Hanakotoba

hikarabite fumi tsubusareru no nara semete anata ni
kirei na hana no tonari demo ii soba ni itai desu
sachi usuku tanmei kawaru koto nado nai
itoshiku tada itoshiku anata wo...
anata wa itsumotoori sugaru tanbini yasashiku nadete kureta
ame no nai hi wa mizu wo kureta tsuyoku ikiru you ni to
anata wa itsumoshika sugata wo keshi watashi wa mata ichirin munashiku [saku]*
kareru dake no hana ni kureru mizu nado nai
kusaru dake no hana ni sosogu hikari nado nai
tada shiki ni obie nagara yami no naka haizuri mawaru
ima hikari wa sai shinagara yami no naka haizuri mawaru

dareka watashi ni doujousuru no nara totemo kirei na hana wo [sakasete]*
darenidemo ai sareru you na sonzai ni naritai

kareru minikuki hana ni kureru mizu nado nai
kusaru dake no hana wa tsubomi sura nokosezu
me wo mae wa yami de fusagare mogaku watashi wo tsubusu
anata nara anata dattara
koko kara tasukete kureru to omotteita
soumatou no naka de naiteita
anata ga kureta kanshoku wa
yoku ga unda yume nanoka
wakaranu mama jiki ni kusaru

English Translation

The Language of Flowers

If I'm to dry up completely and be crushed, at least let it be by you
I'm surrounded by beautiful flowers, but I would rather be close to you
This brittle happiness is short-lived Things like that cannot be changed
My beloved, my beloved is simply you...
I always relied on you, and every time, you would caress me gently
On days when there was no rain, you would give me water so I could live strong
But before I knew it, you disappeared I'm still just one flower [blooming]* in vain
Flowers can only wither if they are not given water
Flowers can only die if no light falls on them
As it is, in my final hours I am afraid as the darkness creeps in and encircles me
Even now while I try to find the light, the darkness creeps in and encircles me

If someone would take pity on me, then I could [bloom]* into an exceedingly beautiful flower
Everyone wants to live being loved by someone
Flowers can only become ugly and wither if no one gives them water
Dying flowers don't leave a bud behind
Before, my eyes were shrouded in darkness I struggled but was being crushed
As for you, if it were really you
I felt that you would come rescue me from this place
Where I'm crying inside this revolving lantern**
The feeling you gave me
Was it just a dream created by my desires?
It seems that soon I'll wither away without knowing the answer
