JAPANESE
いつもと変わらない
帰り道の途中
見慣れぬ一輪の花に
出逢いました
色も形も何も
好みではなかったのに
どうしても
惹かれてしまいました
好き嫌い 好き嫌い
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残るひとひらが
好きな方であるといいのですが
今朝目が覚めたら
花は此処に在って
恐れのかけらも
見せずに咲いてました
そんなところがきっと
惹かれた理由なのでしょう
大切に水を替えて
行きましょう
好き嫌い 好き嫌い
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残るひとひらの
運命委ねてもいいですか
好き嫌い 好き嫌い
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残るひとひらが
好きな方であるといい
さようなら さようなら
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残るひとひらが
嫌いな方だったら...
ENGLISH (Translation)
Along the usual never-changing
Road towards home
I met with a single
Unfamiliar flower
Its colour, shape, and all else
There was nothing I really liked about it, but
I couldn’t help
But be captivated by it
Loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not
Plucking off the petals one by one
The last remaining petal
If only it can land on “he loves me”
When I woke up this morning
The flower was here with me
It had bloomed
Without showing even a sliver of fear
That must surely be why
I had been captivated by it
Carefully giving it some water
Let’s do that
Loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not
Plucking off the petals one by one
The last remaining petal
Can I entrust myself to its fate?
Loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not
Plucking off the petals one by one
The last remaining petal
If only it can land on “he loves me”
Goodbye, goodbye
Plucking off the petals one by one
The last remaining petal
If it lands on “he loves me not”…
