Hamasaki, Ayumi - Flower Lyrics

[Romanized:]

Me wo tojite ukanda no wa
Kore made no ayunda michi
Mou sugu de hana saku koro
Ano koro wa tanoshimi datta

Yasashiku waratteta kimi wa
Doko e kieta no deshou

Hana ni natte toge wo motte karete chitte kuchi hatetai
Hirowanaide hanaretette wasuretette
Ame ni natte kiri ni natte sono mama de nurete itai
Yoko ni natte nemuku natte hitori ni shite

Yubi karame aruita no wa
Oite kita ano kokyou
Ima omoeba shiawase dato
Ieru hi mo sugoshi mashita

Te wo hiite kureta kimi no
Nukumori ga nokotteru

Tamerawanaide douse nara todome sashite owarasete
Warawanaide tsumetai me de uso ga heta ne
Tori ni natte kaze ni notte ano basho wo mezashitai
Itami mo nai ai mo nai mukougawa e

Yasashiku waratteta kimi wa
Doko e kieta no deshou

Hana ni natte toge wo motte karete chitte kuchi hatetai
Hirowanaide hanaretette wasuretette
Tamerawanaide douse nara todome sashite owarasete
Warawanaide tsumetai me de uso ga heta ne

[Japanese:]

目を閉じて浮かんだのは
これまでの歩んだ道
もう直ぐで花咲く頃
あの頃は楽しみだった

優しく笑ってた君は
何処へ消えたのでしょう

花になって棘をもって枯れて散って朽ち果てたい
拾わないで離れてって　忘れてって

雨になって霧になってそのままで濡れていたい
横になって眠くなって　独りにして

指絡め歩いたのは
置いてきたあの故郷
今思えば幸せだと
言える日も過ごしました

手を引いてくれた君の
温もりが残ってる

躊躇わないでどうせならトドメ刺して終わらせて
笑わないで冷たい目で　嘘が下手ね

鳥になって風に乗ってあの場所を目指したい
痛みもない愛もない　向こう側へ

優しく笑ってた君は
何処へ消えたのでしょう

花になって棘をもって枯れて散って朽ち果てたい
拾わないで離れてって　忘れてって

躊躇わないでどうせならトドメ刺して終わらせて
笑わないで冷たい目で　嘘が下手ね

[English translation:]

What surfaces when I close my eyes
Is the road I've walked up till now
It'll soon be time for the flowers to bloom
I used to look forward to it

The you who smiled so kindly
Where have you disappeared to?

I want to turn into a flower with thorns, and wilt, scatter, crumble to dust
Don't pick me up, just leave and forget me

I want to turn into rain, into fog, and be drenched
Let me lie down and go to sleep, leave me alone

We used to walk with fingers entwined
In the hometown I left behind
Thinking about it now, the days
When I was happy are over

The you who pulled me along by hand
Your warmth lingers

Don't hesitate, just deliver the last blow and end this
Don't smile with such cold eyes, you just can't lie

I want to turn into a bird, ride on the wind towards that place
To the other side with neither pain nor love

The you who smiled so kindly
Where have you disappeared to?

I want to turn into a flower with thorns, and wilt, scatter, crumble to dust
Don't pick me up, just leave and forget me

Don't hesitate, just deliver the last blow and end this
Don't smile with such cold eyes, you just can't lie
