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
