Akb48- Sakura no Shiori lyrics and translation

haru no soyo kaze ga dokokaraka fuki
kayoi nareta michi irodori wo kigae ru
yorokobi mo kanashimi mo sugi satta kisetsu
atarashii michi aruki hajime ru

sakura no hana wa wakare no shiori
hirahirato te wo futta tomo no kao ga uka bu
sakura no hana wa namida no shiori
taisetsu na tomo no kioku itsuma demo wasure nuyouni

sora wo miage reba sono ookisa ni
hate shinaku tsuzuku michi no nagasa wo shitta
hare no hi mo ame no hi mo ashita ga kuru kara
te wo furi nagara ippo fumi dasu

sakura no hana wa mirai no shiori
itsuka mita sono yume wo omoidase ruyouni
sakura no hana wa kibou no shiori
akirameteshi mauyori kono peji hirai temiyou

sakura no hana wa kokoro no shiori
kagayai ta seishun no ko more hi ga mabushii
sakura no hana wa ano hi no shiori
hito hamina mankai ni sai ta yume wasure washinai

    Gentle breeze of spring
    is blowing from somewhere
    On the street that we used to walk,
    the colour is starting to change

    Happiness and sadness are
    passing away with the season
    We're starting to walk
    on a new path

    This cherry blossom petal is a
    bookmark of parting
    It brings back my friends' expression
    when they waved their hands
    This cherry blossom petal is a
    bookmark of tears
    So those important moments
    won't ever be forgotten...

    When I look up to the sky
    within such wideness
    I'm starting to grasp the length of
    this never ending path

    Be it sunny day or rainy day,
    tomorrow will surely come
    So with a smile,
    I'm taking one step forward

    This cherry blossom petal is a
    bookmark of future
    To make me remember
    the dream I've been longing for
    This cherry blossom petal is a
    bookmark of hope
    Rather than marking the end,
    this page is the starting point

    This cherry blossom petal is a
    bookmark of heart
    Where sunlight through the trees
    in our sparkling youth looked so dazzling<
    This cherry blossom petal is a
    bookmark of that day
    So each and everyone will not forget
    their dreams until it's blooming fully
