花雪 (Hanayuki) – Flowery snow
Ending theme for anime Hanayamata.
——
The cherry blossom wind blew through my hair
Unable to hide my sigh, on this road home alone
The night when my dream lost its destination
I acted tough, saying “it’s alright”, as I blocked up my heart
Listen, listen, as I hold back my tears and looked up at the moon
At the end of the end of blurry days, you appeared
Entrusted with the song of fluttering flowery snow, the fairytale kingdom princess
Flowers fall from her innocent dancing sleeves, so many traces
In the hand you held out to me, lies the melody of that day’s dream
Piling on my wishes, continuing to forever, on and on
Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow
So we dream up our own paths to the future
The sight of your beloved expression as you speak
Of the same hopes and worries, as the seasons shift
I can surely never tell anyone else, or show it to them
Taking your hand, let me support you this time
Prancing together in the flowery snow, the fairytale kingdom princess
Is finally here, the snow melts, spring is not far off
Our connected palms feel so warm, like in that day’s dream
With matching smiles, you and I, and the flowers too
Ah, the winds of doubt blow again, even if we’re apart
Flutter, flutter, flutter, goes the password we’ve exchanged
“See you again, flowers.”
I can always hear it, right here
Entrusted with the song of fluttering flowery snow, the fairytale kingdom princess
Flowers fall from her innocent dancing sleeves, so many miracles
In the hand you held out to me, lies the start of a story
Piling on my wishes, continuing to forever, on and on, resonating
