Rōmaji
Kimi wa ima namida nagashita

Nakijakuru kodomo no you ni

Tatoe asu ga mienaku natte mo mamoru yo

Natsu no sora miagete niranda

Tsuyogatte bakari de namida wa misenai

Hontou wa kowai kuseni

Taisetsu na mono wo ushinawa nu you ni

Hisshi de hashirinukete kita

Itsu datte nagai yoru wo futari de norikoeta

Kono mama issho ni iru kara

Tsuyogatte naide ii nda yo

Kimi wa ima namida nagashita

Nakijakuru kodomo no you ni

Tatoe asu ga mienaku natte mo susumu yo

Natsu no sora miagete sakenda

Natsu no sora miagete niranda

English
Now that you have shed your tears

Like a kid crying his heart out

I can't see who I should protect anymore

It looks like the summer sky is crying

Just because I acted tough, you couldn't see my tears

But actually I was really scared

I keep on losing more people dear to me

Still I keep running desperately

It's always like together we can overcome everything

If we stayed like that, it's fine not being strong

Now that you have shed your tears

Like a kid crying his heart out

I can finally see who I should protect

It looks like the summer sky is holding out

It looks like the summer sky is crying
