English Translation
9th March
In the middle of this drifting season
I suddenly feel the length of the days
In the midst of these quickly-passing days
You and I dream away
With my feelings on the March wind
The cherry blossom buds continue on into spring
The overflowing drops of light
One by one warm the morning
Beside you, I’m a little embarrassed
After a huge yawn
I’m standing at the door to a new world
What I’ve realized is that I’m not alone
If I close my eyes
You’re behind my eyelids
How strong has that made me?
I hope I’m the same for you
The dusty whirlwind
Tangled up the laundry, but
The white moon in the morning sky
Was so beautiful, I couldn’t look away
There are things that don’t go the way I planned
But if I look up to the sky, even they seem small
The blue sky is cold and clear
The fluffy clouds float by quietly
If I can share with you the joy
Of waiting for the flowers to bloom, I’ll be happy
From now on, I want you to be quietly smiling beside me
