花言葉 (Hanakotoba) Meaning & Lyrics (Tagright)
The narrator writes about watering an uncertain bud and a flower that bloomed unfinished. He asks, ‘what kind of flower’s symbolic meaning would suit me,’ questioning his own growth. This musician layers memories and aspirations over his journey.
Yume ni sosaida jikan woAll the time I poured into my dreams,
Furi kaeritaku nakattaI didn’t want to look back on it.
Karetetta namida no kazu yaThe count of tears that have dried up,
Ataerareta jikan to ai niand the time and love I’ve been given,
Ashita ga tsuriawanai karabecause tomorrow simply won’t measure up.
Gomenne ga jama suru arigatouMy apologies keep getting in the way of my gratitude.
Kimi ni tsutawaru deshou ka?I wonder if my feelings are reaching you?
Itsuka iro azayaka ni mau hi wo negattePraying for the day I’ll dance in vivid colors,
Futashika na tsubomi ni mizu wo ataetaI kept watering this uncertain bud.
Tatoeba ano yoru ni okuru to shitaraIf I were to send something back to that night,
Kono uta nan darouI wonder what this song would be.
Mikansei na mama de sakihokotta hana niOn this flower that bloomed while still unfinished,
Omoide to akogare wo kasanete mo ii kanais it alright to layer my memories and aspirations?
Kawaranai mama de kawaritai to negau ima no boku niFor the me who wants to change while staying the same,
Donna hanakotoba ga niau kanawhat kind of ‘flower’s symbolic meaning’ would suit me?
Ano hi no boku he tsutaenakya ikenai to omottaI felt like I had to tell my past self,
Kimi ni deatte yume wo hanaseru you ni natta yothat since meeting you, I’ve finally been able to speak of my dreams.
Ano hi no boku he douka onegai ashita wo shinjiteTo the me from that day, please, just believe in tomorrow.
Ima nara ieru yo (kimi ni) aishiteru yoI can say it now to you, I love you.
Chikazuku tabi ni toozakatte wa tarareba wo narabetaEvery time I got closer, I drifted away and listed all the ‘what-ifs’.
Hitasura ni tsuzukeru koto de shika mitasarenakattaI could only find fulfillment by single-mindedly pushing forward.
Yatto no omoi de saita kosei gaThis individuality that finally bloomed through the struggle,
Dareka no hikari no kage niis lost in the shadow of someone else’s light.
Kakusarete shimatte moEven if it ends up hidden from view,
Nande aitsu ga nande aitsu gaI don’t want to think, ‘Why him? Why him?’
Nante omoitaku nakute sabecause I didn’t want to feel that way.
Kodoku ya zasetsu mochiyotteI don’t want us to bring our loneliness and failures together,
Nagusameaitai wake janaijust so we can comfort each other.
Anata no namida ni kizuku riyuu ni natteI want to be the reason your tears are noticed,
Futashika na mama demo waraemasu you niso you can smile even while things are still uncertain.
Tatoeba sono subete ni imi ga aru to shitaraIf there’s a meaning to every bit of it,
Kono uta ni noseru yoI’ll carry it all within this song.
Mikansei na mama de sakihokotta hana niOn this flower that bloomed while still unfinished,
Omoide to akogare wo kasanete mo ii kanais it alright to layer my memories and aspirations?
Kawaranai mama de kawaritai to negau ima no boku niFor the me who wants to change while staying the same,
Donna hanakotoba ga niau kanawhat kind of ‘flower’s symbolic meaning’ would suit me?
Ano hi no boku he tsutaenakya ikenai to omottaI felt like I had to tell my past self,
Kimi ni deatte yume wo hanaseru you ni natta yothat since meeting you, I’ve finally been able to speak of my dreams.
Ano hi no boku he douka onegai ashita wo shinjiteTo the me from that day, please, just believe in tomorrow.
