Translation of the song 散りてなお artist Yumi Matsutōya

さらさらと　枯れさわぐ　川原ゆく　光と影

The light and the shadow go by the dry riverbed withering with a rusting sound

今はなき故郷と　同じ匂いの風わたる

Now it's crossed by a wind with the smell of my late hometown

目を閉じればすぐ会える　巡り来る春に

When I close my eyes I can meet the spring going round

散りてなお　咲いている　君の面影　胸に

Scattered and yet, your face blooms in my chest

またひとり　歩き出す　金いろに頬を染めて

I walk alone again dyeing my cheeks of gold

過ぎし日の約束は　叶うことなくほどけて

The promise of the gone days comes undone without coming true

今もまだ揺れている　心の水面さざめかせ

Now it keeps trembling, making noise in the water of my heart

手を伸ばせばふれられる　時の後ろ髪

When I stretch my hands, I can touch the back-hair of time

いつの日か　帰らむと　想い描く景色は

Before I know, I want to return to the landscape that draws my memories

現し世にもう無いのに　誰も消し去れはしない

Though it no longer exists in the present, nobody can erase it

いつか来た道を　たどり橋渡れば

When I cross the bridge by the road I came one day

何事もない賑わいに紛れ　忘れゆく

I forget disappearing among the crowd

散りてなお　咲いている　君の面影　胸に

Scattered and yet, your face blooms in my chest

またひとり　歩き出す　金いろに頬を染めて

I walk alone again dyeing my cheeks of gold

いつの日か　帰らむと　想い描く景色は

Before I know, I want to return to the landscape that draws my memories

現し世にもう無いのに　誰も消し去れはしない

Though it no longer exists in the present, nobody can erase it
