"Elderflower (エルダーフラワー)" lyrics
[Romanized:]
Nan hitotsu fujiyū nado kake sasemai to
Nando mo nando mo chikatta hi kara itsushika
Kon'nanimo toki wa nagare kidzukeba nobita se ni
Nando mo nando mo akireru hodo chikara o moratte bakari ita
Nanika hitotsu dake demo anata e tewatasetara to
Kokoro no okumade sumizumi sagashite mite mo
Nan hitotsu hanayakadenai jimina mono bakaride
Nandomonandomo kaite wa keshite no narenohate ni
Kotoba de tsukuru hanataba o binsen ni afureru Hanazono o
To wa ie chīsana hana bakaridakedo sore ga watashi no kokoro no subete
Anata no ashita ga kumoranu yō ni
Sugu soba de zutto zutto inotteru
Shashin ya omoide ja tarinaikara
Kono sekai de zutto zutto ikidzuite ite to
Negau no wa watashi no kokoro ni sumau hana
Anata-tachi ga tsudzuru korekara no monogatari ga
Susumu ni tsurete tsudzuku ni tsurete minoru omoi wa
Tada eien ni ai
Kanashimi ga afuretanara me o tojireba soko ni iru wa
Shiawase wa kare wa shinai watashi kara anata e anata kara dareka e
Itsuka atena o shiru sonohi made dō ka
Anata no ashita ga kumoranu yō ni
Sugu soba de zutto zutto inotteru
Shashin ya omoide ja tarinaikara
Kono sekai de zutto zutto ikidzuite ite to
Negau no wa watashi no kokoro ni sumau hana
Anata-tachi ga tsudzuru korekara no monogatari ga susumu ni tsurete tsudzuku ni tsurete
Tatoe dorehodo susanda sekai demo
Tsudzuite iku dake de kagayaki o mato tte minoru omoi wa
Tada eien ni ai
[Japanese:]
何ひとつ不自由などかけさせまいと
何度も 何度も誓った日からいつしか
こんなにも時は流れ気づけば伸びた背に
何度も 何度も呆れるほど力を貰ってばかりいた
何かひとつだけでもあなたへ手渡せたらと
心の奥まで隅々探してみても
何ひとつ華やかでない地味なものばかりで
何度も何度も書いては消しての成れの果てに
言葉で作る花束を 便箋に溢れる花園を
とはいえ小さな花ばかりだけど それが私の心の全て
あなたの明日が曇らぬように
すぐそばでずっと ずっと祈ってる
写真や思い出じゃ足りないから
この世界でずっと ずっと息づいていてと
願うのは 私の心に住まう花
あなたたちが綴るこれからの物語が
進むに連れて 続くに連れて 実る想いは
ただ永遠に愛
悲しみが溢れたなら 目を閉じれば そこにいるわ
幸せは枯れはしない 私からあなたへ あなたから誰かへ
いつか宛名を知るその日までどうか
あなたの明日が曇らぬように
すぐそばでずっと ずっと祈ってる
写真や思い出じゃ足りないから
この世界でずっと ずっと息づいていてと
願うのは 私の心に住まう花
あなたたちが綴るこれからの物語が 進むに連れて 続くに連れて
たとえどれほど荒んだ世界でも
続いていくだけで 輝きをまとって 実る想いは
ただ永遠に愛
[English translation:]
I would never ever want you to lack a single thing in your life
From the day I swore that vow again and again as my guide
Through days and months, so much time has passed, and I noticed how tall you have grown
Then again and again, you've left me so speechless and amazed at how much power you have shown
If only I could place just a small little gift in the palm of your hand
Even searching the deepest corners in the middle of my heart
Nothing I find is dazzling or flashy at all, it's just simple and plain
Then again and again, I write, then erase, I just don't know where to start
A bouquet of flowers made only from words, and a beautiful garden blooming across the page
Even though they may be nothing but small little flowers
They are all representing every part of my whole heart
I'm wishing that your tomorrow will never cloud with gray
I'm right beside you, and always, always for you I would pray
Our photos and memories alone aren't enough to stay
May we continue to live on in this world forever, day by day
What I wish for is these flowers dwelling inside my heart
As the story that you're writing slowly unfolds itself, it keeps continuing to move forward page by page, and going on part by part
These feelings that ripen are
Simply eternal love
If tears overflow, and sadness overwhelm, just slowly close your eyes, you know I'll be right there
Our happiness will never wither away
It all begins from me to you, and then from you to somebody else
Until that very day when we can finally know its true name
I'm wishing that your tomorrow will never cloud with gray
I'm right beside you, and always, always for you I would pray
Our photos and memories alone aren't enough to stay
May we continue to live on in this world forever, day by day
What I wish for is these flowers dwelling inside my heart
As the story that you're writing slowly unfolds itself, it keeps continuing to
Move forward page by page, and going on part by part
Even if this world of ours grows shattered and terribly cold
Just by continuing on, you'll be wrapped in glittering gold
These feelings that ripen is
Simply eternal love
