*Cherry blossoms drifted and fluttered in the air As I took hold of my wavering emotions The dream we longed for that spring I can see it even now The cherry blossoms fall

I saw something in my past from the train That was the bridge we used to cross in spring After graduation you left our hometown I search for those days on the cherry riverbank

Spring came to an end and we went our separate ways I’m eager to see what my blooming future holds I can see this year’s cherry blossoms outside my window on the Odakyu line I can hear your voice calling in my heart

(Repeat*)

I started a letter with the words, “I’m doing fine” But you’ll see through that little lie Time goes by and this town sees spring too That flower will also bud this year

Each day I make it through without you I grow up little by little Is this how I’ll eventually forget everything? “I truly loved you” I reach out to the cherry blossoms And now this love belongs to spring

Cherry blossoms drifted and fluttered in the air As I embraced my wavering emotions The steadfast words you said to me I can hear them echo in my heart The cherry blossoms flutter

Cherry blossoms drifted and fluttered in the air As I took hold of my wavering emotions Those distant spring days when I dreamt Are vanishing in the sky

Cherry blossoms drifted and fluttered in the air I walk toward whatever awaits me after spring I made a promise with you that spring So I’ll keep this dream close to my heart The cherry blossoms fall
