Tear my heart
To thousands of pieces
And let it silently flutter about
As cherry blossom petals
If it is tinged with light pink
And if it accumulates into pale ink
Break this body
Tens of thousands of times
Lightly overflowing
As the hail of a spring night
My frozen pain
Bursts and becomes a bruise
Please, by yourself
Please depart
And be erased by the twilight
So that you cannot look back...
Several of my lives
Are giving off smoke
Silently fluttering and soaring
As cherry blossom petals
And until they reach the sky
Please stay close to me
Close the paper umbrella
And please walk with me
Until a petal stops
On the other side of those shoulders...
Please, by yourself
Please depart
While I, at the mercy of the night wind
Call out your name...
Raise the paper umbrella
And please walk with me
Until a single petal
Softly melts into those shoulders...
To thousands of pieces
And let it silently flutter about
As cherry blossom petals
If it is tinged with light pink
And if it accumulates into pale ink
Break this body
Tens of thousands of times
Lightly overflowing
As the hail of a spring night
My frozen pain
Bursts and becomes a bruise
Please, by yourself
Please depart
And be erased by the twilight
So that you cannot look back...
Several of my lives
Are giving off smoke
Silently fluttering and soaring
As cherry blossom petals
And until they reach the sky
Please stay close to me
Close the paper umbrella
And please walk with me
Until a petal stops
On the other side of those shoulders...
Please, by yourself
Please depart
While I, at the mercy of the night wind
Call out your name...
Raise the paper umbrella
And please walk with me
Until a single petal
Softly melts into those shoulders...
