Senbonzakura English lyrics
[Verse 1]
The trendy Western revolution was bold and undaunted
This is an openhearted and easygoing pacifist nation
Pedaling a bicycle with the Circle of the Sun mark
I expel evil spirits with ICBM

Running down the looping highway, I don’t care that I’m constantly on the move
Boys and girls are unrivaled in the warring states, at the mercy of the transient world

[Verse 2]
A thousand sakura trees are under the cover of night, and not even your voice can reach me
Here is a banquet—the jail of steel—so look down from your guillotine

In the eternal darkness of the whole wide world, I can’t even hear the song of grief
So shoot out the far side of the indigo sky with your raygun

[Chorus]
How you look after getting hardened by hundreds of battles is like an officer
The procession of courtesans comes and goes
Each and every one of you, get together
It’ll be a march of saints—one, two, three, four

[Bridge]
Passing through the gate of Dhyāna meditation, I exorcise the Peaceful and Pure Land
Surely there’s a grand finale at the closing of the curtains between the applause
[Chorus]
A thousand sakura trees are under the cover of night, and not even your voice can reach me
Here is a banquet—the jail of steel—so look down from your guillotine

[Verse 3]
In the eternal darkness of the whole wide world, I can’t even hear the song of grief
So launch your flashbang at the far side of the hill of hope

Running down the looping highway, I don’t care that I’m constantly on the move
Boys and girls are unrivaled in the warring states, at the mercy of the transient world

[Chorus]
A thousand sakura trees are under the cover of night, and not even your voice can reach me
Here is a banquet—the jail of steel—so jump down from your guillotine

A thousand sakura trees are under the cover of night, you shall sing and I shall dance
Here is a banquet—the jail of steel—so c’mon, fire away with your raygun
