SAYONARA summer is over
Lyrics: Tomoko Kawase
Composer: Shunsaku Okuda
Source: translations

kona yuki ga maiorita gozen goji
mada nemui me o kosutte

ooki na TORANKU ni fuku o tsumete
kami wo naosazu dekaketa

eki made no minareta
keshiki to omoide ga
mune o shimetsukete ita

kashite ita shousetsu nara moyashite
setsujitsu naru omoi to issho ni

natsu wa owatta kara

sasaekirenu omoide o
tabanete sora e
to nageta sayonara

kusa no ue futari de miageta
natsu no sora totemo daisuki datta
te o nobashi anata ni furetai
kurushikute nido to kanawanai yume nara
mitakunai no ni

senshuu kaita MEMO o yabutte
hatasenai yakusoku to issho ni

natsu wa owatta kara

kaze ga fuku tabi ni kokoro ga shizumu keredo
ima wa namida no yuube ni mi o kogashite
inoru yagate kuru asahi ni kono hikari ni
yureru ORENJI no keshiki o me ni yakitsukete

Powder snow falls at 5 am.
I rub my still-tired eyes.

I stuff my clothes in a big trunk
and leave without fixing my hair.

On the way to the station,
my memories and these sights
I've gotten used to make my heart grow tight.

Burn the book I lent you
along with all your urgent thoughts

because summer is over.

I bundle up all the memories that
I can't handle anymore
and throw them to the sky as my farewell.

I loved the summer sky that we
looked up at together while sitting on the grass.
I stretch out my hand; I want to touch you.
I can't take it--If this dream can never come true
again then I don't want to see it at all.

I throw away the memo I wrote last week
along with all the promises I can't keep

because summer is over.

Whenever the wind blows my heart grows still but
now, in this night of tears, I pray with all my heart.
I burn into my eyes the orange scene that sways in the morning light.
