Kanji:

空に桜の花びらが　はらりはらりと舞い散って　幾千もの時を眺めて行った
光り輝くこの場所で　いつかまた夢を語ろう　桜の下

夢の続きは君に託そう　太陽みたいな笑顔に
眩しい光に包まれた先に　見つけた友の絆

生まれかわれたとしたなら　来世また君を探そう
語り尽くせぬ想いを伝えよう
君が覚えていなくても　きっと　巡り逢えるだろう　桜の下

未来永劫　続いてゆくだろう　散っては咲き誇る桜
太陽みたいに　笑うあの人を　思い出させてほしい

散り際に燃えた　美しさを　忘れない　忘れない…

夢の続きは君に託そう　太陽みたいな笑顔に
眩しい光に包まれた先に　見つけた友の絆 


English:

The cherry blossom petals gently fall and dance, 

I've gone to gaze at them thousands of times,

Let's talk about our dreams again one day, 

in this place where the light shines, under the cherry blossoms.

I'll leave the rest of the dream to you, to your smile that's like the sun,

I found the bonds of friendship where I was wrapped in dazzling light.

If I was reborn, I would look for you again in my next life,

I'd tell you my feelings, a topic that can never be exhausted,

Even if you didn't remember me, I'm sure we'd meet again, 

under the cherry blossoms.

Eternity will continue on, the cherry blossoms will scatter and bloom,

I want to make the person with the smile like the sun remember.

I won't forget the beauty that rages when they scatter, no, I won't forget...

I'll leave the rest of the dream to you, to your smile that's like the sun,

I found the bonds of friendship where I was wrapped in dazzling light.
