Bloom

• By: Superfly

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

胸の奥で そっと

Deep inside my heart, gently

育ててきた 愛の種は

The seed of love I've been nurturing

いびつな硬い殻に 包まれてた

Was wrapped in a distorted, hard shell

やっと芽を出して

Finally sprouting

幾千の涙の雨も

Overcoming countless rains of tears

長い冬も乗り越えて

And long winters

咲いた 小さな愛の花が

A small flower of love bloomed

こんな色をしてたんだね

So this is the color it was

いまは一輪だけど いつか

It's just one flower now, but someday

こころに無限の花を咲かせるでしょう

It will bloom countless flowers in my heart

温もりと光をたっぷり与えてないと

If I don't give it plenty of warmth and light

...

...

二つの太陽で照らしてあげないと

If we don't shine two suns upon it

枯れてしまうのよ 二人の笑顔で

It will wither away, with our two smiles

誰も気づかないかもしれない

No one might notice

こんなささやかな花には

Such a humble little flower

いまは頼りないけど いつか

It's unreliable now, but someday

綺麗な永遠の花を咲かせられるわ

I can bloom a beautiful, eternal flower

あなたとならば

If I'm with you

...

...

光に包まれて

Bathed in light

...

...

あなたと手を取って

Taking your hand

...

...

眩しい未来へと

Towards a bright future

...

...

あなたと歩いてゆく

I'll walk with you

...

...
