※Within the falling, dancing sakura, forgotten memories and
The sound of your voice come back to me.
The unceasing spring wind blows as it did then,
Bringing back the faint fragrance
Of your hair floating in the breeze
Like the promise the two of us made then.
HYURURI-RA HYURURI-RA...

Sakura scatters, I remember, without meaning.
A light goes out, once again that time comes to mind.
Unchanging fragrance, scene, wind.
The only difference is that you are not with me.
As I stand here, a welling of memories, revived, retread.
Long hair fluttering in the spring breeze, another strident hallucination.
We talked all night night beneath the sakura tree.
Memories: my shining proof.
When the sakura fell, we met, we parted.
Even so, like this, here again unchanging,
This blooming sprout, your hand drawing away,
Before I knew it you had left me, turned away from me.
In the season of the dancing sakura I regain
That time again, and recall you to my mind.

Sakura petals dance and fall, and memories come back to me.
Sakura petals dance and fall, and memories come back to me.

When I realized it was that season again memories of you seduce me.
They pound against the door of my heart, but sakura petals slip through my hands.
I understood for the first time I was young.
I didn't know until I came here
Why in this place alone the fragrant wind blows like destiny
The warm light of the sun overflows; if I close my eyes I return to that day.
Before I knew it your face had disappeared, gone elsewhere.
This scene has not changed since that day
The scattering petals tell of nothing.
Beneath the sakura where your voice resounded now no longer...

※Repeat

Softly on my shoulders the flower petals land
When I hold them in my hand and close my eyes you are by my side.

※Repeat

Sakura petals dance and fall, and memories come back to me...
