Kanji:

瞼を閉ざしてたら段々と　暗闇には慣れるけれど

同じようにしたって孤独には　いつまでも慣れないみたい

いつだって根拠のない淡い期待　抱いて待ち続けていた

でも目を開ければいつも通り　今日も私一人

花吹雪舞い　漂いはらり　そう幻視したのは残像

抗えど尚　行く道違い　季節はもう変わって　……嗚呼

喧騒は遠く　再び芽吹くことはない

「行動ひとつずつがゆっくりで、何を考えてるか不明」

呆れながら理解してくれた　仲間はもういない

外は暗くて誰も来やしない　もうわかっているはずなのに

あの頃のまま変わらず保ち　いつ戻ってきても

迎えるために　笑えるように　花と共に居続けること

誰も悪くない　何も辛くない　凍りついた華が　……嗚呼

氷解する日を　のんびりとただ待ってる

また日が暮れて　静かな部屋に「おかえり」の練習が響き

答え合わせと間違い探し　今更遅いかな……？

花吹雪舞い　漂いはらり　そう幻視したのは残像

抗えど尚　行く道違い　季節はもう移ろい

外は暗くて誰も来やしない　今日もそう思っていたのに

「ただいま」という声が　喧騒引き連れて扉を開け

止まっていた刻が、動き始めた

English:

Closing my eyes, I can gradually get used to the darkness,

But it seems that doing the same will not get me used to the loneliness

At some point, though without any basis, I began to have faint expectations

And, with those feelings, waited

But when I open my eyes, I’m alone today too

A shower of blossoms, the petals dancing, gently drifting downwards,

What I thought I saw was just a shadow of the past

The more I struggled, the more our paths separated

And even the seasons have changed…

The sounds of liveliness are far away, and will not bud again

“Every move he makes is slow, and you can never tell what he’s thinking"

Companions who, though unsure, were willing to understand me, 

are no longer here

It’s dark outside, and no one ever comes by

— even though I knew this would happen already

Still the same as back then, and if they do come back one day

So I can welcome them, so we can laugh together, I will remain here with these flowers

No one’s to blame, nothing hurts – these flowers, frozen over…

I will simply wait patiently until the day the ice begins to melt

Once again, the sky darkens, and in this quiet room, my voice

Practicing the words “Welcome home” echoes

Checking my answers and looking for mistakes

Is it too late for that now, I wonder…?

A shower of blossoms, the petals dancing, gently drifting downwards,

What I thought I saw was just a shadow of the past

The more I struggled, the more our paths separated

And even the seasons are changing

It’s dark outside, and no one ever comes by

— even though I had expected this to happen today too

Voices saying “I’m home" as the door opens, bringing in sounds of liveliness

And the time which had stopped begins to tick again
