- In the dark while [they?] call out to each other
- Disappeared regrets and the coming trials
- [I] just stand there unable to say anything
- Even though [I'm] unable to return or change in any way
- As [I] look out at the mist or the clouds
- In the fields, mountains, and ocean the flowers are all in full bloom
- There is no time and [my] heart is not here
- Come now come now, [let's] go see the sky
- [This verse is an allusion to the lyrics of Sakura Sakura. I pasted the translation of them that's on Wikipedia at the bottom]
- The more helpless a flower is the more fragrant it is
- Even if it has thorns or poison
- Looking like decorated snowflakes[???]
- If the dark night isn't dark
- If the cold winter isn't cold, see
- Wildly blooming flower petals
- And a vivid moment
- The wind swirls around like a blizzard
- Sometime at this place a bonfire [will be] lit
- Within the wildly blooming petals
- From a pink somei-yoshino [kind of cherry tree]
- Ripples call out to each other like that in the gap of time
- An entrusted will and a grudge cut off
- Even though [I'm] unable to return or change in any way
- To the clear sky that chirps if you call out to it
- As I abandon the arare [small hail] or hyou [large hail]
- Plants thrive in the fields, mountains, and ocean
- I know not time or [my] heart
- Come now come now, [let's] go see the sky
- The flower strains itself [to say] its faint wishes
- That will not be granted and pour down like rain
- Holding on to the exchanged promise
- ["straining oneself to say something" (furishiboru) and "pouring down like rain" (furishikiru) sound very similar in Japanese, so these seem like they were mainly chosen for how they sound]
- Rather than lamenting the ending days
- Rather than grieving over the hot summer, see
- The glorious visage
- Of wildly blooming flower petals
- Even an unpredictable fate
- Even a fleeting, faint moment
- Wildly blooming flower petals
- And the morning star held high, someday in that place
- At the destination you searched for and seeked
- The sunshine pours down -- the cherry blossoms dance
- Even though you have (you lost)
- No way of knowing (you don't know)
- The pink swirls about
- If the dark night isn't dark
- If the cold winter isn't cold, see
- Wildly blooming flower petals
- And a vivid moment
- Even an unpredictable fate
- If it's a pink somei-yoshino
- It can surely even negate the shadow
- Of wildly blooming flower petals, in that place
- [Lyrics to Sakura Sakura]
- Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
- In fields, mountains and villages
- As far as the eye can see.
- Is it mist, or clouds?
- Fragrant in the morning sun.
- Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
- Flowers in full bloom.
- Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms,
- Across the spring sky,
- As far as the eye can see.
- Is it mist, or clouds?
- Fragrant in the air.
- Come now, come now,
- Let's go and see them!
