Garden – Bilingual Lyrics Japanese/English
Lyrics & Translation
I fall in love.
Only with this wonderful warmth.
Let me touch it, with this skin.
The clouds take on summer's hue.
I close my eyes.
Only beautiful moments.
Chasing them until they fade away.
Flowers bloom and then wither.
I'm captivated by you.
Yet I want to keep protecting my feelings.
My garden, until it ends.
People meet and say goodbye.
Losing something, then gaining it back.
Still, I want to keep protecting it.
My garden, until it ends.
Night calls autumn.
I set out on a journey.
Only waiting for wonderful encounters.
Waiting until that day.
So winter, come on in.
Hold me close.
With the warmth of your hands.
Let me live, melting away.
Flowers bloom and then wither.
I'm captivated by you.
Yet I want to keep protecting my feelings.
My garden, until it ends.
People meet and say goodbye.
Losing something, then gaining it back.
Still, I want to keep protecting it.
My garden, until it ends.
Placed amidst the seasons.
Surrendering to the flow.
Just letting things take their course.
Accepting everything as it is.
Only shedding tears.
And spreading love.
In this abundant garden.
Release the hands that hold on.
To the ends of the sky.
Flowers bloom and then wither.
I'm captivated by you.
Yet I want to keep protecting my feelings.
My garden, until it ends.
People meet and say goodbye.
Losing something, then gaining it back.
Still, I want to keep protecting it.
My garden, until it ends.
