Japanese Romaji
Yorokobi ga mau, haru mo mou namida no hane

Chiriyuki hanabira to nari anata no moto e to

Rase ga naru tabi sora ni iru yo todoritsukeru

Ranashimi yori samishisa yori mamoru beki ma

ima mo ikiru anata

Umarekawatta sakura no shita mata aimashou

Ritto sono toki ni mananaite eien mo chitta yo

Ai shi ai sarete kono inochi ma MEMORY de saite

Yomaku sasenai manasashi mune ni mainichi no negai

Anata ni, anata ni, anata ni

idaitai

English Translation
As joy dances away, spring becomes the wings of my tears.

They turn to fluttering flower petals, meant only for you

As the wind blows, they fly off, drifting towards their secipient

Protecting you, as you live and breathe,

is more important than any sadness or loneliness.

We'll meet once again as the cherry blossoms bloom once again

and when we do, they'll continue swaying and swirling around forever.

I'll protect my Memories of how I loved and was loved

My gaze won't falter, and I'll wish every day from the bottom of my heart

that you, that you, that you

will hold me again
