Hajimari no Haru (ハジマリノハル)

[nebulancer]

English translation:

With a faint lingering fragrance of the swaying poppy flowers,

The bush warbler took flight

The witch hazel in bloom is a king’s single kimono

In a shade of purple resembling the darkness

 

One thing has been lightly forgotten: a side profile in love with you

To have forgotten a finger promise long gone, the flower language that flashes through my mind is

What remains of a dream

 

Flickering, wavering, swaying – hasten the spring of beginning, oh feelings of love

We conceal how we truly feel, eagerly awaiting the wind

 

A traditional Japanese beauty with waving hair

Is made to stay noble

Feeling uncertainty, the breath awaiting spring

Is the dream a baby chick dreamt

 

With you always remaining there, if something were to change

Whether God or Buddha, either one’s needlessly easy path

Should not be chosen

 

Flickering, wavering, swaying – The beginning is always a single feeling of love

In one instant, two are involved

 

With you,

With you,

Forever on,

For all time,

Let’s go

We’ll go

Beyond this “bloom”

 

One thing has been lightly forgotten: a side profile in love with you

To have forgotten a finger promise long gone, the flower language that flashes through my mind is

What remains of a dream

 

Flickering, wavering, swaying – hasten the spring of beginning, oh feelings of love

We conceal how we truly feel

Flickering, wavering, swaying – The beginning is always a single feeling of love

In one instant, two are involved

Eagerly awaiting the wind
