今年的櫻花忘了開

黃宥傑

今年的櫻花忘了開

閉上眼 我回到那一年 清水寺旁熱鬧的祭典
什錦煎 鯛魚燒 每個攤位都新鮮
遺憾錯過晚春最後一場雪

你拉著我說: 去探險! 穿越過蜿蜒小徑和青苔石階
老神社旁邊 一樹櫻花在眼前
風一吹 飄粉紅色的雪

你說這場雪 有個名字叫′忘年之戀'
有心戀人牽手才能看見
拾起花瓣兩片 夾在書裡當紀念
紀念我們 曾經擁有 忘年之約

櫻花櫻花幾月開
六月不開 十月不開 三月才開
我想念的他 在不在 櫻花雪中等著我回來

經過多少年 周遭事物不停地變遷
人懂事一點 快樂就少一點
翻看記事本裡 褪色櫻花瓣書籤
讓我想念 指著遠方 他的指尖

櫻花櫻花何時才開
等過秋天 盼過冬天 我依約前來
我等的他呀 忘了來 今年的櫻花忘了開...

Cherry Blossoms Forgot to Bloom This Year

Huang Youjie

Cherry Blossoms Forgot to Bloom This Year

I close my eyes and return to that year, the lively festival beside Kiyomizu-dera
Okonomiyaki, taiyaki, every stall is fresh
Regretting missing the last snowfall of late spring

You pulled me along, saying: Let's explore! We walked through winding paths and mossy stone steps
Beside the old shrine, a cherry blossom tree stood before us
The wind blew, sending pink snow flying

You said that this snow has a name called 'forget-me-not love'
Only lovers holding hands can see it
I picked up two flower petals and placed them in a book as a memento
A memento of our once-shared, forget-me-not promise

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms, in what month do you bloom?
You do not bloom in June, nor in October, only in March
My beloved, are you waiting for me in the cherry blossom snow?

After so many years, the world around us has changed unceasingly
As people grow older, their happiness diminishes
I turn the pages of my notebook to the faded cherry blossom petal bookmark
It makes me miss the direction your fingertips pointed

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms, when will you bloom again?
I have waited through autumn, I have hoped through winter, I have come as promised
But the one I waited for has forgotten to come. This year, the cherry blossoms forgot to bloom...
