[English]

For example, even if your eyes are wet right now

I can't hear the voice calling anymore

Like melting paint, our days together are

Bleeding into my memories

If I seek something, something else will spill out

In this world like this

Like that flower waiting for the spring breeze If there's a light called you

Beyond the cycles of destiny I'll bloom the flower of love

A bouquet of flowers

If my wish could come true

I'd like to live again in our world

The days that sprout from that kiss

The aqua-colored petals have forgotten their scent

My feelings for you are fading away

In a heart that seems about to scatter

The newly learned beauty of love

Hey, let it bloom

Like that flower waiting for the spring breeze

If I could just be honest with my heart

Even if I can't touch you

Even if my feelings trouble me

I won't forget

Piecing together this love, one by one If there's a light called you

Beyond the cycles of destiny I'll bloom the flower of love

A bouquet of flowers

[Japanese]

例えば今君が その瞳濡らしていたとしても　

呼ぶ声はもう聞こえない

絵の具を溶かすように君との日々は

記憶の中滲んでく

何かを求めれば何かがこぼれ落ちてく

そんなこの世界で

春の風を待つあの花のように 君という光があるのなら

巡り巡る運命を超えて 咲かせるさ愛の花を

花束を

願いが叶うのなら

ふたりの世界また生きてみたい

あのキスから芽吹く日々

水色花びらはもう香りを忘れ

君への想い枯れていく

散ってしまいそうな心に

覚えたての愛の美しさを

ねぇ 咲かせて

春の風を待つあの花のように

飾らない心でいられたら

触れられなくても

想い煩っても

忘れないよ

この恋をひとつずつ束ねいて 君という光があるのなら

巡り巡る運命を超えて 咲かせるさ愛の花を

花束を
