Sotto hoo naderu kaze
Uiuishiku odoru wakamidori
Amaku sunda kaori mo
Haruno tsukai mo minna
Youki de arou to tsutomedomo
Sora wa kodoku
Haru wa iki wo fukikaeshite
Kimi wo yondeiru no ni...
🌸 Hanabie ni sarawareru kimi wo
Hikitomeru koto mo kanawazu tatazumu
Sakura no yakusoku hatasanu mama
Doushite kimi wa hitori

Nigotta shisen no saki
Uzumaku hanabira tachi wa marude
Sekitomerareta kokoro
Daibensuru ka no gotoku
“Inochi wa hakanaku sore yue utsukushii”
Nagusame nado imi wo motazu
Douka damatte
🌸 Arashi ni uchinomesare you to
Maitsuzukerukoto shika shiranai kimi
Suikomaresouna sunda hitomi
Aa boku no michishirube
🌸 Te ni nokoru kimi no nukumori mo
Asobigokoro manten na kimi no ne mo
Amazuppai kushakusha no kao mo
Towa ni kokoro afure

*Official English Translation*
The wind caresses my cheeks
As newborn greens dance excitedly
The sweet, clear scent of nature’s rebirth
The messenger of Spring, and everyone…
Although the sky pretends to be cheerful,
We can feel his loneliness in blue
The reborn Spring, breathing once more,
Is calling out to you… so, why?
🌸 The cruel cold took you from me
As, unable to stop it, I could only stand in place.
Why, like the cherry blossoms we promised to see together,
Did you scatter all alone?
My clouded sight cannot see ahead
To the whirling petals as they try to tell me
To feel the feelings I locked away in darkness
They say, “A life is beautiful because it’s ephemeral.”
So what? Platitudes do nothing,
So don’t even say such a thing
🌸 Even as the storm beat down on you,
You could only put forth your absolute best to flourish
And even as I lose myself in the lore handed down through your deep, expressive eyes,
Ah, you always lead me to the proper road ahead
🌸 My hand still remembers the warmth of yours
My ears still hear the sound of you, full of playfulness and cheer
We laughed too hard to remember, before the sweet and sour face we shared
My heart is filled to the brim with your eternal bloom.
