English The area by the classroom window Is warm and sunny Not much time left on the spring calendar When I look around in class All my friends Wearing the same uniform Look grown-up We’re all going to set out To our respective futures We have The wings of dreams On our backs When the cherry blossom petals bloom I can hear the bells of hope ringing somewhere Giving us the freedom and courage Of tomorrow When the cherry blossom petals bloom Someone is surely praying somewhere To open the door to a new world with their own hands There were times when we fought And cried on the phone For some reason I’m nostalgic For the stressful days When I look back, both my joy and sadness Have left a road I was never Alone I smile In our graduation photo I want to watch The seasons go by Goodbye Petals of tears fall Down my cheeks as I walk away As I look up at the blue sky And take a big, deep breath Petals of tears fall As beautiful as my memories Let’s wave as we walk up the stairway to adulthood together When the cherry blossom petals bloom I can hear the bells of hope ringing somewhere Giving us the freedom and courage Of tomorrow When the cherry blossom petals bloom Someone is surely praying somewhere To open the door to a new world with their own hands Petals of tears fall Down my cheeks as I walk away As I look up at the blue sky And take a big, deep breath Petals of tears fall As beautiful as my memories Let’s wave as we walk up the stairway to adulthood together
