Forget-me-not¹

Words by ISSAY

Music by HIKARU

Japanese

 

君の髪に花を飾ろうか
美しい季節は束の間だから
空には月明かり  君照らす
涙のわけなんて言わなくていいさ

      ポケットにコトバしまい
      今だけは愛し合おう

時の河のほとりに咲く花の名は  忘れな草

星座達は巡る  幾度でも
想い出の曲すら色あせてしまう

      永遠の岸辺に立ち
      微笑んで咲いておくれ

時の流れに巻き込まれもがいてる悲しい二人
Forget-me-not.  河のほとりに咲く青い花  忘れな草

      歳月は残酷だね
      何もかも奪ってゆく

時の流れに巻き込まれ溺れてく愚かな男
Forget-me-not.  河のほとりに咲く花の名は  忘れな草

Kimi no kami ni hana wo kazarou ka
Uttsukushii kisetsu wa tsuka no ma dakara
Sora ni wa tsuki akari  Kimi terasu
Namida no wake nante iwanakute ii sa

      Poketto ni kotoba shimai
      Ima dake wa aishiaou

Toki no kawa no hotori ni saku hana no na wa  Wasurenagusa

Seiza tachi wa meguru  Ikudo demo
Omoide no kyoku sura iro aseteshimau

      Eien no kishibe ni tachi
      Hohoende saite okure

Toki no nagare ni maki komare mogaiteiru kanashii futari
Forget-me-not.  Kawa no hotori ni saku aoi hana  Wasurenagusa

      Saigetsu wa zankoku da ne
      Nani mo ka mo ubatte yuku

Toki no nagare ni maki komare oboreteku orokana otoko
Forget-me-not.  Kawa no hotori ni saku hana no na wa  Wasurenagusa

Shall I adorn your hair with a flower?
For beautiful seasons are fleeting
Moonlight in the sky shining down on you
It’s alright, you don’t have to tell me the reason behind your tears

      Words will be kept away in my pockets
      So just for now, let us love

The flowers blooming by the River of Time are called Forget-me-nots

The constellations rotate, coming and going time and again
Even the song from your memories has faded away

      Stand on the shores of Eternity
      And bloom for me with a smile

Sad couple, entangled in the flow of time, struggling
Forget-me-not. Blue flowers blooming by the river Forget-me-not

      Isn’t time a cruel mistress²
      Stealing away anything and everything

Foolish man, entangled in the flow of time, drowning
Forget-me-not. Flowers blooming by river are called Forget-me-nots

 

Notes:

¹ Forget-me-nots represent various things like a true and undying love, remembrance during partings or after death, a connection that lasts through time, growing affection between two people, etc. In general, they stand for fidelity and loyalty in a relationship, despite separation or other challenges.

² Literal translation would’ve been: Time/the years are cruel, aren’t they
