青葉市子 (Ichiko Aoba)
Shigatsu no Shitaku (English Translation)
四月の支度 / April Preparations
Floating on a breeze
Secretly I shall slip
Into your windblown hair
Like clipping away a new landscape
Seen from my bicycle
Tethering the scene with a chain
You can steal
Even the warmth I carry in my pocket
I won't mind
As long as it's you
A quiet town
Nostalgic like an old canteen
Living by your side
Like a dream
Even the peril
Of the tremors to come
Melts sweetly
Into the springtime light
