English

The song of the cherry blossom flows through the town
In the blink of an eye
Separation day has come
In the corner of the school building
Everyone is secretly
Writing messages together

I’ve already taken off my school uniform
Amidst the winds of spring
Before long, every flower will fall
But will dream anew

Friends, from our memories
Believe in a shining tomorrow
That’s right, graduation
Is not an exit, but an entrance
Friends, the only thing left
Is to continue on our separate paths
But don’t say goodbye
Because we’ll meet again soon
So let’s high five for now

Even looking through all the pictures we took
Everything dear to us
Can’t be left behind
We’ve fought sometimes had mean thoughts
But for some reason
We still had our arms around each other

Nobody has gone home yet
So the classroom seems narrow
But before our parting hour
Lies our future

Tears, let them fall
We’ll be born again
So let’s cry all we can
That’s right, other painful things
Are still to come
So let’s cry now
Tears, if we show each other
Our tear-streaked faces
We’ll be able to share anything
We’re best friends for life
I’ll always remember, so let’s high five

Friends, from our memories
Believe in a shining tomorrow
That’s right, graduation
Is not an exit, but an entrance
Friends, getting to meet you
Was the best part of my youth
Every “thank you” that I’ve yet to say
Is in this high five…
