English


Somewhere the cherry blossom petals
Dance lightly in the wind
As someone flaps their wings
And heads out on their own

To be able to have met you
is the meaning of the passing seasons
That smile of yours was so brilliant
We can’t go on together,
but still don’t cry
I won’t forget you

Let’s meet again 10 years from now
I’ll be waiting here
Shining brighter than I do right now...
The graduation process is a renewal of our vow
Even after this love’s burnt out,
you’ll still be dear to me

Because I love you
More than anyone else I’ve met up until now,
I want to be able to protect
Those precious dreams of yours

Even if the hurt keeps coming
and things don’t go so smoothly
As the number of passing springs add up,
I can become lonely,
but if I believe in the future,
I can keep going

Let’s meet again 10 years from now
Around the time these cherry blossoms bloom
No matter what I’ll come here
Graduation is the start of an eternal journey
Even if things grow painfully dark, you’re waving your hand to me

No matter how many times
the cherry blossoms bloom,
I won’t forget
today’s setting sun

Let’s meet again 10 years from now
I’ll be waiting here
Shining brighter than I do right now...
The graduation process is a renewal of our vow
Even after this love’s burnt out,
you’ll still be dear to me

Somewhere the cherry blossom petals
Dance lightly in the wind
As someone flaps their wings
And heads out on their own
I want to be able to protect you even more

Let’s meet again 10 years later
