In the classroom next to the window
the sun shines
like a calendar with only a little of spring left
In class, if I look,
my friends who
wore the same uniform
look like adults
We're all going
towards our own futures
On our backs
the wings of our dreams
are growing
When the sakura petals bloom
You can hear the bells of wishes everywhere
They give us freedom
and courage for tomorrow
When the sakura petals bloom
All over the world, everyone prays
to be able to open the door
to a new world
There were times when we fought, talked on the phone
and cried
Somehow I miss
those troubled days
Through happiness and sadness
If I look back on that road
I wasn't alone
at any time
In our graduation photo
I'm smiling
I want to see off
the seasons past
Goodbye
The petals of my tears are floating down
I walk with them running down my face
I take a deep breath
and look up at the blue sky
The petals of my tears are floating down
My memories are beautiful
The stairs to adulthood before my eyes
let's wave and take them together
When the sakura petals bloom
You can hear the bells of wishes everywhere
They give us freedom
and courage for tomorrow
When the sakura petals bloom
All over the world, everyone prays
to be able to open the door
to a new world
The petals of my tears are floating down
I walk with them running down my face
I take a deep breath
and look up at the blue sky
The petals of my tears are floating down
My memories are beautiful
The stairs to adulthood before my eyes
let's wave and take them together

教室の窓辺には
うららかな陽だまり
あと僅かの春のカレンダー
授業中　見渡せば
同じ制服着た
仲間たちが
大人に見える
それぞれの未来へと
旅立って行くんだね
その背中に
夢の翼(はね)が
生えてる
桜の花びらたちが咲く頃
どこかで　希望の鐘が鳴り響く
私たちに明日(あす)の自由と
勇気をくれるわ
桜の花びらたちが咲く頃
どこかで　誰かがきっと祈ってる
新しい世界のドアを
自分のその手で開くこと
喧嘩して　電話して
泣いたこと　あったね
悩んだ日が
なぜか　懐かしい
喜びも悲しみも
振り向けば　道のり
どんな時も
一人じゃなかった
卒業写真の中
私は微笑んで
過ぎる季節
見送りたい
サヨナラ
涙の花びらたちがはらはら
この頬(ほほ)を流れ落ちて歩き出す　
青い空を見上げ　大きく
深呼吸しながら
涙の花びらたちがはらはら
思い出のその分だけ　美しく
目の前の大人の階段
一緒に登って手を振ろう
桜の花びらたちが咲く頃
どこかで　希望の鐘が鳴り響く
私たちに明日(あす)の自由と
勇気をくれるわ
桜の花びらたちが咲く頃
どこかで　誰かがきっと祈ってる
新しい世界のドアを
自分のその手で開くこと
涙の花びらたちがはらはら
この頬(ほほ)を流れ落ちて歩き出す　
青い空を見上げ　大きく
深呼吸しながら
涙の花びらたちがはらはら
思い出のその分だけ　美しく
目の前の大人の階段
一緒に登って手を振ろう
