From the upper reaches of the water, flowers fall on the narrow pathway
If our footsteps halt before the sunlight streaming through the leaves—
This is where we part
I’m still not able to say “I have always loved you”
I don’t have any time
For falling in love
“Even if it’s wrong, even if it’s wrong;
You are not allowed to fall in love.”
I whispered in your ear, so no one could hear,
That day is already far away in the sky…
Dance, whirl, O cherry blossoms of the night,
Ride on a dream and songbird’s wings,
Until the last breath of spring,
Even if you are, someday, bound to forget everything
Dance, whirl, O cool breeze,
While you were slick with sweat from the summer, your hair was hidden by the clouds,
Yet I still yearn to be enraptured by you for all eternity
From season to season
That night you stayed by me, trying to soothe me,
Slipping through the gaps in my scooped fingers,
It melted away
You touched me… so kindly, and so,
The seasons that
I awaited so eagerly
I guess I was wrong, I was wrong,
To have fell in love with you
It seems I love you so much,
I could forsake all sweet things
Dance, whirl, O autumn rain,
With the god of westward fall and the song of bygone autumns
Your cheeks dyed the color of autumn leaves, the looming threat of rain
Comes to serve as our reason to cuddle under the umbrella
Dance, whirl, O scattered snowflakes,
And take with you the silence of the night
Once you place that hand of yours in my pocket,
Let us cuddle close,
From season to season
The winds of each season graced you beautifully
Take me with you,
Towards that faraway dream within a dream
Your black hair in spring, the shoals of summer,
Your autumn-colored cheeks, how in the winter, you rise from slumber grumpy, too;
I love, love all those parts of you
You, dyed in scenic beauty,
And those days of flowers blooming in abundance
Are now a distant memory
I want to be enraptured by you for eternity, I want to touch you for all eternity
Farewell, farewell
From season to season
