ENGLISH TRANSLATION



====================

Surely we're waiting,



   for the day we can see you again.



   On the street lined with cherry blossom trees



   We'll wave our hands and yell out. 

 Whenever we suffer or start to lose heart



   We feel we can hang in there 



   because you're smiling. 



   We can hear the song from back then



   from in those hazy scenes. 

 cherry blossoms



   now in full bloom



   scattered fleetingly



   I know it's fate, 



   farewell my friend. 



   when it's time to leave on your journey,



   with that unchanging feeling. 



   now.. 

 I wonder if now we can say those words without pretense.



   Words from the heart,



   Words to hope for your bright future.



   It's as if the bussling city is rushing us. 

 cherry blossoms



   just floating to the ground



   believing one day they'll be reborn



   Don't cry my friend, It's a shame but it's time to go



   with that unadorned smile... 



   ahh

 cherry blossoms



   now flying in the air



   eternally rustling 



   awash in light



   farewell my friend



   let's meet again here. 



on the street scattered with cherry blossoms.
