Ano sora wo dakishimete (Embrace that sky) - Wada Kanako
"Kimagure Orange Road  Ano hi ni kaeritai" ending theme (1988)

koi ni ochita toki			When I fell in love,
koi wo nakushita toki			when I lost my love,
namida miageteta			I looked up in tears
yureru  BURANKO no sora 		at the sky from a swinging swing.

tsuyoku  kogidaseba			I believed endlessly
ano sora ni  todoite			that if I swung out hard,
aoku  kagayaku to			I'd reach that
hateshinaku  shinjita			shining blue sky.

Hold me again				Hold me again.
toki wa watashi wo mattanai		Time does not wait for me.
yobitomete mo  sugite-yuku		Even if I call to it to stop,
kumo no you ni	itsu no hi mo		it passes away like clouds, every day.
Hold me again				Hold me again.
sorezore ni  nagasarete mo		Even if we drift our respective ways,
watashi wa mou wasurenai		I will never forget that day's sky;
ano hi no sora  kono mune ni daite	I'll hold it in my heart.

sukoshi  kyuukutsu-na			Swaying from the swing,
BURANKO de  yurashita			which was a little cramped,
suki-na  ano sora wa			the sky I loved
hidoku  chiisakatta			was terribly small.

Hold me again				Hold me again.
toki ni oikosarete-yuku 		Time passes me by,
sumikitta kokoro made mo		stealing even my serene heart,
ubainagara  itsu no hi mo		every day.
Hold me again				Hold me again.
donna ni  kageridashite mo		No matter how dark it gets,
ano hi no  mabushii sora wo		I'll never forget
wasure wa shinai			that day's bright sky;
kono mune ni  daite			I'll hold it in my heart.
ano sora ni Hold me again		In that sky, hold me again.

あの空を抱きしめて ● 和田加奈子
「きまぐれオレンジ☆ロード　あの日にかえりたい」エンディング・テーマ (1988)

恋に落ちた時
恋を失くした時
涙見上げてた
ゆれる　ブランコの空

つよく　こぎだせば
あの空に　とどいて
あおく　輝やくと
果てしなく　信じた

Hold Me Again
時は私を待たない
呼びとめても　過ぎてゆく
雲のように　いつの日も
Hold Me Again
それぞれに　流されても
私はもう忘れない
あの日の空　この胸に抱いて

少し　きゅうくつな
ブランコで　ゆらした
好きな　あの空は
ひどく　小さかった

Hold Me Again
時に追いこされてゆく
澄みきった心までも
うばいながら　いつの日も
Hold Me Again
どんなに　かげりだしても
あの日の　まぶしい空を
忘れはしない
この胸に　抱いて
あの空に Hold Me Again
