Not disassembling today's music, we are going to study one of my favorite songs: オレンジ (Orange ) - by 7 - Second ending of the anime Shigatsu wa kimi no uso (四月は君の嘘).
We placed the acoustic version of the song in the video below, as it is a bit slower to make it easier to follow along with the lyrics. You can listen to the original version by clicking here.

Orange 7 - Lyrics with Kanji
小さな肩を並べて歩いた
何でもない事で笑い合い 同じ夢を見つめていた
耳を澄ませば 今でも聞こえる
君の声 オレンジ色に染まる街の中
君がいないと本当に退屈だね
寂しいと言えば笑われてしまうけど
残されたもの 何度も確かめるよ
消えることなく輝いている
雨上がりの空のような 心が晴れるような
君の笑顔を憶えている 思い出して笑顔になる
きっと二人はあの日のまま 無邪気な子供のまま
巡る季節を駆け抜けていく それぞれの明日を見て
一人になれば不安になると
眠りたくない夜は 話し続けていた
君はこれから何を見ていくんだろう
私はここで何を見ていくのだろう
沈む夕焼け オレンジに染まる街に
そっと涙を預けてみる
何億もの光の中 生まれた一つの愛
変わらなくても変わってしまっても 君は君だよ 心配無いよ
いつか二人が大人になって 素敵な人に出会って
かけがえのない家族を連れて この場所で逢えるといいな
雨上がりの空のような 心が晴れるような
君の笑顔を憶えている 思い出して笑顔になる
何億もの光の中 生まれた一つの愛
巡る季節を駆け抜けていく それぞれの明日を見て
それぞれの夢を選んで
Translation of the song
This translation was done by a team to suit our language, but it is not a 100% literal translation.
We walk with our shoulders aligned
Laughing at things that didn't matter as we looked ahead towards the same dream
If I listen closely, I can still hear:
Your voice, coloring this city orange
When you’re not around, I get bored
But when I say I'm feeling lonely, you just laugh at me.
I keep counting the things that remain to me
That shine brightly, without disappearing
Like the sky after the rain, like a heart being cleansed
I your smile, it floats in my mind, and makes me smile
Surely, just like that day, like innocent children,
We will run through the seasons, seeing each of our various tomorrows
Whenever you were alone and started to feel restless
On nights when I didn’t want to sleep, we kept talking.
I wonder what you will see from here
And what you will see here
I will try to trust my tears
To this city, where the sun stains everything orange
This love was born in the midst of millions of rays of light
Even if you never change, even if you change, you are you, so I don’t worry
One day we will become adults and meet wonderful people
And then, I hope we can bring our irreplaceable families to meet here again
Like the sky after the rain, like a heart being cleansed
I your smile, it floats in my mind, and makes me smile
This love was born amidst millions of rays of light
We will run through the seasons, seeing each of our many tomorrows
Choosing among each of our many dreams
