Kanji

 

冬のない 春はない 
冬のない 花はない
いつか咲く 花を思い 
今はただ 根を伸ばせ
ああ、時が満ちて 
花は咲く 晴れた日に

土のなか 夢は眠る 
夢のなか 花は育つ
朝に咲く 花を思い 
今はただ 根を伸ばせ
ああ、冬を越えて 
花は咲く 春の日に

ああ、冬を越えて 
花は咲く 春の日に
咲き誇る 花を見れば 
土の下の 根を思え
凍てついた 冬を生きた 
土の下の 根を思え

咲き誇る 花を見れば 
土の下の 根を思え
凍てついた 冬を生きた 
土の下の 根を思え

Translation

 

There's no spring without winter
There's no flower without winter
I think about the flowers that will bloom one day
Now I can merely reach out my roots
Ah, towards a clear day
when the days become longer and the flowers bloom

In the soil my dreams are sleeping
In my dreams flowers are growing
I think about blooming flowers in the morning
Now I can merely reach out my roots
Ah, towards a spring day
when winter will be overcome and flowers bloom

Ah, towards a spring day
when winter will be overcome and flowers bloom
When I look at the flowers in full bloom
I think about my roots beneath the soil
I think about my roots beneath the soil
that survived (through) the freezing winter

When I look at the flowers in full bloom
I think about my roots beneath the soil
I think about my roots beneath the soil
that survived (through) the freezing winter
