アカツキ – MAN WITH A MISSION

With my heart suddenly stolen away by the 

striking scent of spring

Once again, I was moved to tears

The phrase long since went old:

“The season where cherry blossoms fall”

Yet, it plunges me into despair

Encounters brimming over with radiance Farewells spoken fleetingly Smiling amidst the breeze

Dreams vanishing into thin air And the stories that each of us spin It’s all melting away into the spring night

Those parting words we haven’t yet uttered

Did you stand there unable to speak,

still without it sinking in?

Like the seasons going round and round

It’s fine to remember as you walk on

I whispered to summon all my strength

When it comes down to it, there is no guarantee for our hopes but still we smile amidst the breeze

The light of the moon we gazed upon Looking to our unchanging selves This spring night is melting away

Encounters brimming over with radiance Farewells spoken fleetingly Smiling amidst the breeze

Dreams vanishing into thin air And the stories that each of us spin It’s all melting away into the spring night
