Flower Flag
Requested by: GoldenArcher96, plus I’d been wanting to do this for a while.
I love FELT.
Notes:
The roles here are played by: 幽々子 and 幽々子 and Cherry Blossoms/Ayakashi as a metaphorical extention of 幽々子. I love songs like this to death, but making them make sense in English is always a challenge >.> – Also, almost every single ambiguous phrase link in the translation is either just as ambiguous or more ambiguous in the original lyrics. I only tried to add a little suggestion this way or that way for sanity, but since they’re all attributed to Yuyuko ANYWAY, it’s all good.

春の訪れを待つ 彼女の瞳に
舞い落ちてきた桜の花
手のひらくぐり抜け 流れる風を追って
消えてく 空を越えて
haru no otozure wo matsu kanojo no hitomi ni
maiochitekita sakura no hana
te no hira kugurinuke nagareru kaze wo otte
kieteku sora wo koete
Waiting for the coming of spring, in her eyes
Cherry blossoms were dancing as they fell
Slipping through her hands and chasing after the wind
Disappearing across the sky
未来を失うこと この木に深く刻んで
開花を始めて 世界を春に変え 絶命の時を待つ
mirai wo ushinau koto kono ki ni fukaku kizande
kaika wo hajimete sekai wo haru ni kae zetsumei no toki wo matsu
Her loss of her future is carved deep within this tree
Setting it aflower, turning the world to spring as she waited for death
開かれる花ビラ 舞う風のように強く
失って 壊れゆく 後悔もすべて忘れて
辿る軌跡 最後に 思い出のかけら見せて
消えてゆく 記憶にまだ 薄く残る幸せをのせて
hirakareru hanabira mau kaze no you ni tsuyoku
ushinatte kowareyuku koukai mo subete wasurete
tadoru kiseki saigo ni omoide no kakera misete
kieteyuku kioku ni mada usuku nokoru shiawase wo nosete
The released flower petals dance strongly as they wind
Knowing her loss, expiring, forgetting even regret
Tracing lines and motions in the end they show fragments of memories
As they disappear portraying a faint happiness left within them
彼女が眠りにつき いくつもの年を越え
咲かなくなった木の下で
突然現れた君が 見つめたその瞳に
映した 春への扉
kanojo ga nemuri ni tsuki ikutsu mo no toshi wo koe
sakanakunatta ki no shita de
totsuzen arawareta kimi ga mitsumeta sono hitomi ni
utsushita haru e no tobira
She laid to rest and many years passed her by
Under this tree that no longer would blossom
When you suddenly appeared, in those eyes
Shone a gate leading unto spring
強い眼差しの奥に 閉ざされた君を思い
一つ一つただ大切に 拾い集め 君に春を届けに
tsuyoi manazashi no oku ni tozasareta kimi wo omoi
hitotsu hitotsu tada taisetsu ni hiroiatsume kimi ni haru wo todoke ni
In that strong gaze, I think of you locked away
Carefully gathering fragments one by one to bring spring to you
失った記憶は 心奪われる瞬間に
涌き上がり 魅せられた 時に零れ落ちてく涙
春を集め君を 救うと誓った日から
運命を取り戻した いつまでも眠る 君を呼んでる
ushinatta kioku wa kokoro ubawareru shunkan ni
wakiagari miserareta toki ni koboreochiteku namida
haru wo atsume kimi wo sukuu to chikatta hi kara
unmei wo torimodoshita itsu made mo nemuru kimi wo yondeiru
Those lost memories in that moment my heart was swept away
Boiled up inside of me and in that moment I was entranced, overflowing with tears
Ever since that day I swore I would save you I gathered spring
I took back fate, calling you in your eternal sleep
咲き乱れ始めた空 桜は蝶のように舞ってる
涙零れ落ちて 震えも止められないの
大きく叫んだ瞬間 微かに感じた
君はすぐにまた消えた
sakimidarehajimeta sora sakura wa chou no you ni matteiru
namida koboreochite furuemo tomerarenai no
ookiku sakenda shunkan kasuka ni kanjita
kimi wa sugu ni mata kieta
Now the sky has started to blossom in profusion, cherry blossom dancing like butterflies
I cannot stop these tears from overflowing, or myself from trembling
That instant I cried out I felt faintly… something – and then
You disappeared again right away
開かれる花ビラ 舞う風のように強く
優しく 包まれる 時に零れ落ちてく 笑顔
あの日 君に触れて 感じた気持ちのまま
永遠に出会う事なく 満開で咲く 君を待っている
hirakareru hanabira mau kaze no you ni tsuyoku
yasashiku tsutsumareru toki ni koboreochiteku egao
ano hi kimi ni furete kanjita kimochi no mama
eien ni deau koto naku mankai de saku kimi wo matteiru
The released flower petals dance strongly as they wind
And as I am gently embraced I overflow with smiles
The feeling I felt that day when I touched you will never go away
Though I will never see you, I wait for you in full bloom
