花は咲 - Flowers Will Bloom

Chanced upon this song. A song that was dedicated to the Japan Tsunami Victims in 2011. The melody first caught The Other Half's attention, and he insisted I go on a hunting mission for it. I did, and found out soon enough that it is a simple yet compelling song that tells of flowers that will continue to bloom even in the face of adversity, about the strength and tenacity of mankind in her survival. I am not a Japanese, and thus had to  trouble native Japanese peeps (thank you! you know who you are!) to translate the song to understand its profound meaning. Was worth all that effort, as it is, indeed, a strong message of inspiration, that life goes on, all one has to do is reminisce, with fond memories...

花は　花は　花は咲く

KANJI & KANA

真っ白な　雪道に　春風香る
わたしは　なつかしい
あの街を　思い出す
叶えたい　夢もあった
変わりたい　自分もいた
今はただ　なつかしい
あの人を　思い出す
誰かの歌が聞こえる
誰かを励ましてる
誰かの笑顔が見える
悲しみの向こう側に
花は　花は　花は咲く
いつか生まれる君に
花は　花は　花は咲く
わたしは何を残しただろう
夜空の　向こうの
朝の気配に
わたしは　なつかしい
あの日々を　思い出す
傷ついて　傷つけて
報われず　泣いたりして
今はただ　愛おしい
あの人を　思い出す
誰かの想いが見える
誰かと結ばれてる
誰かの未来が見える
悲しみの向こう側に
花は　花は　花は咲く
いつか生まれる君に
花は　花は　花は咲く
わたしは何を残しただろう
花は　花は　花は咲く
いつか生まれる君に
花は　花は　花は咲く
わたしは何を残しただろう
花は　花は　花は咲く
いつか生まれる君に
花は　花は　花は咲く
いつか恋する君のために
