恋桜
Koizakura
Cherry Blossom Romance

道に暮れかかる春色
今宵は月さへ薄紅
あなたの文より現世の匂いを知る

michi ni kure kakaru haruiro
koyoi wa tsuki sae usubeni
anata no fumi yori utsuyo no nioi wo shiru

Spring will soon alight
The moon tonight blushes ne'er alone
Your letter speaks of the awe of a transient world

ひそやかに心揺れる
今来むと君に逢ふ　今宵君に逢ふ

hisoyaka ni kokoro yureru
ima komu to kimi ni au koyoi kimi ni au

In my heart, a solemn shiver holds
I come, now, to you, tonight I come to you

恋の桜は舞い落ちて
届かぬ思いはあふれ出す
わたしは一人起きもせず
はだけ衣に露月映す

koi no sakura wa maiochite
todokanu omoi wa afuredasu
watashi wa hitori oki mo sezu
hadake koromo ni tsuyu tsuki utsusu

The flowers that fall, we call that romance
And quelled emotions become too much to bear
Alone, I have no cause to be awake
A dew off a sheer dress, reflected in the moon

おろかなことと知りつつも
生まれる早苗は盲目
罪なき春風　どうか届けたまへ

oroka na koto to shiri tsutsumo
umareru sanae wa moumoku
tsumi naki harukaze douka todoketa mae

If those of fools do not deny it
Need they be born blind?
I pray for untarnished winds to brush your cheek

悲しみは　空の涙
待つ人の人ごころ永久の人ごころ

kanashimi wa sora no namida
matsu hito no hitogokoro towa no hitogokoro

The tears of the sky leave me saddened
Lasting kindess lies in the hearts of those who wait

愛し恋しやあなたへと
一夜に一夜に想い積む
わたしは一人うたたねに
夢で逢えると　喜び涙

itoshi koishi ya anata e to
hitoyo ni hitoyo ni omoitsumu
watashi wa hitori utatane ni
yume de aeru to yorokobi namida

For you, I yearn and love
And tonight, and tonight, the emotions will amass
Alone, the lull of sleep will take me
A happy tear, from a dream where you hold me in your arms

叶わぬ恋と知りでなほ
あなたをあなたを思へども
わたしは一人起きもせず
月と桜も涙でにじむ

kanawanu koi to shiri de naho
anata wo anata wo omoe domo
watashi wa hitori oki mo sezu
tsuki to sakura mo namida de nijimu

I know this love shall not remain
Yet I still, and yet I still think of you so
Alone, I have no cause to be awake
The moon and the flowers fade into my tears

逢いたい

aitai

I want to be with you
