Lyrics: Iwai Junji
Composition: Kanno Yoko

English Translation by Naomi Suzuki

1.
Can you feel the spring breeze on the white snow-covered road
It brings to mind my old hometown that I'll never see again 
I was always chasing rainbows then, I did want to change myself
I'm just holding on to my faith while I'm longing for my loved one 
I can hear you sing to soothe the soul, I can hear you sing to be at ease
I can see you smile through the sorrow, I can see you smile after weeping 

Flowers will bud and bloom again, for you who will come into the world someday
Flowers will bud and bloom again, have I done any good to stay in your heart 

2.
Beyond the night sky I see the first dawn light in the darkness
It takes me back to the good old days That will never come again 
Sometimes I hurt the one I loved and hurt myself, only to cry
I just hold on, hold on now, longing for my loved one 
I can feel your thoughts, our ties to one another, I can feel your thoughts, coming home to me
I can see the gleam of dawn in your eyes, I believe you're in the dawn you've started life again 

Flowers will bud and bloom again, for you who will come into the world someday
*Flowers will bud and bloom again, have I done any good to stay in your heart 

*Repeat
for you who will be in love with someone someday

歌詞

真っ白な　雪道に　春風香る
わたしは　なつかしい
あの街を　思い出す

叶えたい　夢もあった
変わりたい　自分もいた
今はただ　なつかしい
あの人を　思い出す

誰かの歌が聞こえる
誰かを励ましてる
誰かの笑顔が見える
悲しみの向こう側に

花は　花は　花は咲く
いつか生まれる君に
花は　花は　花は咲く
わたしは何を残しただろう

夜空の　向こうの　朝の気配に
わたしは　なつかしい
あの日々を　思い出す

傷ついて　傷つけて
報われず　泣いたりして
今はただ　愛おしい
あの人を　思い出す

誰かの想いが見える
誰かと結ばれてる
誰かの未来が見える
悲しみの向こう側に

*花は　花は　花は咲く
いつか生まれる君に
花は　花は　花は咲く
わたしは何を残しただろう

*リフレイン

いつか恋する君のために
