Lyrics Moriyama Naotaro - Sakura

Bokura wa kitto matteru kimi to mata aeru hibi wo
Sakura namiki no michi no ue de te o furi sakebu yo
Donna ni kurushii toki mo kimi wa waratte iru kara
Kujike sou ni nari kakete mo ganbareru ki ga shita yo

Kasumi yuku keshiki no naka ni ano hi no uta ga kikoeru

Sakura sakura ima, saki hokoru
Setsuna ni chiri yuku sadamei to shitte
Saraba tomo yo tabidachi no toki kawaranai sono omoi wo ima

Ima nara ieru darou ka itsuwani no nai kotoba
Kagayakeru kimi no mirai wo negau hontou no kotoba

Utsuri yuku machi wa maru de bokura o sekasu you ni

Sakura sakura tada mai ochiru
Itsuka umare kawaru toki o shinji
Naku na tomo yo ima sekibetsu no toki kazaranai ano egao de saa

Sakura sakura iza mai agare
Towa ni sanzameku hikari o abite
Saraba tomo yo mata kono basho de aou
Sakura mai ichiru michi no ue de

Transl.:

We are surely waiting
For the days in which we can see you again
On the streets, lined with cherry blossom trees,
we'll wave and shout
Whenever we feel pain, or it seems as though we'll be crushed
Because you're smiling, we feel that we can hang on

From inside the misty landscape,
we can hear the songs from that day

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms, now they're in full bloom
Scattering in an instant, I know that it's fate
Farwell my friend, when it's time to set off on your journey,
With your unchanging feelings, now...

I wonder, now can we say them?
Those words without fabrications
True words, to hope for your shining future

It's as though the bustling city is hurrying us along

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms, simply falling
Believing that one day they'll be reborn
Don't cry my friend, now is the time to be sad for parting,
With that unadorned smile, well...

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms, fly now
Basking in the light merrily, for all eternity
Farwell my friend, let's meet here again
On the street scattered with cherry blossoms
