Original lyrics

桜流し

開いたばかりの花が散るのを

「今年も早いね」と

残念そうに見ていたあなたは

とてもきれいだった

もし今の私を見れたなら

どう思うでしょう

あなたなしで生きてる私を

Everybody finds love

In the end

あなたが守った街のどこかで今日も響く

健やかな産声を聞けたなら

きっと喜ぶでしょう

私たちの続きの足音

Everybody finds love

In the end

もう二度と会えないなんて信じられない

まだ何も伝えていない

開いたばかりの花が散るのを

見ていた木立の遣る瀬無きかな

どんなに怖くたって目を逸らさないよ

全ての終わりに愛があるなら

English

Translation#1#2

Drifting cherry blossoms

Flower petals scattered, though they had just bloomed

Giving them a regretful look, you then said

"They've come around early this year too, haven't they?"

Oh, how lovely you looked that day

If, by some miracle, you were able to see the person I've become

Living on without you by my side

I wonder what you'd think

Everybody finds love

In the end

If you were able to hear the vigorous cries of newborn babies

That still, to this day, resound somewhere in the town you protected

I'm sure you would be delighted

Knowing there'll be someone to carry on for us

Everybody finds love

In the end

I still can't believe that I'll never get to see you again

There's still so much more I'd like to say to you

I wonder if the grove where we saw the freshly-bloomed petals scatter

Still carries with it that sense of hopelessness

As frightening as it may be, I won't look away!

So long as love remains at the end of it all
