Let’s give a name to the nameless flower—one that is unique in all the world.
So it won’t be crushed by the winter cold, so it can rise again at the sound of a voice.
A cluster of life sleeping in the soil, pushing its way up through the asphalt.
Every time we meet, we share the loneliness felt when apart—
Like the sun and the moon.
Flowers that bear no fruit, flowers that fall while still in bud…
They watch the future unfolding for you and someone else, bathed in the spring breeze.
With every cherry blossom petal that falls, another unreached feeling fades away,
Erased by tears and smiles; and so, we’ve grown up a little more.
A sorrow that simply chases after the past—a sorrow both strong and pure—
Remains forever unchanged.
Don’t lose it—the Love blooming within you…
I saw you in the city, looking lonely as you blended into the crowd.
Hoping the sparkle deep within those clear eyes from back then
Wouldn’t be tarnished by the rapid passage of time.
Don’t say a word; some things are beyond words.
The tears you shed turn into rain, healing the wounds in my heart.
Everyone holds a flower on the shores of their heart—one they never want to let go.
It isn’t a hardy bloom, but a single, fragile flower swaying gently.
In the number of its petals, I feel the strength to go on living—
Believing that even when battered by storms and winds, no rain lasts forever.
With every cherry blossom petal that falls, another unreached feeling fades away,
Erased by tears and smiles; and so, we’ve grown up a little more.
A sorrow that simply chases after the past—a sorrow both strong and pure—
Remains forever unchanged.
The Love blooming within you—and within me…
Let’s give a name to the nameless flower—one that is unique in all the world.
So it won’t be crushed by the winter cold, so it can rise again at the sound of a voice.
