SAKURA-saku KOKORO-saku

Cherry Blossoms Blooming, Heart Blooming

SAKURA-saku KOKORO-saku

The cherry blossoms of a dream that won't fade, fluttering, dancing in the air
消えないユメの桜 ひらりひらり 舞うよ
kienai yume no sakura hirari hirari mau yo
A dream that won't fade is like cherry blossoms, soaring to the sky, heading to the future
消えないユメは桜 空を舞いミライへ
kienai yume wa sakura sora wo mai mirai e

Everyone knows, but they don’t realize until that day
誰もが知ってるけど その日まで気づかないんだ
dare mo ga shitteru kedo sono hi made kizukanainda
A new season awaits beyond the encounters
出会いの先に待っている あたらしい季節
deai no saki ni matte iru atarashii kisetsu

Even if it was just a bud until yesterday, it’s about to burst into bloom
昨日までツボミでも 咲き誇ってこぼれそうだ
kinō made tsubomi demo sakihokotte koboresō da
Is the fragrance singing of spring? For some reason, it makes me want to cry
香りは春を歌ってる? なぜか泣けてくる
kaori wa haru wo utatteru? naze ka naketekuru

Soft, soft, soft flowers longing to see the sky
淡い 淡い 淡い花が空を見たがったら
awai awai awai hana ga sora wo mitagattara
Let’s travel far away, let’s try to fly
旅しよう遠くへ 飛んでみよう
tabi shiyō tōku e tonde miyō

My passionate heart won’t stop
まだ熱きココロがとまらない
mada atsuki kokoro ga tomaranai
Not knowing that someday it will turn into a memory
いつか思い出に変わるってことが わかんないままで
itsuka omoide ni kawaru tte koto ga wakannai mama de
Oh cherry blossoms, oh Sakura! Don’t you want to bloom forever?
ああ桜、サクラよ! 永遠に咲きたかろう?
ā sakura, sakura yo! eien ni sakitakarou?
Why does the present have to pass by?
なんでイマは過ぎてくんだろう
nande ima wa sugitekundarou

In full bloom, I close my eyes wishing it would last forever
満開よ ずっと続けと願いながら目を閉じる
mankai yo zutto tsuzuketo negainagara me wo tojiru
The fragrance will someday be an illusion, but I won’t forget
香りはいつか幻 でもね忘れない
kaori wa itsuka maboroshi demo ne wasurenai

I want to deliver the words I love, love, love, love
好き 好き 好き 好きな言葉届けよう
suki suki suki suki na kotoba todokeyō
I want to meet you with a joyful heart
楽しい気持ちで 会いたいんだよ
tanoshii kimochi de aitainda yo

If only the strength of my feelings can get through
ただ想いの強さ伝われば
tada omoi no tsuyosa tsutawareba
Even when it turns into a memory someday, it won’t feel lonely
いつか思い出に変わったときも さみしくないね
itsuka omoide ni kawatta toki mo samishikunai ne
Oh cherry blossoms, oh Sakura! Before the present passes by, even more
ああ桜、サクラよ! イマが通り過ぎるまえにもっと
ā sakura, sakura yo! ima ga tōrisugiru mae ni motto

Just a fleeting moment of overlapping time is precious
ほんの一瞬かさなった時間が愛しい
honno isshun kasanatta jikan ga itoshii
It feels like I can grasp it, but I can’t, only the fragrance remains in my heart
つかめそうで つかめなくて 胸には香りだけが残るのかな
tsukamesō de tsukamenakute mune ni wa kaori dake ga nokoru no kana
Just the nostalgic scent remains
なつかしい香りだけが
natsukashii kaori dake ga

But if the strength of my feelings can get through
でも想いの強さ伝われば
demo omoi no tsuyosa tsutawareba
Even if it turns into a memory, it’ll surely be joyful!
思い出に変わっても 楽しいよきっと!
omoide ni kawattemo tanoshii yo kitto!

My passionate heart won’t stop
まだ熱きココロがとまらない
mada atsuki kokoro ga tomaranai
Not knowing that someday it will turn into a memory
いつか思い出に変わるってことが わかんないままで
itsuka omoide ni kawaru tte koto ga wakannai mama de
Oh cherry blossoms, oh Sakura! Don’t you want to bloom forever?
