Cherry Blossom Song
We'll meet again tomorrow,
I smiled, my heart like cherry blossoms.
As the flower mist rises, colors beckon, when I arrive,
The shadows of flowers sway at the water's gate and fall.
Like flowers opening to share warmth,
The ordinary path of blooming and scattering,
Where has it all fallen?
The clock ticks, frozen in full bloom, my heart in cherry rain.
A sudden storm of petals, when I stop and open my eyes,
The flower raft drifts away on the water's surface.
Like flowers opening, pushing against the departing spring,
Living simply, walking together,
If only that could come true, oh.
If the north wind and the sun shower equally,
Then hope blooms beyond the storm.
Before I knew it, I was left alone on a withering branch,
Fallen, decaying, the wounds drying up,
To welcome the coming winter, for the flowers that open,
Until the day I can pour my ordinary life,
I’ll keep blooming wildly.
