Gentle breeze of spring
is blowing from somewhere
On the street that we used to walk,
the colour is starting to change
Happiness and sadness are
passing away with the season
We're starting to walk
on a new path
This cherry blossom petal is a
bookmark of parting
It brings back my friends' expression
when they waved their hands
This cherry blossom petal is a
bookmark of tears
So those important moments
won't ever be forgotten...
When I look up to the sky
within such wideness
I'm starting to grasp the length of
this never ending path
Be it sunny day or rainy day,
tomorrow will surely come
So with a smile,
I'm taking one step forward
This cherry blossom petal is a
bookmark of future
To make me remember
the dream I've been longing for
This cherry blossom petal is a
bookmark of hope
Rather than marking the end,
this page is the starting point
This cherry blossom petal is a
bookmark of heart
Where sunlight through the trees
in our sparkling youth looked so dazzling<
This cherry blossom petal is a
bookmark of that day
So each and everyone will not forget
their dreams until it's blooming fully

春のそよ風が
どこからか吹き
通い慣れた道
彩りを着替える
喜びも悲しみも
過ぎ去った季節
新しい道
歩き始める
桜の花は
別れの栞
ひらひらと手を振った
友の顔が浮かぶ
桜の花は
涙の栞
大切なこの瞬間(とき)を
いつまでも忘れぬように…
空を見上げれば
その大きさに
果てしなく続く
道の長さを知った
晴れの日も雨の日も
明日は来るから
微笑みながら
一歩　踏み出す
桜の花は
未来の栞
いつか見たその夢を
思い出せるように…
桜の花は
希望の栞
あきらめてしまうより
このページ　開いてみよう
桜の花は
心の栞
輝いた青春の
木漏れ日が眩しい
桜の花は
あの日の栞
人はみな　満開に
咲いた夢　忘れはしない
