Dōka asu ni todokimasu yō ni ――
Yume wo mite mada samenai no
Natsu no owari no wasuremono wo tori ni kite
Nani mo iwazu kono mama de ite
Tada hitotsu no “ima” wo dakishimete iru
Tachidomatta hachigatsu no “if”
Tabi wo oetara kitto koe wo awasete ne
Kokoro hiraki te to te tsunaide
Tada hitotsu no “ima” wo utai tsudzukeru
Tada hitotsu no “ima” wo utai tsudzukeru
陽炎がゆらゆら揺れてる
沈む太陽を見つめながら 考えてた
わたしたち もしも出会えてなかったなら
どんな夏が待っていたんだろう？
「違う夏、さがしてた？」
「それぞれ夢、追いかけた？」
「でもホントにそうなのかな？」
「やっぱりね、いつかは……」
「……出会ってたのかな？」
煌めいた八月の“if”
短い夏のひみつ 探しにいこうよ
息をとめて そのままでいて
“もしも”じゃない“今”を抱きしめている
ひぐらしがかなかな鳴いてる
夏のため息を かき消す波の音みたい
わたしたち 今はこうして出会ってるのだから
過去のすべて ありがとう
笑った日を 泣いた日を
泣き笑いしてた日を
全部 歌にしようね
どうか 明日に 届きますように――
夢をみて まだ醒めないの
夏の終わりの忘れ物を取りにきて
何も言わず このままでいて
ただひとつの“今”を抱きしめている
立ち止まった八月の“if”
旅を終えたら きっと声をあわせてね
心開き 手と手繋いで
ただひとつの“今”を歌いつづける
ただひとつの“今”を歌いつづける

The heat haze flickers and wavers
As we watched the setting sun, we imagined
If we had never met,
What kind of summer would have been in store for us?
"Looking for our different summers?"
"Chasing after our own dreams?"
"But would that really be the case, I wonder?"
"After all, someday..."
"...I wonder if we would meet?"
The glistening "if" of August
Let's go and uncover the secrets of this short summer
Holding our breaths and staying just like this
We're embracing the "now" and not the "if"
The evening cicadas are crying
The sighs of summer are like the sounds of the vanishing waves
We're meeting right now
So thank you to our pasts
Days we laughed, days we cried,
Days we smiled while crying,
Let's put them all into a song
Please, may it reach our tomorrow.
Dream, don't wake up just yet
Come get what you've forgotten from the end of summer
Without saying anything, staying just like this
We're embracing just one "now"
The halted "if" of August
After our journey, let's sing together
Opening our hearts, we hold hands
We'll keep singing just one "now"
We'll keep singing just one "now"
