Scandal - Departure Lyrics + English Translation

Sakura no kisetsu ga kita ne

Shoutengai no ano kouen mo

Samusa ni makezu ni hirahira to

Kotoshi mo mankai wo mukaetemasu

Issho ni aruita yoru wa

Kirei ni akari ga tomotteta ne

Mijikai hohaba de chakuchaku to

Watashi mo ippozutsu aruitemasu

Are kara dore kurai

Tsukihi ga tatta no ka nante sa

Wasuresou ni naru na

Tachidomatte miageta sakura

Deai mo areba wakare mo aru nante

Dareka ga kimeta kisetsu ni

Mata ne to ookiku te wo futte

Sayonara ja nai koto tashikameta

Kotoba ni naranai kimochi wa

Kono hanabira ni nosereba iin da yo

Tte kimi ga oshiete kureta koto

Ima demo chanto oboeteiru kara

Sakura no kisetsu ga sugiru to

Shoutengai no ano kouen mo

Yakume wo oeta you ni shizuka de

Nandaka sukoshi samishiku narimasu

Ima demo kawaranai?

Shiranai koto mo kitto fueta ne

Amaetakunai kara

Ano hi ni oite kita futatsu no kage

Saisho no namida mo saigo no egao mo

Mimamotte kureta kimi wo

Mabataki suru no mo kowagatte

Nandomo nandomo yakitsuketeta

Kotoba ga tarinai

Sonna wagamama wo

Sakende wa komaraseta

Kimi ga omotte kureta koto

Kizukenakatta wake de wa nai kedo

Are kara takusan no

Tsukihi ga watashi wo kaeta kara

Chigatte mieta no kana

Kirei ni sakihokotta sakura

Deai mo areba wakare mo aru nante

Dareka ga kimeta kisetsu ni

Mata ne to ookiku te wo futte

Sayonara ja nai koto tashikameta

Kotoba ni naranai kimochi wa

Kono hanabira ni nosereba iin da yo

Tte kimi ga oshiete kureta koto

Ima nara chanto wakatteiru kara

Ima demo...

English Translation

The season of cherry blossoms has arrived

In that shopping district's park

They reach full bloom this year again

Braving the cold and fluttering in the air

The lights glowed beautifully

On the nights we walked together

In a short stride

I too steadily walk one step at a time

How much time has passed

Ever since then?

I'm starting to forget

The cherry blossoms we stopped to look up at

In a season where someone decides that

If there are encounters, there are partings as well

We said "See you later" and gave a big wave

To make sure it wasn't goodbye

I hope the feelings I couldn't put into words

Are carried out on these flower petals

Even now I still remember exactly

What you taught me

The season of cherry blossoms passes by

And as if fulfilling its role

That shopping district's park

Becomes quiet and somehow a little lonely

Has it still not changed?

There are so many things that are unfamiliar

Because we don't want to be dependent on each other

Two shadows were left behind that day

You protected those first tears and those last smiles

I was scared to blink my eyes

It burned into my mind over and over

Words aren't enough

I was embarrassed

About shouting out such selfishness

I noticed the things

You felt about me

All of those days since then

Have changed me, so I wonder if

The cherry blossoms that have bloomed beautifully

Seem different

In a season where someone decides that

If there are encounters, there are partings as well

We said "See you later" and gave a big wave

To make sure it wasn't goodbye

I hope the feelings I couldn't put into words

Are carried out on these flower petals

I understand exactly now

What you taught me

Even now...
