On the Day of Departure
In the April classroom where cherry blossoms dance, my heart beats with excitement
Met eternal friends
Innocently shook hands
That day, we ran around the schoolyard, the shining sweat looked good on our smiling faces
Sometimes we didn't want to be honest
We clashed and even fought
After school, we went to the usual shop, the regular candy store
I haven't forgotten
We pinky promised
The grains of sunlight sparkled on everyone
Before we knew it, time passed, today is graduation day
People eventually leave, but I feel like we'll meet again someday
Don't forget the shining days
The classroom door that won't open anymore, the desks and chairs we can't face
We often played on weekends, sometimes lost in love
Endless chatter, scolded in the morning
I remember the day I cried
The warmth you gave me still lingers
Breathing in my chest
The road of hope starting now, thank you until today
Saying goodbye to the memories of the school building
Opening a new door now, reaching out to distant years
Let's make flowers bloom from buds
Holding back tears overflowing with the farewell song heard in my ear
For the friends who decided to embark on a journey
Fleeting melodies pile up
Before we knew it, time passed, today is graduation day
People eventually leave, but I feel like we'll meet again someday
Don't forget the shining days
The road of hope starting now, thank you until today
Saying goodbye to the memories of the school building
Opening a new door now, reaching out to distant years
Let's make flowers bloom from buds
Let's make flowers bloom from buds
