「The small of early Autumn（初秋の香り）」
夏の終わり、秋の匂い
湖の見える部屋と1人の少女

暑い夏を惜しむように
いつかの夏を思い出すように

どことなく切なくノスタルジーな気持ちをのせて

The end of summer, the smell of autumn
A room with a view of the lake and a girl

As if missing the hot summer
As if remembering the summer of the past

With a touch of sadness and nostalgia
