If you’d like to learn more about the title’s meaning, please check out its Wikipedia page! I know Wikipedia has a pretty bad reputation, but in this case it’s good for an overview. I also took the title translation from there since it seems to be the standard interpretation of it.

Anyway, in short, it’s based on an old Chinese book. The first two characters actually aren’t referring to Tokyo.


歌詞

華散る夢に舞う…季節はもう貴方を
置いていった Kiss も 届かな異世界…

違う別れが訪れて 異世界 恋哀し雨
夢に泣きつく 己の儚い恋歌…

華散り夢に舞う 貴方の影探す
戦乱恋の中 涙夢世界…

愛しくて 手を離さないでと
忘れられぬ人よ 私 風と散る…

そうして血が流れ始めて 浮世の恋 銀世界
忘れえぬ雨…遠くて 声 届けたくて…

儚く夢に舞う 恋多き世界で
幾多の戦火へと 愛…多…響…音いて…

行かないで 忘れはしないでよ
手を寄せて歩いた 月夜晩世界…

幾多の戦火へと 貴方の影探す
華散り夢に舞う この身投げ入れて…

行かないで 季節は巡るだけ
戦乱恋の歌 私 華と散る…

Translation

I dance in a dream in which flowers scatter… The seasons have already left you behind.
Even the kiss you left behind cannot reach me in this parallel world.

In a parallel universe, in which we parted differently, a rain of love and sorrow falls.
I cling to dreams in tears. This is my fleeting love song…

Dancing in a dream in which flowers scatter, I search for traces of you.
Amidst warlike love, this is a world of dreams and tears…

You’re so lovely, saying “don’t let go!”
O, one who I will never forget! I scatter with the wind.

And so, blood begins to flow. My transient love. The snowscape.
Unforgettable rain… I want to deliver my voice to you, in the distance…

I dance in a transient dream, in a world full of love.
I head towards many wars. I aim love, multitudes, echoes, sounds… (1)

Don’t go! Never forget me!
We walked, hand in hand, in a moonlit world at night…

Heading towards many wars, I search for traces of you.
Dancing in a dream in which flowers scatter, I throw myself straight in…

Don’t go! The seasons just cycle.
This is my song of warlike love. I scatter with the flowers…


Translator’s note

(1) The last part is sung differently. It sounds something like 愛を響音いて (ai wo hibineite) which means something like ‘love echoes through.’
