Translation of the song なでしこ桜 artist Wagakki Band
なでしこ桜
Pink cherry
朝焼けの霧に滲む
The mist of the morning glow spreads
囁く彼方の声
The voice of a distant whisper
夢が覚め遠く満ちる
Waking up from a dream and rising in the distance
時の訪れ
The arrival of time
手に落ちた露に映る
The dew that fell on the hand reflects
そなたの面影
Your face
待てど いずこ うつつに
I waited (for a long time) for wherever reality
心の奥で 彷徨う
Wandering about inside of the heart
儚く揺れる
Swaying with mere hope
なでしこ桜
Pink cherry blossoms
乱世で生まれた花よ
Flowers that were born in troubled times
紅く染められ
Dyed red
今、よみがえる
Now I’m rising from the dead
あの日のにほひ
Engraved in that day
夜に開く花ビラ
The flower petals that open up at night
音もなく 続く道を
Continuing down the soundless path
守るべき者のため
For the sake of protecting someone
ひとときの 闇を照らす
Illuminate the moment of darkness
月影ぼうし
The moonlight cover
深き淵に霞める
Growing hazy in the deep abyss
そなたの指切り
Your confirmation of a pinky promise
忍び 宿る 絆と
With stealthy, dwelling emotional bonds
心を盾に貫け
The heart pierces through the shield
艶やかに舞う
Fluttering about beautifully
なでしこ桜
Pink cherry blossoms
乱世で朽ちてく花よ
The flower that rots in troubled times
風にたわむれ
Frolicking in the wind
今、枝垂れゆく
Now, drooping down
微かなにほひ
Faintly engraved
色は移りにけりな
The colour changes from the past to the present
今ひとつ またひとつ 零れゆく
One more and then another, peeking through
花海に うずもれて
Hidden in a sea of flowers
永遠に巡り巡る夢見草
Cherry blossom petals rotating in a swirl for eternity
儚く揺れる
Swaying with mere hope
なでしこ桜
Pink cherry blossoms
乱世で生まれた花よ
Flowers that were born in troubled times
紅く染められ
Dyed red
今、よみがえる
Now, I'm rising from the dead
あの日のにほひ
Engraved in that day
夜に開く花ビラ
The flower petals that open up at night
忘れることなかれ
We must not forget
