[English]
The spring breeze blows from somewhere
Along the familiar path
Changing colors as I walk
Celebrating and mourning
The past seasons have gone by
A new road begins
I start to walk again
Cherry blossoms are
A bookmark of farewell
Gently fluttering, I wave my hand
I see my friend's face
Cherry blossoms are
A bookmark of tears
To forever remember this precious moment
As I gaze up at the sky
I realize the vastness
空を見上げれば
その大きさに
果てしなく続く
道の長さを知った
晴れの日も雨の日も
明日は来るから
So I can remember...
一歩 踏み出す
桜の花は
未来の栞
いつか見たその夢を
思い出せるように・・・
桜の花は
希望の栞
あきらめてしまうより
A bookmark of the heart
桜の花は
心の栞
輝いた青春の
木漏れ日が眩しい
桜の花は
あの日の栞
人はみな 満開に
咲いた夢 忘れはしない
