Lyrics

咲いた咲いた 白い雪のように
saita saita shiroi yuki no you ni

咲かない花もあると 明けない冬もあることを
明日が来ない夜もあるけど 今は
叶うなら 今日が最後の日でもいい

sakanai hana mo aru to akenai fuyu mo aru koto wo
ashita ga konai yoru mo aru kedo ima wa
kanau nara kyou ga saigo no hi demo ii

My heart with the scars don’t raise a cry.
It embrace the pain and weakness.
(届かない)
For what and for who do I live for?
(まだ信じているんでしょ)

(todokanai)
(mada shinjite iru ndesho)

守れそうもない約束でもいい
たったひとつ希望がほしい

mamoresou mo nai yakusoku demo ii
tatta hitotsu kibou ga hoshii

白い花 なにも言わずひとりで咲いてた
誰も知らず枯れていく
あんな痛みあんな想い二度とさせないで
春はまだ 足音も聞こえない
白い雪に紛れて咲く白い花にどうしてあなたが気付くの
ねえ 咲いたよ

shiroi hana nani mo iwazu hitori de saiteta
dare mo shirazu karete iku
anna itami anna omoi nidoto sasenaide
haru wa mada ashioto mo kikoenai
shiroi yuki ni magirete saku shiroi hana ni doushite anata ga kidzuku no
nee saita yo

消せない痕もあると やまない雪もあることを
変わらない思いだってあるけど いつか
足枷になるなら迷わないでいて

kesenai ato mo aru to yamanai yuki mo aru koto wo
kawaranai omoi datte aru kedo itsuka
ashikase ni naru nara mayowanaide ite

My heart with the scars don’t raise a cry.
It embrace the pain and weakness.
(期待ばっかり)
For what and for who do I bloom for?
(またただ待つだけなの?)

(kitai bakkari)
(mata tada matsu dake na no?)

出鱈目の優しい言い訳でもいい
信じられる理由がほしい

detarame no yasashii iiwake demo ii
shinjirareru riyuu ga hoshii

白い花 なにも言わずひとりで咲いてた
誰も知らず枯れていく
いつまでもいつまでも夢ばかり見てた
冬はまだ 終わりも見えないまま
白い雪に紛れて咲く白い花がどうしてあなたに会えるの

shiroi hana nani mo iwazu hitori de saiteta
dare mo shirazu karete yuku
itsumademo itsumademo yume bakari miteta
fuyu wa mada owari mo mienai mama
shiroi yuki ni magirete saku shiroi hana ga doushite anata ni aeru no

叶いそうもない約束でもいい
たったひとつ希望がほしい

kanaisou mo nai yakusoku demo ii
tatta hitotsu kibou ga hoshii

白い花 なにも言わずひとりで咲いてた
誰も知らず枯れていく
何度でも何度でも咲くことができたら
いつかまた 会えるような気がするよ
白い雪に紛れて咲く白い花をいつしかあなたが見つけて

shiroi hana nani mo iwazu hitori de saiteta
dare mo shirazu karete yuku
nandodemo nandodemo saku koto ga dekitara
itsuka mata aeru you na ki ga suru yo
shiroi yuki ni magirete saku shiroi hana wo itsushika anata ga mitsukete

Translation

They bloomed, they bloomed, like white snow

There are flowers that won’t bloom, there are winters that won’t end
There are nights when tomorrow never comes, but for now
If I could, I wouldn’t mind if today was the last day

My heart with the scars don’t raise a cry
It embrace the pain and weakness.
(They won’t reach)
For what and for who do I live for?
(You still believe in me, don’t you?)

I don’t care if it’s a promise I can’t keep
I just need one single hope

A white flower, blooming alone silently
Withering away without anyone knowing
Don’t make me go through that pain and that feeling again
Spring has yet to hear your footsteps
How could you notice the white flower that blooms amongst the white snow
Hey, they bloomed

Some scars can’t be erased, some snowfalls never stop
Some thoughts won’t change, but someday
If it’s going to be a stumbling block, don’t let it get in the way

My heart with the scars don’t raise a cry
It embrace the pain and weakness.
(All you do is hope)
For what and for who do I bloom for?
(Are you just going to wait and wait again?)

I don’t care if it’s a rubbish, gentle excuse
I just need a reason to believe

A white flower, blooming alone silently
Withering away without anyone knowing
Forever and ever I dreamed of it
Winter still has no end in sight
How can the white flower that blooms amongst the white snow meet you?

I don’t care if it’s an unfulfilled promise
I just need one single hope

A white flower, blooming alone silently
Withering away without anyone knowing
If it could bloom again and again and again
I feel like I’ll see you again someday
Someday you will find the white flower that blooms amongst the white snow
