ROMAJI

Lyrics & Music: Angela Aki

Kawazoi ni saiteta
Sakura namiki wo
Tomo ni ikite yuku to
Futari de aruita
Sekai ni nomikomare
Hakidasarete mo
Tada soba ni itakute
Motto motto motto

Jikan no nagare to ai no hazama ni ochite
Anata wo ushinatta

Koishikute me wo tojireba
Ano goro no futari ga iru
Sakura-iro no anata wo wasure nai
Zutto zutto zutto

Anata kara hanarete
Jibun wo shitta
Yume ni chikadukitakute
Motto motto motto

Hitei no kotoba ni oshitsubusarete mo
Hai agari tatakai tsuduketa

Kurushikute me wo tojireba
Ano goro no jibun ga iru
Sakura-iro no watashi wo wasure nai
Zutto zutto zutto

Furusato kokoro no naka de ima demo
Yasashiku hibiku yo
Sonna uta ga kikoeru

Koishikute me wo tojireba
Ano goro no futari ga iru
Sakura-iro no anata no koto wo
Sakura-iro no watashi no koto wo
Sakura-iro no jidai wo wasure nai
Zutto zutto zutto
Zutto zutto zutto

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Lyrics: Angela Aki Translation: Jonathan Wu

Along the river a row of
cherryblossom trees are blossoming
The two of us, living together,
walking this path together
And though this world may swallow me up
and spit me
I simply want to be by your side
Forever and ever

But alas, we were caught in the flow of time
and the loop of love, and one day you passed away

Oh my beloved, if I close my eyes
I can see the two of us, way back then
Oh the sight of you, colored by the cherryblossom
is something I will never, ever, forget

After parting with you
I started to understand myself
and my dreams got closer,
and closer within reach

Tough negative words crushed me at times
once the dust would settle, I’d continue the fight

Oh the pain! If I close my eyes
I can see how I was back then
But the image of myself, colored by the cherryblossom
is something I will never, ever, forget

Even now my home is gently
echoing throughout my heart
I can hear that song right now…

Oh my beloved, if I close my eyes
I can see the two of us, way back then
the sight of you, colored by the cherryblossom
the image of myself, colored by the cherryblossom
oh that time, of the cherryblossom color
I will never, ever, never
ever, forget
