Paroles et traduction Berry Goodman - さくら

さくら

「泣かないで 笑って」僕らに手を振り 舞う桜
少し寂しいけど 心の中「ありがとう」と
グッバイ グッバイ グッバイ

なぜか胸が痛くなる春 グラウンドを見ればさくら咲く
いつになく窓を覗く 北側廊下横 一本の木
部活に必死で見なかった 親鳥の元からヒナたちが
巣立ってく 僕らも笑って 胸張って 旅立とう

体育館の紅白の幕 旅立ちの歌で後輩が泣く
いま答辞を聞いて想い込み上げる
思い出たち元気によみがえる
大人になった友の表情と 涙で滲んだ卒業証書
ブカブカだった制服も 今じゃぴったり みんな堂々と

できるならここでまた会いたいけど
それぞれの道に旅立っていく また新たな人生が始まっていく
いつも見てたこの桜の木の下で
「僕らはずっと繋がってる」 今歩き出そう

「泣かないで 笑って」僕らに手を振り 舞う桜
聞こえるよ 溢れ出すよ 君との思い出が
離さないで 握ったこの手に伝わり合う 明日が
少し寂しいけど 心の中「ありがとう」と
グッバイ グッバイ グッバイ

うるさいチャイムの音 ウザい先生の話も懐かしい
修学旅行で告白 フラれた事も
文化祭の劇 ふざけた事も
走馬灯のように今日 物思いにふける
教科書 机の中にまだ忘れたまんま
今日で最後の日めくりカレンダー

桜の木の幹に 手をあてる
いまは亡き君に 手を合わせる
そっと流れた涙に想いを馳せる
僕らは友達 この先何があっても同じ空の下で

ずっと忘れない 放課後みんなで行ったコンビニも
語り合った夢も ケンカもあったけど
心の中「ありがとう」と「ごめんね」

「泣かないで 笑って」僕らに手を振り 舞う桜
聞こえるよ 溢れ出すよ 君との思い出が
離さないで 握ったこの手に伝わり合う 明日が
少し寂しいけど 心の中「ありがとう」と
グッバイ グッバイ グッバイ

泣かないと決めてた 別れの日
目から流れるはナガレボシ
僕らの門出を花びらで祝う
大きな一本の桜の木
「ありがとう」 グッバイ グッバイ
溢れ出す グッバイ グッバイ
朝まで笑いあったあの場所にラクガキ
「またここで会おうな」 グッバイ

Sakura

“Don't cry, smile,” our sakura waves to us.
Though it’s a little sad, in our hearts we say “Thank you,"
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

For some reason, our chests ache in the spring, because we see sakura blooming on the grounds.
On the usual side-corridor facing north, I look out the window and notice a tree.
I was too busy with club activities to notice the chicks, they have left their mother’s nest.
They have spread their wings and taken flight, just like us. Let's leave, smiling and with our chests pumped out.

The red and white banners hang in the gymnasium, my juniors are crying while singing the graduation song.
Memories fill my head as I listen to the valedictory address.
They come back to life.
The tears on my diploma have blurred the expressions of my friends who have become adults,
Our uniforms used to hang loosely on us, but now they fit perfectly. Everyone stands tall.

If I could, I would meet you here again,
But each of us is walking down our own paths, our new lives are just beginning.
Under this sakura tree we always see,
“We are always connected,” I tell you. Let’s start walking.

“Don't cry, smile,” our sakura waves to us.
I can hear our memories flooding back.
Don’t let go, let our grip communicate the future.
Though it’s a little sad, in our hearts we say “Thank you,"
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

The sound of the bell and the dull chatter of the teachers makes me nostalgic.
Even the times you confessed and got rejected on our school trip,
And when we fooled around during the play at the culture festival,
Come flooding back like a revolving lantern.
I still haven't taken the textbooks out of my desk,
And the calendar on my wall shows today as the last day.

I place my hand on the trunk of the cherry tree,
And now for you, who has passed away, I clasp my hands together.
My thoughts rush to you as I shed a tear,
We were friends, no matter what happens in the future, we’ll always be under the same sky.

I’ll never forget the convenience stores we all went to after school,
And the dreams we talked about. We had arguments, but
In my heart I say “Thank you,” and “I’m sorry.”

“Don't cry, smile,” our sakura waves to us.
I can hear our memories flooding back.
Don’t let go, let our grip communicate the future.
Though it’s a little sad, in our hearts we say “Thank you,"
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

I decided not to cry on this day of farewell,
But tears are falling from my eyes like shooting stars,
Congratulating our departure with flower petals,
A big, single sakura tree.
“Thank you,” goodbye, goodbye.
Bubbling out, goodbye, goodbye.
We scribbled graffiti in that place where we were laughing until the morning,
“Let's meet here again.” Goodbye.
