Bouquet Lyrics Translation – Nelke | Ririko
RIRIKO describes life as a single petal on this round, round earth anyway. The poet mixes small daily moments, like a page turning or a curtain swaying, with big questions about the future. She asks what the two of us can do together with heartfelt honesty.
Tsumari kyou shika nai you na toki o kasaneteStacking up days that feel like they’ll only happen today,
Itsunomanika ni itsunomanika ni deatte itebefore we knew it, before we knew it, we had met.
Kimi ga omou boku ni narete imasu kaHave I become the person you think I am?
Ano natsu ni utsuroi ni mimi sumashitaI listened closely to the fading changes of that summer.
Hontou naraba bokutachi waIf we’re being honest, we’re
Seikatsu to kokyuu ni hisshi na dakejust desperately trying to live and breathe.
Hontou naraba bokutachi waIf we’re being honest,
Sore de ii noni…that should be enough for us…
Kimi no tame ni nani ga dekiru no deshou kaI wonder what I can do for you?
Douse maarui maarui chikyuu no hitohira gaWe’re just a single petal on this round, round earth anyway,
Sandome no kisetsu demo kangaete imasubut I’m still thinking about it even in our third season together.
Ima nandomo nandomo nankai moNow, over and over, so many times,
Peeji o mekuru oto ga shita you na…it feels like I heard the sound of a page turning…
Nariowaru mezamashi yureta kaatenThe alarm stops ringing, and the curtains sway.
Hoo o tsutau sono riyuu mo wakatte iruI also know the reason why tears fall down my cheeks.
Mada hontou naraba bokutachi waStill, if we’re being honest,
Tarinasa kakaeta mamawhile carrying our feelings of not being enough,
Hontou naraba bokutachi waif we’re being honest, we
Otona ni mo naruwill grow into adults too.
Kimi mo onaji sora o miageta deshou kaI wonder if you looked up at this same sky too?
Todoke namae negai keshiki o kakinaguruI violently scribble down names, wishes, and scenery, hoping they reach you.
Ima mo kowai kuse shite kakko tsukechau yaEven now, though I’m scared, I still try to act tough.
Douka douka kirei na mama dePlease, please, stay as beautiful as you are.
Omoidasu janaku oboete itai yoI don’t just want to recall it, I want to keep it alive in my heart.
Ano ko ni atte boku ni naiWhat that person has, and what I lack.
Kisetsu wa itsumo tantan to sugiruThe seasons always pass by so indifferently.
Tsuyoku nare jumon no you ni‘Be strong,’ I tell myself like a magic spell.
Aka shiro kiiro nandatte yokuteRed, white, yellow, any color is fine,
Kizuguchi datte iete wa naiand even my wounds haven’t fully healed yet.
Saishuu ressha yatto ai ni ikuI’m finally taking the last train to go see you.
Sorezore no erabu manima niAs we each make our own choices,
Zutto omotte iruI’m always thinking of you.
Futari naraba nani ga dekiru no deshou kaI wonder what the two of us can do together?
Datte yatto no koto de iki o shita shudaikaAfter all, this theme song has finally started to breathe.
Kimi no tame ni kaketa kashi bakkari da naaIt’s full of lyrics I wrote just for you.
Douka sutte haite ne daijoubuPlease just breathe in and out, it’s going to be okay.
Wari to aato da to omouI think it’s quite a piece of art.
Ima nandomo nandomo nankai moNow, over and over, so many times,
Mada chippoke dakedo chanto kirei dait’s still tiny, but it’s truly beautiful.
Tsugi wa doko e ikouWhere should we go next?
