ENGLISH TRANSLATION

====================

Surely we're waiting,

for the day we can see you again.

On the street lined with cherry blossom trees

We'll wave our hands and yell out.

Whenever we suffer or start to lose heart

We feel we can hang in there

because you're smiling.

We can hear the song from back then

from in those hazy scenes.

cherry blossoms

now in full bloom

scattered fleetingly

I know it's fate,

farewell my friend.

when it's time to leave on your journey,

with that unchanging feeling.

now..

I wonder if now we can say those words without pretense.

Words from the heart,

Words to hope for your bright future.

It's as if the bussling city is rushing us.

cherry blossoms

just floating to the ground

believing one day they'll be reborn

Don't cry my friend, It's a shame but it's time to go

with that unadorned smile...

ahh

cherry blossoms

now flying in the air

eternally rustling

awash in light

farewell my friend

let's meet again here.

on the street scattered with cherry blossoms.
