Lyrics & Translation

[English]

The first time I met you

was at the place where

spring had arrived.

The words we exchanged

felt like a line from a script,

but they never became a voice.

A gentle feeling

wraps around me.

I want to see you again,

lured by the spring breeze,

and I fell in love.

Blindingly bright,

I'm in love with you.

Just as I am,

I think of you just as I am.

Spring breeze, to me,

please smile.

The first time I met you

was at the place where

spring had arrived.

Even the cherry blossoms

were swaying,

still in bloom.

I watched your back

as you passed by.

I want to see you again,

by the mischievous spring breeze,

Love goes round,

so painfully sweet,

the sky opens wide,

with all my heart,

I stretch out my hand and lie down,

blown by the spring breeze,

dreaming of tomorrow.

I watched your back

as you passed by.

I want to see you again,

by the mischievous spring breeze,

Love goes round,

so painfully sweet,

the sky opens wide,

with all my heart,

I stretch out my hand and lie down,

blown by the spring breeze,

dreaming of tomorrow.

Lured by the spring breeze,

I fell in love.

Blindingly bright,

I'm in love with you.

Just as I am,

I think of you just as I am.

Spring breeze, please

smile for me.

[Japanese]

君と初めて

出会った場所は

春が来たところ

交わす言葉は

台詞みたいに

声にならなくて

優しい気持ちが

僕を包んでる

もう一度会いたい

春風に誘われて

恋に落ちた

まぶしいくらいの

君に恋をしてる

ありのまま

僕のまま君を想う

春風よ 僕に

ほほえんでおくれよ

君と初めて

出会った場所は

春が来たところ

桜の花も

揺れていました

まだ咲いていてね

すれ違う君の

背中 見送った

もう一度会いたい

春風のいたずらに

恋はめぐる

切ないくらいの

空が広がっている

思い切り

手を伸ばし寝転んだら

春風に吹かれ

明日を夢見ていた

すれ違う君の

背中 見送った

もう一度会いたい

春風のいたずらに

恋はめぐる

切ないくらいの

空が広がっている

思い切り

手を伸ばし寝転んだら

春風に吹かれ

明日を夢見ていた

春風に誘われて

恋に落ちた

まぶしいくらいの

君に恋をしてる

ありのまま

僕のまま君を想う

春風よ 僕に

ほほえんでおくれよ

Key Grammar Structures

• 君と初めて出会った場所は春が来たところ

  ➔ Relative Clause + Location

  ➔ The sentence uses a relative clause '初めて出会った場所' (the place where we first met) to modify 'ところ' (place). It describes *where* spring arrived, linking it to the first meeting. The particle 'は' marks the topic.

• 交わす言葉は台詞みたいに声にならなくて

  ➔ Negative Potential Form + Simile

  ➔ The verb 'なる' (to become) is in its potential negative form 'ならなくて' (couldn't become). This expresses the inability of the exchanged words to *become* a voice, like lines from a script. 'みたいに' means 'like'.

• もう一度会いたい春風に誘われて

  ➔ Desire + Passive/Causative

  ➔ 'もう一度会いたい' (want to meet again) expresses a desire. '春風に誘われて' (being invited by the spring breeze) uses the passive/causative form '誘われて' indicating the speaker is *being led* or *tempted* by the spring breeze.

• ありのまま僕のまま君を想う

  ➔ Adverbial Phrase + Repetition + Object

  ➔ 'ありのまま' (as you are) and '僕のまま' (as I am) are adverbial phrases describing the state of being. The repetition emphasizes thinking of 'you' ('君') in their natural state. '想う' (to think of) is the verb.
