[English]

The color of the wind changes vividly every moment

Sparkling grains of light—such a beautiful day

Early summer flowers are already forming buds

The two who are apart keep growing stronger each time they say ‘I want to see you’

Our next meeting, dressed in a new smile, I’ll run toward you

Our love, watching the same sky

Believing it will last forever and ever

Even if you're not here, I do it only for you—

I want to stay beautiful — Blue sky blue

(Beautiful...)

Next month, when we meet again, I'll walk silently—that's how I want to come to you

Lightly, over my back, I want to hold you

Will you notice that my hair has grown longer?

Today’s sky looks just like our love

Tears, like clouds, slowly drifting away and disappearing

If I reach the town where you live

Please let me tell you how I feel — Blue sky, blue

Green sprouts are budding—the scent of early summer

Take a deep breath and keep saying ‘I want to see you... I want to see you...’

It’s painful, but it's a word that makes me happy—that’s how I feel

Today’s sky looks just like our love

Tears, like clouds, slowly drifting away and disappearing

Our love, watching the same sky

Believing it will last forever and ever

Even if you're not here, I do it only for you—

I want to stay beautiful — Blue sky blue

Believing it will last forever and ever

Even if you're not here, I do it only for you—

I want to stay beautiful — Blue sky blue

[Japanese]

風の色が Every moment 鮮やかに変わる

踊る光の粒 Such a beautiful day

気の早い初夏(なつ)の花たちが 蕾をつけてる

離れ離れの二人は「逢いたい」って言い合うたび強くなるのね

次の待ち合わせは 新しい笑顔纏(まと)って あなたへと駈け出すわ

同じ空を見てる私たちの恋は

ずっとずっと続くって信じながら

あなたがいなくてもあなただけのために

綺麗でいたいと想う Blue sky blue

(綺麗...)

来月また逢えるときは 足音立てずに

フワリ背中越しに 抱きしめたいの

私の髪が伸びたことに 気付いてくれるかな

今日の空はまるで 私たちの恋ね

ゆっくり流れて消える涙雲(なみだぐも)

あなたの住む街に たどり着いたならば

この想いを伝えてよ Blue sky blue

緑が萌えてる 青い初夏(なつ)の匂い

深呼吸して「逢いたい... 逢いたい...」って

せつないけど 幸せになる コトバなの

今日の空はまるで 私たちの恋ね

ゆっくり流れて消える涙雲(なみだぐも)

同じ空を見てる私たちの恋は

ずっとずっと続くって信じながら

あなたがいなくても あなただけのために

綺麗でいたいと想う Blue sky blue

ずっとずっと続くって信じながら

あなたがいなくても あなただけのために

綺麗でいたいと想う Blue sky blue
