Lyrics:
So far away
Yet very near
A blooming maze
A cherry blossom world
For humming birds

But for cherries we will not go weeping
To give a chance to this day

There was a sky
Where roses thrived
But now the world
It turns to prose, not flies
It has no time

Who would weep for fragrant flowers?
Who could want to hug a summer?
For when forests burn then no one weeps a
About a rose
We’re the only souls
No one else regards
A rose’s charm
As dear as gold

Fruit trees in bloom
Pass very soon
A hummingbird
Exhilarates us
With his lovely tune

Who would weep for cherry blossoms?
Soon enough they would have fallen
Much more pressing things are waving through
The blooming trees
We’re the only souls
Under a new moon
When forests burn
Then no one trusts
A rose will last
Except for us
