Along the usual never-changing
Road towards home
I met with a single
Unfamiliar flower
Its colour, shape, and all else
There was nothing I really liked about it, but
I couldn’t help
But be captivated by it
Loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not
Plucking off the petals one by one
The last remaining petal
If only it can land on “he loves me”
When I woke up this morning
The flower was here with me
It had bloomed
Without showing even a sliver of fear
That must surely be why
I had been captivated by it
Carefully giving it some water
Let’s do that
Loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not
Plucking off the petals one by one
The last remaining petal
Can I entrust myself to its fate?
Loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not
Plucking off the petals one by one
The last remaining petal
If only it can land on “he loves me”
Goodbye, goodbye
Plucking off the petals one by one
The last remaining petal
If it lands on “he loves me not”…

いつもと変わらない
帰り道の途中
見慣れぬ一輪の花に
出逢いました
色も形も何も
好みではなかったのに
どうしても
惹かれてしまいました
好き嫌い 好き嫌い
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残るひとひらが
好きな方であるといいのですが
今朝目が覚めたら
花は此処に在って
恐れのかけらも
見せずに咲いてました
そんなところがきっと
惹かれた理由なのでしょう
大切に水を替えて
行きましょう
好き嫌い 好き嫌い
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残るひとひらの
運命委ねてもいいですか
好き嫌い 好き嫌い
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残るひとひらが
好きな方であるといい
さようなら さようなら
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残るひとひらが
嫌いな方だったら…
