This song feels like it’s being told from a third-person perspective. That doesn’t really work, though, because apparently we’re meant to assume that the subject of most Japanese sentences is ‘I’ unless indicated otherwise. It’s almost like nobody is singing this song, which feels really odd.


歌詞

桜 夜に溢れて
その生命を 躍らせてるように
はらはらと舞えば 花弁の彩に染めて
風揺らした髪 棚引かせて

春を待ち焦がれる 風は冷たくて
見上げた星 重ねる 忘れない日々に

悴んだ手で指折り数えてた 深い雪の中
振り切る刃に想いと翳して また眼を閉じれば

桜 夢に溢れて
その香りに 包まれるみたいに
闇夜に浮かべた 束の間の彩あるから
また明日へ 歩ける気がして

いつか花は枯れる 君の口癖で
生命は永遠じゃないと 忘れないために

夜風に凛と儚く散ってゆく 美しさを知って
繰り返した季節を廻りながら また大人になった

桜 君に憧れ
その情に 寄り添ってるように
二人の誓いは 幾千のときを告げて
その運命を 暖かく照らして

桜 夜に溢れて
その生命を 躍らせてるように
はらはらと舞えば 花弁の彩に染めて
風が運んだ また次の春へ

Translation

The night overflows with cherry blossoms
So the hearts of living things will be made to dance.
When they dance down, they will linger above my hair,
Dyed the colour of the blossoms and swaying in the wind.

I long for the spring. The wind is cold.
I look up at the stars and see those unforgettable days.

I counted on my numb fingers in the dense snow.
I held out my feelings toward my blade. When I close my eyes once more…

My dreams overflow with cherry blossoms.
It’s like I’m being wrapped up in their fragrance.
Because their colours appeared in the night for an instant,
I feel like I can keep walking toward tomorrow.

“Someday, those flowers will die…” That was your favourite saying.
You kept saying it so I wouldn’t forget that life isn’t eternal.

The flowers scattered in the night breeze, nobly and in vain. I understood how beautiful they were.
As the seasons cycled around, I became an adult once more.

The cherry blossoms long for you
So they may draw closer to your heart.
Our vow marks the passing of thousands of years
And it shines warmly upon that fate.

The night overflows with cherry blossoms
So the hearts of living things will be made to dance.
When they dance down, I will be dyed the same colour as them.
The wind carried them, again, toward the next spring.
