Anemone - lyrics and translation

[kasumi_imai]

So, I really love this song and there was no translation of it. Ohkura had it on his playlists too (along with I to U and Royal Milk Story)! I thought they would play it on 15sai because the other 2 were!
And then I got to train my terrible japanese. A huge thanks to the friend who helped me with it <3
If you notice something wrong please tell me, I've put a lot of work on it and want it to be acurate! But if you are only doing it to spite me I'll curse your soul 😈

This morning I also ran to the station, while competing with my watch, I fiercely dash

The time is limited, severed and at the ticket gate I'm confined

I'm out of luck as usual, no spare money to buy it,

So, since I totally can't get it, in a way the three conditions are met ¹

The train door abandons me in a spit

Looks that "The road to success is already sold out", I think

Walking around in tired shoes, back in my messy room,

Lonely, waiting alone, it's not about me, it's about tomorrow's sun

I didn't even know your name and looked down on you, then I suddenly thought:

"If it's me what could I do"

 

"The red flowers are blooming" is what the florist lady told me

She always knows where the sun is

The me that wanted to grow tall, the you that was stretching your roots deeper and deeper

"Can't walk, so I can't see bad things" I thought

Don't have any topic, but I stretch both hands

Earnestly looking at you and somehow remembering that day:

You smiling and waving with a gentle look

 

The always "dull" and "worthless" typical me have become a motto.

I didn't return the kindness that people gave me and

was just fixated on the visage of the "true meaning" of "kindness"

 

My darling. For the sake of the people that you treasure

I also have things that I can do, is what I was told

It was your smile

My darling. If there was your smile

I thought that it's fine to be a bit helpless, so I want you to keep on smiling

Like a flower

 

A man will bloom once a lifetime

Even if it isn't huge and beautiful, it's better than anyone else's

The only flower that I'm always proud of

For the sake of the discovery of that yet unseen 'color'

Crying and being disheartened like struggling to arrive.

In the end if you laugh it's OK, isn't it?

 

My darling. For the sake of the people that you treasure

I also have things that I can do, is what I was told

It was your smile

My darling. If there was your smile

I thought that it's fine to be a bit helpless, so I want you to keep on smiling

Like a flower

 

People who are precious are supposed to always be right by the others' side

If you think your pain ceased, I'm the one that's hurt

If you intend act kindly, then finding stuff like kindness

I'm also a nameless flower embracing a bud.

 

1: the term 'Sanbyoushi' means triple meter/time, which is a technical musical term, but 'Sanbyoushi sorou' means "meeting all three important conditions, being a triple threat, being ideal".
