translation the cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down embracing every bit of my fluttering love even now, i’m dreaming the dream i prayed for with you that spring the cherry blossoms scatter from the train i could see the traces of one day the big bridge we crossed together graduation time came and you left town on the colourful riverbank, i search for that day we went our separate ways and brought our spring to an end my future is in full bloom but it fills me with panic this year, once again, the cherry blossoms are reflected in the window of the odakyuu train in my heart i hear your voice the cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down embracing every bit of my fluttering love even now, i’m dreaming the dream i prayed for with you that spring the cherry blossoms scatter the start of my letter to you says “i’m doing ok” you’ll see through that little lie, won’t you?

even the town going past is taking in the spring the flowers are opening their buds again this year i’ll get through these days without you and i, too, will grow up will i forget everything? “i really loved you” i hold out my hands to the cherry blossoms now my love is wrapped in the spring the cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down embracing every bit of my fluttering love even now, the strong words you gave me remain in my heart; the cherry blossoms dance the cherry blossoms fell, fluttering down embracing every bit of my fluttering love those days i dreamed of on that distant spring day disappear into the sky the cherry blossoms fall, fluttering down and i walk out into the spring i clutch the dream i promised you that spring tightly to my chest; the cherry blossoms dance
