[English]

As the petals gently fall

No one reaches out their hand

As if mixed with sadness

With a cold, masking smile

Swaying softly

Just like the wind

Swaying softly

The place where my fallen heart reaches

Maybe it's warmer than now

Enduring the summer, getting wet in the rain

Living just for someone else, wanting to fall apart

Living in a fleeting moment, but meeting you

I've come to realize everything has a meaning

Falling down to you, I want to see you now

Someday, surely, you’ll find in my heart

"I am a flower, I am a flower"

Because I believe that I bloom beautifully

Fallin' Fallin' Fallin' Fallin'

Fallin' Fallin' Fallin' Fallin'

Fallin' Fallin', Yeah

Now to you, Fallin' Fallin' Fallin' Fallin'

Fallin' Fallin', Yeah

"I am a flower, I am a flower"

Now to you, Fallin' Fallin' Fallin' Fallin'

Fallin' Fallin', Yeah

As called, Fallin'

To your warm chest

The blurred future

Becomes clear when I meet you

Swaying softly

Just like the wind

Swaying softly

The place where my fallen heart reaches

The happiest moment in the world

Staring at the blue sky, blooming once more

I want to become everything to someone

Living in a fleeting moment, but meeting you

I've come to realize everything has a meaning

As flowers bloom and scatter, wounds heal, and buds grow

We are living the only and first moment now

So I don’t take you for granted

Because you loved this me

Falling down to you

Now Fallin' Fallin' Fallin' Fallin'

Fallin' Fallin', Yeah

Now to you, Fallin' Fallin' Fallin' Fallin'

Fallin' Fallin', Yeah

"I am a flower, I am a flower"

Now to you, Fallin' Fallin' Fallin' Fallin'

Fallin' Fallin', Yeah

舞い落ちる花びらには

誰も手を伸ばさない

悲しみが混ざったような

冷たい笑顔のまま

ゆらり舞い

風のままに

ゆらり舞い

落ちた心のたどり着く先は

誰かのために散りたいなんて

刹那に生きてたけど君と会い
