[English]

Petals staining the sky

At the end of my gaze, which has begun to change color

Right now, I realized that I love you

These feelings for you

To be honest, I want to know the truth

I want to take one more step to be sure

The words you said yesterday

Why do they resonate so deeply within me?

A petal riding on the gentle breeze

Suddenly brushed against your back

Whether I should reach out or call your name

I'm desperately hesitating

Every time I search for an answer

I catch a faint scent of you

Drifting, drifting, drifting

As I'm enveloped by it

I dream, but it hurts

And yet, it feels somewhat precious

These first, pure and clear words of mine

Entrusted to the petals

Dancing in the spring

I want to make it come true no matter what

I pray to be by your side

Within my hands, just five seconds away

I want to try and grasp the future

Hey, in my heart, I called your name

Over and over again

And then, I finally spoke it aloud

You turned around with such gentle eyes

That image is burned into my mind

The song that said "I love you"

I've been listening to it, mimicking it

I wonder what kind of love

You are imagining in your head

In the middle of these fleeting moments

Of our youth passing by

I want to feel everything I can right now

While we're caught in the same breeze

I want to feel it all

Through a sadness I'd never known

I saw your silhouette blurring away

Tearing up, tearing up, tearing up

Before the tears overflow

I have to tell you properly

No matter what

The ending of this love may be

That I fell in love with you

I want to be able to say, surely, surely

That I am proud of all of it

I'm in love, but it hurts

And yet, it feels irreplaceable

These first, pure and clear words of mine

Entrusted to the petals

Dancing in love

...

[Japanese]

花びら 染めてく空

色づき始めた視線の先に

今、好きだと気づいた

君への気持ち

本当は知ってみたい

もう一歩 確かめたい

昨日の君の言葉

どうして こんなに響いてるの

そよぐ風に乗った花びらが

ふいに君の背中に触れた

手を伸ばすか 声をかけるかで

必死に迷ってる

答えを探すたびに

ほんのり 君の香りがするの

ふわり ふわり ふわり

包まれながら

夢見て でも痛くて

それでも 少し愛しいような

初めての 青く澄んだ言の葉を

託した花びらが

春に舞う

どうしても 叶えたくて

願うよ 君のとなり

手の中 5秒先の

未来を掴んでみたいんだ

ねえ 心では 何度も呼んでた

その名前を口にしたんだ

優しい目で 振り向いてくれた

君が焼き付いてる

夢にまで見るほど

好きって言ってた歌

真似して聴いてるんだ

君はどんな恋を

思い描いているんだろう

一瞬で過ぎていく

青春の真ん中で

出来る限りの今を

同じ風の中で

感じたくて

知らなかった切なさに

滲んだ君の背中が見えた

ほろり ほろり ほろり

溢れる前に

ちゃんと伝えなきゃ

この恋の結末が

なんでも

君に恋したことを

きっと きっと 全部

誇れるように

恋して でも痛くて

それでも かけがえのないような

初めての 青く澄んだ言の葉を

託した花びらが

恋に舞う
