Kanji

 

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

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

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
いつか恋する君のために

Translation

 

In the spring wind that blows softly
Over the snow-covered road.
I remember that town,
My sweet old town.

I was there chasing my dreams.
I was there trying to change myself
Now I just miss those people,
My dear old friends

I can still hear them singing
They are singing to cheer up someone else.
I can still see them smiling
Somewhere beyond the sorrow and pain

Flowers will bloom, oh yes they will,
For you, who are yet to be born someday
Flowers will bloom, oh yes they will.
What have I left behind for you?

Feeling the morning light beyond the dark night,
I remember those days
Those sweet old days.

I hurt people, I hurt myself
I wept over my lost loves.
Now I just miss those people,
My dear old friends.

I can still see their dreams
I can still feel them close to me.
I can still see their futures
Somewhere beyond the sorrow and pain

Flowers will bloom, oh yes they will,
For you, who are yet to be born someday
Flowers will bloom, oh yes they will.
What have I left behind for you?

Flowers will bloom, oh yes they will,
For you, who are yet to be born someday
Flowers will bloom, oh yes they will.
What have I left behind for you?

Flowers will bloom, oh yes they will,
For you, who are yet to be born someday
Flowers will bloom, oh yes they will,
For you, who are going to love someone someday
