Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

貴方は風のように

You are like the wind

目を閉じては夕暮れ

Closing my eyes at sunset

何を思っているんだろうか

I wonder what you're thinking

目蓋を開いていた

I kept my eyes open

貴方の目はビイドロ

Your eyes are like glass

少しだけ晴るの匂いがした

Just a little scent of clear sky

晴れに晴れ、花よ咲け

Sunny and bright, let the flowers bloom

咲いて晴るのせい

Because they bloom in the clear sky

降り止めば雨でさえ

Even rain that falls and stops

貴方を飾る晴る

Decorates you with clear skies

胸を打つ音よ凪げ

The sound that strikes my chest, calm down

僕ら晴る風

We are the spring breeze

あの雲も越えてゆけ

Overcoming that cloud too

遠くまだ遠くまで

Going far, still far away

貴方は晴れ模様に

You are like the sunshine

目を閉じては青色

Closing my eyes at blue sky

何が悲しいのだろうか

I wonder what makes you sad

目蓋を開いている

I keep my eyes open

貴方の目にビイドロ

Your eyes are like glass

今少し雨の匂いがした

Now I sense the smell of rain a little

泣きに泣け、空よ泣け

Cry and cry, sky, cry too

泣いて雨のせい

Crying because of the rain

降り頻る雨でさえ

Even the pouring rain

雲の上では晴る

Is clear above the clouds

土を打つ音よ鳴れ

The sound of hitting the ground, ring out

僕ら春荒れ

We are the wild spring

あの海も越えてゆく

Overcoming that sea too

遠くまだ遠くまで

Traveling far, still far away

通り雨　草を靡かせ

A passing shower, rustling the grass

羊雲　あれも春のせい

Sheep clouds, that’s also spring’s fault

風のよう　胸に春乗せ

Like the wind, spring rides in my heart

晴るを待つ

Waiting for the clear sky

晴れに晴れ、空よ裂け

Sunny and bright, skies, split open

裂いて春のせい

Splitting open because of spring

降り止めば雨でさえ

Even rain that stops falling

貴方を飾る晴る

Decorates you with clear skies

胸を打つ音奏で

Playing the heart-touching sound

僕ら春風

We are the spring breeze

音に聞く晴るの風

Listening to the wind of the clear sky

さぁこの歌よ凪げ！

Come on, this song, calm down!

晴れに晴れ、花よ咲け

Sunny and bright, flowers, bloom

咲いて春のせい

Blooming because of spring

あの雲も越えてゆけ

Overcoming that cloud too

遠くまだ遠くまで

Traveling far, still far away
