コブクロ – 桜

Kobukuro – Cherry Blossoms     

Let’s give a name to a nameless flower  

A one-of-a-kind name in this world  

So that it will not be overwhelmed by the winter cold and  

It will rise again when hearing someone’s voice  

A nugget of life sleeping in the soil shoves through asphalt

The two of us share the loneliness we feel when we cannot see each other

Every time we see each other

We are like the sun and the moon

Blossoms that do not bear fruit and buds that fall before blooming

Are seeing the future of you and someone while bathing in the spring wind

Every time cherry blossoms fall,

Another feeling that remains unnoticed is obscured by tears and smiles,

Making me grow up a little further

Sorrow in just chasing someone and strong, pure sorrow will remain the same forever

Don’t lose the love blooming in you

I saw you being part of a crowd forlornly in a town

So that the sparkle deep in the unclouded eyes you had around that time 

Won’t be stained by the speed of time

You don’t need to talk

You must be lost for words

Shed tears will become rain,

Healing the scars in my mind

Everyone has a flower he/she does not want to let go of on the bank of his/her heart

It is not a sturdy flower, but a single flower swaying in a fleeting manner

I feel the vigor for survival that is proportional to the number of petals

No matter whether it is hit by a storm and battered by the wind,

There is no endless rain

Every time cherry blossoms fall,

Another feeling that remains unnoticed is obscured by tears and smiles,

Making me grow up a little further

Sorrow in just chasing someone and strong, pure sorrow will remain the same forever

Everlasting love blooming in you and me

Let’s give a name to a nameless flower

A one-of-a-kind name in this world

So that it will not be overwhelmed by the winter cold and 

It will rise again when hearing someone’s voice
