Hanamizuki Lyrics Translation Han-Kun | Musical Ambassador II – Juke Box Man
Han-Kun paints the scene with a dogwood leaf offered at the water’s edge. The performer describes chasing a fluttering butterfly while hoisting a white sail. He whispers the line, ‘May you and the one you love last for a hundred years,’ as waves settle.
Sora o oshiagetePushing up the sky,
Te o nobasu kimi gogatsu no kotoyou reached out your hands back in May.
Douka kite hoshiiPlease come here,
Mizugiwa made kite hoshiiI want you to come to the water’s edge.
Tsubomi o ageyouI’ll give you a flower bud,
Niwa no hanamizukifrom the dogwood in the garden.
Usubeniiro no kawaii kimi no neYou are lovely in light crimson shades.
Hatenai yume ga chanto owarimasu you niMay your endless dreams find a proper end.
Kimi to suki na hito ga hyakunen tsuzukimasu you niMay you and the one you love last for a hundred years.
