サクラ (Sakura) – Cherry blossom
from Sakura single.
——
The cherry blossom petals drift into the sky
As the two of us continued to watch
When I close my eyes, it appears before me even now
The irreplaceable memories alone
Remain like on that day
The shifting seasons
Allow me to slowly leave and forget your face
The promise we made that day at this place
I still remember it now
At the end of the row of trees where we walked together
The dreams we drew out remain colorful
Quietly seeping into my heart
The cherry blossom petals drift into the sky
As the two of us continued to watch
When I close my eyes, it appears before me even now
The irreplaceable memories alone
Remain like on that day
This season, so naturally
They bloom in transience, then scatter
As tears shed
I look up at the cherry blossoms
And wish to be strong
Reaching the dream, singing for tomorrow
You’re always smiling
As you give me a push on the back
Overlapping feelings on the cherry blossom petals
I know that there’s no forever
When I close my eyes, it appears before me even now
The irreplaceable future alone
Remain like on that day
The unforgettable, unchanging words dye my heart
Unable to say “thank you” and “see you again”
I quietly think of you
The cherry blossom petals drift into the sky
As the two of us continued to watch
When I close my eyes, it appears before me even now
The irreplaceable memories alone
Overlapping feelings on the cherry blossom petals
I know that there’s no forever
When I close my eyes, it appears before me even now
The irreplaceable future alone
Remain like on that day

Sakura hanabira ga sora ni mai agaru
Futari itsumademo mitsumeteta
Hitomi wo tojireba imademo ukabu yo
Kakegae no nai omoide dake ga
Ano hi no mama de
Meguri yuku kisetsu wa
Kimi no kao wo sukoshi zutsu oki wasure saseru
Ano hi kono basho de kawashita yakusoku
Imademo oboeteiru kara
Isshoni aruita namiki no saki ni
Egaita yume wa iro asenai mama
Sotto kokoro wo someru
Sakura hanabira ga sora ni mai agaru
Futari itsumademo mitsumeteta
Hitomi wo tojireba imademo ukabu yo
Kakegae no nai omoide dake ga
Ano hi no mama de
Atarimae no you ni kono kisetsu ni
Saite wa hakanaku chitte yuku
Namida koboretara
Sakura wo mi agete
Tsuyoku naritai to negau
Yumeji wo tadotte ashita ni utaeba
Itsudemo kimi ga egao no mama de
Senaka wo oshite kureru yo
Sakura hanabira ni omoi wo kasanete
Eien wa nainda to shitta
Hitomi wo tojireba imademo ukabu yo
Kakegae no nai mirai dake ga
Ano hi no mama
Wasurenai kawaranai kotoba kokoro wo someteku
“Arigatou” “mata ne” ienai mama
Shizuka ni kimi wo omou
Sakura hanabira ga sora ni mai agaru
Futari itsumademo mitsumeteta
Hitomi wo tojireba imademo ukabu yo
Kakegae no nai omoide dake ga
Sakura hanabira ni omoi wo kasanete
Eien wa nainda to shitta
Hitomi wo tojireba imademo ukabu yo
Kakegae no nai mirai dake ga
Ano hi no mama de

桜花びらが空に舞い上がる
二人いつまでも見つめてた
瞳を閉じれば今でも浮かぶよ
かけがえのない想い出だけが
あの日のままで
めぐりゆく季節は
君の顔を少しずつ置き忘れさせる
あの日この場所で交わした約束
今でも覚えているから
一緒に歩いた並木の先に
描いた夢は色褪せないまま
そっと心を染める
桜花びらが空に舞い上がる
二人いつまでも見つめてた
瞳を閉じれば 今でも浮かぶよ
かけがえのない想い出だけが
あの日のままで
当たり前のようにこの季節に
咲いては儚く散ってゆく
涙こぼれたら
桜を見上げて
強くなりたいと願う
夢路をたどって明日に歌えば
いつでも君が笑顔のままで
背中を押してくれるよ
桜花びらに想いを重ねて
永遠は無いんだと知った
瞳を閉じれば 今でも浮かぶよ
かけがえのない未来だけが
あの日のまま
忘れない変わらない言葉 心を染めてく
「ありがとう」「またね」言えないまま
静かに君を想う
桜花びらが空に舞い上がる
二人いつまでも見つめてた
瞳を閉じれば 今でも浮かぶよ
かけがえのない想い出だけが
桜花びらに想いを重ねて
永遠は無いんだと知った
瞳を閉じれば 今でも浮かぶよ
かけがえのない未来だけが
あの日のままで
