Sarai
Tanimura Shinji
Departure
Without being able to throw away distant dreams, I left my hometown
The gentle sunlight of spring sways at the small station
More than parting, more than sadness, my longing is strong
Loneliness and a departure alone with my back turned
By the window of the moving train
I was silently watching only the passing scenery
The sky of the Sarai, with cherry blossom petals falling like snow
So blue it's sad, my heart trembled
In love, spending sleepless nights in love
I gazed at the stars in the night sky through the glass window of the apartment
If I'm going to dream in this town, I need to be a little stronger
If not, I might lose to the flow of time
On the morning street corner that started to move
I looked up at the sky while being buried in the crowd
To the sky of the Sarai, with cherry blossom petals falling like snow
My heart trembled at the flowing white clouds
The more we separate, the more we grow apart
This feeling opens an old album that can't be forgotten
Wrapped in the days of my young parents
I live while tracing the gentle days
When I close my eyes, the scenery that floats up
Someday, while lost, will return to the hometown of love
To the sky of the Sarai, with cherry blossom petals falling like snow
Until the time when it returns, I won't abandon my dreams
When I close my eyes, the scenery that floats up
Someday, while lost, will return to the hometown of love
To the sky of the Sarai, with cherry blossom petals falling like snow
Someday it will return, it will return, surely it will return
