Lyrics
さくら花に想う（Reflections on the Cherry Blossom）
by AriteAL
「さくら花に想う」は、散りゆく桜への惜別と“うき世（憂き世、浮世）”のままならなさを、和歌から借りて描いています。その儚さを、現代の喫茶店を舞台にリメイクしてみました。
散る花に込めた未練や矛盾を、温かなコーヒーの香りがそっと抱きしめ、明日へ進む力へと変えてくれる――そんな雰囲気を感じられる一曲になっていれば嬉しいです。
“Reflections on the Cherry Blossom” takes inspiration from classical waka poetry, weaving together a sense of bittersweet parting from the falling petals and the fleeting nature of our impermanent world. I’ve re-imagined that fragile beauty in a modern café setting, where the warm aroma of coffee gently enfolds the lingering regrets and contradictions nestled within those drifting blossoms—transforming them into the strength to move forward into tomorrow. I hope this piece captures that delicate yet hopeful atmosphere for you.

さくら花 憂き夜を染めて あなたを想うなら
コーヒーが冷める前に ひとつ言葉にしたい
風に揺れる 思い出の席は
取り戻せない 告白を隠す
咲き残る花びら 震わす鼓動は
いまを生き抜く 灯火のようで
さくら花 憂き世を宿し 触れられぬ心
終わりを知りながら 明日(あす)を乞うように
ためらう唇と 急かされる時間が
狂おしいほどに 私を縛りつける
蒼い夜明け カップに沈む影
ふと零(こぼ)れた涙 誰にも見せず
変わらぬ過去は ただ静かに揺れて
それでも先へ 進めと告げるの
さくら花 憂き世に染まる 赦(ゆる)せない傷も
胸に抱いたまま 笑える日がくる
後悔(こうかい)は種火 命(いのち)を灯すように
そっと見守って ふたりを繋ぐでしょう
さくら花 儚く散りても 終わりを抱きしめ
流れゆく季節に 祈りを刻む
見渡す限りの 花吹雪の中で
ただ今を愛しむ あなたと生きる

Cherry blossoms color this sorrowful night
As I’m thinking of you
Before the coffee cools in my hands
I want to say a single word
A breeze stirs the seat of old memories
Concealing a confession I can’t reclaim
One lonely petal, trembling like my heartbeat
A small flame urging me to live in the now
Cherry blossoms bear the weight of this fleeting world
Touching a heart that stays just out of reach
Though I know it will end, I still beg for tomorrow
My hesitant lips and racing time
Tie me in a maddening bind
In the pale dawn, a shadow sinks into my cup
A tear slips free, unseen by anyone
The unchanging past quietly sways
Yet whispers, “Go on, move ahead”
Cherry blossoms, stained by the trials of this weary world
Even wounds I can’t forgive still linger in my chest
But someday, I will smile again
Regret sparks a tiny flame, lighting up my life
Gently watching over us, it ties our hearts as one
Cherry blossoms, even when they scatter so soon
I hold the end in my arms
And carve my prayers into each changing season
Amid a swirl of petals as far as the eye can see
I cherish this moment
And choose to live it here with you
