行く春来る春 (Yuku haru kuru haru) – Spring goes, spring comes
——
The road I started on with you that day continues here
Now, I stand on a level we couldn’t see at that time
I’ve lost my bearings when things changed
Every time, my heart shook
New surprises and never-before-felt palpitations
I’ve met them all
The birds called as they flew away
I can’t call out, nor can I fly
You won’t show me any weakness
But
You thought
The same way
As I did
So I smiled
Spring goes, Bye Bye, March sky
Spring comes, Hello, turning serious
I’ve grasped a courage that allows me to go anywhere
To love, to trust
Noble things, beautiful things
Everything was shining
I learnt that from you
From the slope I dashed up onto, I watch tomorrow’s sea
So close that I can see
To the other side of that wave
Where hope is waiting
Tears turn brittle, like fish
Even though I can’t swim well
You won’t speak of weakness
Like me
You felt
The same way
As I did
So I smiled
Spring goes, Bye Bye, a misty sky
Spring comes, Hello, flowers bloom
I’ve grasped a reality that will never change
To be honest, to be serious
Refreshing things, frank things
Everything is so dazzling
I learnt that from you
There were meetings
There were separations
Spring is happy
Sad
Precious
And dazzling, but
I won’t forget the present
Even if spring comes
And goes
Tens of times
I won’t forget you
Let’s walk straight on together on this new road
Spring goes, Bye Bye, a misty sky
Spring comes, Hello, flowers bloom
A reality that will never change, Smile
Spring goes, Bye Bye, March sky
Spring comes, Hello, turning serious
I’ve grasped a courage that allows me to go anywhere
To love, to trust
Noble things, beautiful things
Everything was shining
I learnt that from you
Precious things
All of it from you
I learnt it all from you
