Sakura no hanabira ga kaze ni korogari odotta
Kawa no nagare ni fune wo ukabete
Mata hitotsu haru ga kite wasureta hazu no omoi ga
Kono mune ni yomigaeru

Guuzen kanojo wo mikaketa nagai kami wo tabanete
Tabun futari machiawase ne
Minareta sono sugata kooto ni te wo ireta
Anata no kage ga sotto kasanaru

Akirameta hazu na no ni naze mune ga itamu no
Waraiau kuuki ni koe mo kakezu se wo muketa...

Koibito ijou ni nagaku irareru
Kono hou ga kono mama de imouto no mama de
Hontou wa anata mo shitteta kuse ni
Kono kimochi wo kono koi wo watashi yori mo motto...

Mukashi mitai ni denwa mo anmari shinaku natta ne
Shiranai koto ga afurete iku
Kodomo jimita jerashii hayaku otona ni naritai
Sono hitomi ni utsuru you na

Tanjoubi ni kureta yuki no kesshou wa
Ano hi no setsunasa de ima mo mada kagayaite

Koibito ijou ni taisetsu dakara
Imouto no you da to anata wa itta kedo
Kizu tsukenai tame no yasashisa wa
Kono kokoro wo toraete itsumade mo hanasanai...

Koibito ijou ni nagaku irareru
Kono hou ga kono mama de imouto no mama de
Hontou wa anata mo shitteta kuse ni
Kono kimochi wo kono koi wo watashi yori mo motto...

English

The cherry blossom petals danced in the breeze
Launching a boat in the river’s current
Another spring comes, and a feeling I thought I’d forgotten
Is revived in my heart

By chance, I see her, tying up her long hair
You’re probably meeting up, aren’t you?
Your familiar figure puts its hand into her coat
And your shadows softly merge as one

I thought I’d given up on you, so why does my heart ache?
I turned my back on your atmosphere of laughter, without saying a word…

We can be together longer than lovers this way
Like this, like your little sister
Thr truth is, you knew too
About my feelings, my love – even more than I knew myself…

You’ve even stopped calling as much as before
There’s so much I don’t know about you now
This jealousy is so childish, I want to grow up quick
And be an adult who’ll be reflected in your eyes

The snow crystal you gave me on my birthday
Still sparkles today, with the pain of that day

You said I was like a younger sister to you
And that meant I was more special to you than a lover
But the kindness you gave me so you wouldn’t hurt me
Has captured my heart and won’t ever let it go…

We can be together longer than lovers this way
Like this, like your little sister
Thr truth is, you knew too
About my feelings, my love – even more than I knew myself…
