MIKA NAKASHIMA - sakurairo mau koro


Nakashima Mika - Sakurairo Mau Koro

When the Color of Cherry Blossoms Fills the Air
composed by Kawae Minako


ENGLISH

when the color of cherry blossoms fills the air
I'm alone,
standing dumb, unable to contain what I feel in my heart

when the color of the new leaves sprouts
the feelings come pouring out,
I lost track of everything,
and drifted towards you

Only the changing trees saw us.
quietly letting us know
that we can't stay in one place

turning the color of dead leaves
next to you
the days passing by
change this to love.

please, at least let these trees
keep my feeling safe
rustle those leaves above us
just once more

soon enough, time will
carry us away
I hold gently to what we have now,
the only thing I can be sure of.

covered over by snow
the feelings stray
the footprints will fade,
a soundless mischief.

please, at least let these trees
keep my feeling safe
freeze us in 'eternity'
let us live on here.

Only the returning trees
saw us.
quietly letting us know
that we can't stay in the one place

when the color of cherry blossoms fills the air
I'm alone
savoring my feelings for you.
