Sakura no kisetsu ga kita ne
Shoutengai no ano kouen mo
Samusa ni makezu ni hirahira to
Kotoshi mo mankai wo mukaetemasu.

Issho ni aruita yoru wa
Kirei ni akari ga tomotteta ne
Mijikai hohaba de chakuchaku to
Watashi mo ippozutsu aruitemasu.

Are kara dore kurai
Tsukihi ga tatta no ka nante sa
Wasuresou ni naru na
Tachidomatte miageta sakura.

Deai mo areba wakare mo aru nante
Dareka ga kimeta kisetsu ni
Mata ne to ookiku te wo futte
Sayonara ja nai koto tashikameta
Kotoba ni naranai kimochi wa
Kono hanabira ni nosereba iin da yo
Tte kimi ga oshiete kureta koto
Ima demo chanto oboeteiru kara.

Sakura no kisetsu ga sugiru to
Shoutengai no ano kouen mo
Yakume wo oeta you ni shizuka de
Nandaka sukoshi samishiku narimasu.

Ima demo kawaranai?
Shiranai koto mo kitto fueta ne
Amaetakunai kara
Ano hi ni oite kita futatsu no kage.

Saisho no namida mo saigo no egao mo
Mimamotte kureta kimi wo
Mabataki suru no mo kowagatte
Nandomo nandomo yakitsuketeta

Kimi ga omotte kureta koto

Are kara takusan no
Tsukihi ga watashi wo kaeta kara

Sayonara ja nai koto tashikameta
Kotoba ni naranai kimochi wa
Kono hanabira ni nosereba iin da yo
Tte kimi ga oshiete kureta koto
Ima nara chanto wakatteiru kara

===================

The season of cherry blossoms has arrived
In that shopping district's park
They reach full bloom this year again
Braving the cold and fluttering in the air.

The lights glowed beautifully
On the nights we walked together
In a short stride
I too steadily walk one step at a time.

How much time has passed
Ever since then?
I'm starting to forget
The cherry blossoms we stopped to look up at.

In a season where someone decides that
If there are encounters, there are partings as well
We said "See you later" and gave a big wave
To make sure it wasn't goodbye
I hope the feelings I couldn't put into words
Are carried out on these flower petals
Even now I still remember exactly
What you taught me.

The season of cherry blossoms passes by
And as if fulfilling its role
That shopping district's park
Becomes quiet and somehow a little lonely.

Has it still not changed?
There are so many things that are unfamiliar
Because we don't want to be dependent on each other
Two shadows were left behind that day.

You protected those first tears and those last smiles
I was scared to blink my eyes
It burned into my mind over and over
Words aren't enough
I was embarrassed
About shouting out such selfishness
I noticed the things
You felt about me.

All of those days since then
Have changed me, so I wonder if
The cherry blossoms that have bloomed beautifully
Seem different.

In a season where someone decides that
If there are encounters, there are partings as well
We said "See you later" and gave a big wave
To make sure it wasn't goodbye
I hope the feelings I couldn't put into words
Are carried out on these flower petals
I understand exactly now
What you taught me
Even now...
