蕾(つぼみ)

6:03j-pop Album 5296 2007-11-07

Description

Sometimes even spring sounds sad. When flowers bloom too early and the wind whispers what can no longer be brought back. Everything around is alive, shining, moving forward, but inside something remains motionless - like the shadow of a person who is no longer there.

This song is about bright memories, not loss. There is no despair in it - only quiet gratitude for the warmth that was once given. It smells like rain after a long winter and sounds like the rustle of petals falling on your palm. Everything passes, but tenderness is stubborn. It always finds a way to blossom again.

Lyrics and translation

Original

涙 こぼしても 汗にまみれた笑顔の中じゃ

誰も気付いてはくれない

だから あなたの涙を僕は知らない

絶やす事無く 僕の心に 灯されていた

優しい明かりは あなたがくれた 理由なき愛のあかし

柔らかな日だまりが包む 背中に ポツリ 話しかけながら

いつかこんな日が来る事も

きっと きっと きっと わかってたはずなのに

消えそうに 咲きそうな 蕾が 今年も僕を待ってる

掌じゃ 掴めない 風に踊る花びら

立ち止まる肩にヒラリ

上手に乗せて 笑って見せた あなたを思い出す 一人

ビルの谷間に 埋もれた夢も いつか芽吹いて

花を咲かすだろう 信じた夢は 咲く場所を選ばない

僕等この街に落とされた影法師 みんな 光を探して

重なり合う時の流れも

きっと きっと きっと 追い越せる日が来るさ

風のない 線路道 五月の美空は 青く寂しく

動かない ちぎれ雲 いつまでも浮かべてた

どこにも もう戻れない

僕のようだと ささやく風に キラリ舞い落ちてく 涙

散り際に もう一度 開く花びらは あなたのように

聴こえない 頑張れを 握った両手に 何度もくれた

消えそうに 咲きそうな 蕾が 今年も僕を待ってる

今もまだ 掴めない あなたと描いた夢

立ち止まる 僕のそばで

優しく開く 笑顔のような 蕾を探してる 空に

English translation

Even if I shed tears, my smile is covered in sweat

no one will notice

That's why I don't know your tears

It was lit in my heart without extinguishing.

The gentle light you gave me is proof of love without a reason

The soft sunlight wraps around my back as I talk to you.

A day like this will come someday

Surely, surely, surely, I should have known

The buds that are about to disappear and bloom are waiting for me this year too.

Petals dancing in the wind that I can't grasp with my palms

I flinch at your shoulders as you stop

I'm the only one who remembers you who carried me well and smiled.

The dreams buried in the valley between buildings will someday sprout

The dreams I believed in will bloom, regardless of where they bloom.

We are all shadow practitioners cast into this city, searching for the light.

The flow of time that overlaps

Surely, surely, surely, the day will come when we can overtake you

On a windless railway road, the beautiful May sky is blue and lonely.

The unmoving, torn clouds were floating forever

I can't go back anywhere

If you're like me, the whispering wind will make your tears fall.

The petals that bloom once more at the end of the fall are just like you.

I can't hear you, but I've been told to do my best over and over again in my hands.

The buds that are about to disappear and bloom are waiting for me this year too.

I still can't grasp the dream I drew with you

Stop next to me

I'm looking for a bud that gently opens like a smile in the sky
