[English]

The cherry blossoms flutter and quickly fall apart.

The sky is calling out, calling for summer to come quickly, quickly.

Please don't rush, take your time.

Slowly, please fall in love with me...

Weekdays without you

Are just painfully lonely.

I want to see you, I feel anxious.

The whole world is in monotone shades...

Even though you held me with such tenderness,

You act like nothing's wrong.

I can't leave you, you're like a spring breeze – a little cold.

The cherry blossoms flutter and quickly fall apart.

Other flowers are blooming beautifully.

Right now, I don’t want sadness.

Give color to this feeling of mine.

Vivid colors, like spring dancing—Sweet Spring.

When you fall in love with someone,

It’s truly just in an instant.

That person's presence overflows my heart,

And I sigh deeply.

People tell me I worry too much,

But even friends don’t feel like an escape.

Am I being selfish? Only you wrap me like sunlight.

The cherry blossoms flutter and quickly fall apart.

The sky is calling for summer to come quickly, quickly.

Please don’t rush, take your time.

Slowly, please fall in love with me.

This is not the season for goodbyes,

It's the season to meet and fall in love, isn’t it?

I hate the back-and-forth of sweet moments and painful anxieties.

Bring me the spring you carry from afar.

The cherry blossoms flutter and quickly fall apart.

Other flowers are blooming beautifully.

Right now, I don’t want sadness.

Color this feeling of mine.

[Japanese]

サクラはハラハラすぐに散っちゃって

空が早く早くと夏を呼んでる

お願い急ぎすぎないで

ゆっくりとね 好きになってね…

あなたと過ごせない平日は

ただただ もう淋しくて

会いに行きたくなる 不安よ

世界中がね モノトーンカラーで…

すごく優しい顔して 抱きついたのに

何にもなかった そぶりをするから

離れられない あなたまるで 春風みたい少し冷たい

サクラはハラハラすぐに散っちゃって

他の花たちが綺麗に咲いてる

今はかなしみは欲しくない

この気持ちに色をください

春が躍(おど)るような 鮮やかな色を Sweet Spring

誰かを好きになるときって

ホントに そう一瞬で

その人のことだけ溢れて

零れるのよ 大きなため息

心配しすぎだよって 言われるけど

友達さえも 逃げ場にならない

わがままですか？ あなただけが 陽だまりみたい包んでくれる

サクラはハラハラすぐに散っちゃって

空が早く早くと夏を呼んでる

お願い急ぎすぎないで

ゆっくりとね 好きになってね

サヨナラの季節じゃない 出会って恋する季節でしょう？

甘い時間と苦しいせつなさを行ったり来たりはイヤ

私の春あなたから 運んできて

サクラはハラハラすぐに散っちゃって

他の花たちが綺麗に咲いてる

今はかなしみは欲しくない

この気持ちに色をください

春が躍(おど)るような 鮮やかな色を Sweet Spring
