natsu no asa futari-kiri
yawarakai ame wo abite
sukitooru midori iro

ai no kotoba wo
sasayaitemo
itsumo kikoenai furi
koibitotachi wa
koibitotachi wa
hohoemu dake

natsu no gogo futari-kiri
kusa no ue madoronde iru
tokedasu midori iro

soshite kisetsu wa
kawaru keredo
nani mo kizukanai furi
koibitotachi wa
koibitotachi wa
hohoemu dake

together on a summer morning
basking in the gentle rain
clear green

whispering words of love
but lovers
always pretend not to hear
lovers
lovers
just smile

together on a summer afternoon
sleeping on the grass
the green melts away

and the season
changes but
lovers pretend not to notice
lovers
lovers
just smile
