桜の花びらたち (Sakura no Hanabiratachi)

[AKB48「桜の花びらたち」歌詞]

[Verse 1]
教室の窓辺には うららかな陽だまり
あと僅かの春のカレンダー
授業中 見渡せば 同じ制服着た
仲間たちが 大人に見える

[Pre-Chorus]
それぞれの未来へと
旅立って行くんだね
その背中に 夢の翼が 生えてる

[Chorus]
桜の花びらたちが咲く頃
どこかで 希望の鐘が鳴り響く
私たちに明日の自由と
勇気をくれるわ
桜の花びらたちが咲く頃
どこかで 誰かがきっと祈ってる
新しい世界のドアを
自分のその手で開くこと

[Verse 2]
喧嘩して 電話して 泣いたこと あったね
悩んだ日が なぜか懐かしい
喜びも悲しみも 振り向けば 道のり
どんな時も 一人じゃなかった

[Pre-Chorus]
卒業写真の中
私は微笑んで
過ぎる季節 見送りたい サヨナラ

[Chorus]
涙の花びらたちがはらはら
この頬を流れ落ちて歩き出す
青い空を見上げ 大きく
深呼吸しながら
涙の花びらたちがはらはら
思い出のその分だけ 美しく
目の前の大人の階段
一緒に登って手を振ろう

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
桜の花びらたちが咲く頃
どこかで 希望の鐘が鳴り響く
私たちに明日の自由と
勇気をくれるわ
桜の花びらたちが咲く頃
どこかで 誰かがきっと祈ってる
新しい世界のドアを
自分のその手で開くこと

[Chorus]
涙の花びらたちがはらはら
この頬を流れ落ちて歩き出す
青い空を見上げ 大きく
深呼吸しながら
涙の花びらたちがはらはら
思い出のその分だけ 美しく
目の前の大人の階段
一緒に登って手を振ろう

Near the classroom window
Is a carefree, sunny spot
Very little time is left on the spring calendar

During class, if I look around
Though wearing the same school uniform
All of my classmates
Look like adults

With each person’s own future
We start our trip
On each of our backs
Sprout wings
Of our dreams

Each time the cherry blossom petals bloom
Somewhere hope’s bell resounds
With the freedom of tomorrow
We’re given courage
Each time the cherry blossom petals bloom
Somewhere somеone is praying
The door to a new world
Wе open with our own hands

There were times when we fought
Called each other, and cried
Why do those troubled days
Feel so nostalgic?

During the happy or sad times
If we turned back in the distance
No matter when
We were never alone

In the middle of our graduation picture
I smile
The passing season wants to send us off
Good-bye

The petals of these tears go pitter-patter
On these cheeks they come out, flow, and fall
As we look up to the blue sky
And breathe in deeply
The petals of these tears go pitter-patter
Memories of that part make me happy
The stairs to adulthood before our eyes
Together we climb and wave our hands

Each time the cherry blossom petals bloom
Somewhere hope’s bell resounds
With the freedom of tomorrow
We are given courage
Each time the cherry blossom petals bloom
Somewhere someone is praying
The door to a new world
We open with our own hands

The petals of our tears go pitter-patter
Onto these cheeks they come out, flow, and fall
As we look up to the blue sky
And breathe in deeply
The petals of our tears go pitter-patter
The memory of that part makes me happy
The stairs to adulthood before our eyes
Together we climb and wave our hands

In the classroom next to the window
The sun shines
Like a calendar with only a little of spring left

In class, if I look
My friends who
Wore the same uniform
Look like adults

We're all going
Towards our own futures
On our backs
The wings of our dreams
Are growing

When the sakura petals bloom
You can hear the bells of wishes everywhere
They give us freedom
And courage for tomorrow
When the sakura petals bloom
All over the world, everyone prays
To be able to open the door
To a new world

There were times when we fought, talked on the phone
And cried
Somehow I miss
Those troubled days

Through happiness and sadness
If I look back on that road
I wasn't alone
At any time

In our graduation photo
I'm smiling
I want to see off
The seasons past
Goodbye

The petals of my tears are floating down
I walk with them running down my face
I take a deep breath
And look up at the blue sky
The petals of my tears are floating down
My memories are beautiful
The stairs to adulthood before my eyes
Let's wave and take them together

When the sakura petals bloom
You can hear the bells of wishes everywhere
They give us freedom
And courage for tomorrow
When the sakura petals bloom
All over the world, everyone prays
To be able to open the door
To a new world

The petals of my tears are floating down
I walk with them running down my face
I take a deep breath
And look up at the blue sky
The petals of my tears are floating down
My memories are beautiful
The stairs to adulthood before my eyes
Let's wave and take them together
