ゆらゆら舞う この暖かい日は あなたと出逢った日のように
ゆらゆら… 思い出を届ける
きっときっと来年もその先も ここで待ち合わせしてるわ
きっときっと… あたしを届ける

小さな体で ギリギリまで背伸びして
あなたのほほに 優しくKISSをする

どれほど 愛しいと思ったんだろう
涙が出るくらい 大切に想いつづけてる
どれほど また逢えると思ったんだろう
桃ノ花ビラ 手のひらから こぼれるたび あなたを感じるの

ゆらゆら舞う 青い空うめつくすほど 桜色でいっぱい
ゆらゆら… 早く逢いたいよ
ずっとずっと来年もその先も ここで待ちぼうけしてるわ
ずっとずっと… あなたに逢いたい

ぎゅっと抱きしめて「小さいな、お前」って
あなたが大きいんでしょ? もうちょっとこのまま…。

どれほど 愛してると思ったんだろう
涙がでるくらい 本当はそばにいたいの
どれほど 大人になりたいと思ったんだろう
桃ノ花ビラ あなたがくれるたび 胸がキュンとなるよ

今そばにいるコトが 嬉しいから
今ここにいる時間を 大切にしたいから
手を離す時も笑顔だよ
精一杯の笑顔でいるよ

どれほど 愛しいと思ったんだろう
涙が出るくらい 大切に想いつづけてる
どれほど また逢えると思ったんだろう
桃ノ花ビラ 手のひらから こぼれるたび あなたを感じるの

Translation

 

Spinning around on this warm day, just like the day I met you
Round and round... Sending out my memories
Definitely, definitely, next year and beyond we'll meet here
Definitely... I'll reach you

Stretching as high as I can on my tiptoes with my short body
I give you a gentle kiss on the cheek

It seems I was thinking of just how beloved (you) are
Continuing to think of these memories so long that I start to cry
It seems I was thinking of just when I can see you again
Every time these peach petals fall from my hand, I feel you

Spinning around, so much pink fills up the blue sky *
Round and round... I want to see you soon!
Always, always, next year and beyond we'll meet here
Always... I want to see you

Holding me tightly, 'You're so small'
And you're so big? Let's stay like this a little longer...

It seems I was thinking of just how much I love you
The truth is I want to be by your side so much it makes me cry
It seems I was thinking of just how I want to grow up
Every time you give me a peach petal, my chest tightens

I'm so happy that I'm by your side
I want to make the time your with me important
And even when I let go of your hand, I'm smiling
I'm smiling with all my might!

It seems I was thinking of just how beloved (you) are
Continuing to think of these memories so long that I start to cry
It seems I was thinking of just when I can see you again
Every time these peach petals fall from my hand, I feel you

   

* pink = sakura iro, implying flower petals
