Japanese (日本語歌詞) 	Romaji (ローマ字)
風に揺らいで　ひらり舞い散る 	kaze ni yuraide hirari maichiru
君の肩ごしに紅一葉 	kimi no katagoshi ni akahitoha
ただ寄り添えば　わかりあえると 	tada yorisoeba wakariaeru to
悲しみは空に消えるだけ 	kanashimi wa sora ni kieru dake
 	
月明かり照らしてた　遠くの笛の音　御神楽太鼓 	tsukiakari terashiteta tooku no fue no ne o-kagura taiko
ありふれた幸せは　思えばこんなに素敵でした 	arifureta shiawase wa omoeba konna ni suteki deshita
 	
いつか話そう　出会えた喜び 	itsuka hanasou deaeta yorokobi
淡い愛しさ　知らずにいた 	awai itoshisa shirazu ni ita
 	
風に揺らいで　ひらり舞い散る 	kaze ni yuraide hirari maichiru
君の肩ごしに紅一葉 	kimi no katagoshi ni akahitoha
ただ寄り添えば　わかりあえると 	tada yorisoeba wakariaeru to
悲しみは空に消えるだけ 	kanashimi wa sora ni kieru dake
 	
穏やかに迫りくる　季節は朧げ　誘いし火影 	odayaka ni semarikuru kisetsu wa oboroge sasoishi hokage
躓いて迷いながら　進んでゆくのも悪くないよ 	tsumazuite mayoinagara susundeyuku no mo warukunai yo
 	
今を漂い　願いよ届けと 	ima wo tadayoi negai yo todoke to
絶えた祈りを　重ねるだけ 	taeta inori wo kasaneru dake
 	
忘れられない　思い出がある 	wasurerarenai omoide ga aru
君の肩ごし　桜紅葉 	kimi no katagoshi sakura momiji
強く儚く　世界を埋めて　この愛を　永久に捧ぐ 	tsuyoku hakanaku sekai wo umete kono ai wo towa ni sasagu
 	
風に揺れて　ひらり舞い散れ 	kaze ni yurete hirari maichire
今宵闇夜を　紅く染めて 	koyoi yamiyo wo akaku somete
ただ寄り添って　抱かれていたい 	tada yorisotte dakareteitai
悲しみが　空に消えるまで 	kanashimi ga sora ni kieru made
|-|Approved English lyrics=
Swaying in the wind, fluttering down
Over your shoulder I see a single red leaf
Just come close and we'll understand each other
Our sadness will disappear into the sky
The moonlight shone down. In the distance, the sound of a flute and festival drums
This commonplace happiness was such a wonderful thing
Let's talk someday about the joy of our meeting
About how we never knew fleeting love
Saying in the wind, fluttering down
Over your shoulder I see a single red leaf
Just come close and we'll understand each other
Our sadness will disappear into the sky
Gently, it draws near. The season shrouded in mist, the beckoning firelight
Venturing out lost and stumbling isn't such a bad way to proceed
May my drifting wishes reach you
Cut-off prayers piling up
There are some memories I can't forget
Over your shoulder, a red sakura leaf
Strong, yet fleeting, they bury the world. I'll offer up this love for eternity
Swaying in the wind, fluttering down
Tonight the dark of night is colored red
I just want to be close and be held in your arms
Until our sadness disappears into the sky
