Those days I dreamed of on that distant spring day... Disappear into the sky

Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Yureru omoi no take wo dakishimeta
Kimi to haru ni negai shi ano yume wa
Ima mo miete iru yo sakura mai chiru
[The cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down
Embracing every bit of my fluttering love
Even now, I’m dreaming the dream I prayed for with you that spring
The cherry blossoms scatter]

Densha kara mieta no wa
Itsuka no omokage
Futari de kayotta haru no oohashi
Sotsugyou no toki ga kite
Kimi wa machi wo deta
Iroduku kawabe ni ano hi wo sagasu no
[From the train I could see
The traces of one day

The big bridge we crossed together

Graduation time came
And you left town
On the colourful riverbank, I search for that day]

Sorezore no michi wo erabi
Futari wa haru wo oeta
Saki hokoru mirai wa
Atashi wo aserasete
Odakyuusen no mado ni
Kotoshi mo sakura ga utsuru
Kimi no koe ga kono mune ni
Kikoete kuru yo
[We went our separate ways
And brought our spring to an end
My future is in full bloom
But it fills me with panic
This year, once again, the cherry blossoms are reflected
In the window of the Odakyuu train
In my heart
I hear your voice]

Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Yureru omoi no take wo dakishimeta
Kimi to haru ni negai shi ano yume wa
Ima mo miete iru yo sakura mai chiru
[The cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down
Embracing every bit of my fluttering love
Even now, I’m dreaming the dream I prayed for with you that spring
The cherry blossoms scatter]

Kaki kaketa tegami ni wa
“Genki de iru yo” to
Chiisa na uso wa misuka sareru ne
Meguri yuku kono machi mo
Haru wo ukeirete
Kotoshi moa no hana ga tsubomi wo hiraku
[The start of my letter to you
Says “I’m doing OK”
You’ll see through that little lie, won’t you?
Even the town going past
Is taking in the spring
The flowers are opening their buds again this year]

Kimi ga inai hibi wo koete
Atashi mo otona ni natteiku
Kouyatte subete wasurete iku no ka na
“Hontou ni suki dattanda”
Sakura ni te wo nobasu
Kono omoi ga ima haru ni tsutsumarete iku yo
[I’ll get through these days without you
And I, too, will grow up
Will I forget everything?
“I really loved you”
I hold out my hands to the cherry blossoms
Now my love is wrapped in the spring]

Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Yureru omoi no take wo daki yoseta
Kimi ga kureshi tsuyoki ano kotoba wa
Ima mo mune ni nokoru sakura mai yuku
[The cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down
Embracing every bit of my fluttering love
Even now, the strong words you gave me
Remain in my heart; the cherry blossoms dance]

Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Yureru omoi no take wo dakishimeta
Tooki haru ni yumemi shi ano hibi wa
Sora ni kiete iku yo
[The cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down
Embracing every bit of my fluttering love
Those days I dreamed of on that distant spring day
Disappear into the sky]

Sakura hirahira mai orite ochite
Haru no sono mukou he to aruki dasu
Kimi to haru ni chikai shi kono yume wo tsuyoku
Mune ni daite sakura mai chiru
[The cherry blossoms fall, fluttering down
And I walk out into the spring
I clutch the dream I promised you that spring
Tightly to my chest; the cherry blossoms dance]
