kanji & kana

    GIVE ME FIVE!

    桜の歌が街に流れ
    あっと言う間だった別れの日
    校舎の壁のその片隅
    みんなでこっそり寄せ書きした

    制服は
    もう脱ぐんだ
    春の風に吹かれながら
    どんな花も
    やがては散って
    新しい夢を見る

    友よ
    思い出より
    輝いてる
    明日(あす)を信じよう
    そう 卒業とは
    出口じゃなく
    入り口だろう
    友よ
    それぞれの道
    進むだけだ
    サヨナラを言うな
    また すぐに会える
    だから 今は
    ハイタッチしよう

    何枚 写真を撮ってみても
    大事だったものは残せない
    ケンカして口きいてなかった
    あいつとなぜか肩を組んでた

    まだ誰も
    帰らなくて
    教室が狭く見えるよ
    名残惜しい
    時間の先に
    僕らの未来がある


    堪(こら)えるより
    生まれてから
    一番 泣いてみよう
    そう つらいことは
    まだまだある
    慣れておこうぜ

    ぐしゃぐしゃの顔
    見せ合ったら
    何でも話せるね
    一生の親友だ
    忘れるなよ
    ハイタッチしよう

    友よ
    思い出より
    輝いてる
    明日(あす)を信じよう
    そう 卒業とは
    出口じゃなく
    入り口だろう
    友よ
    巡り逢えて
    最高だった
    青春の日々に
    まだ 言えなかった
    ありがとうを
    ハイタッチで…

english translation

    GIVE ME FIVE!

    The sakura song plays on the streets
    The day of farewells comes in the blink of an eye
    On the corner walls of the school building
    Everyone secretly wrote their own messages

    There's no need to wear uniforms anymore!
    Being swayed amidst the spring wind,
    All sorts of flowers scatter about
    to find a new dream

    Hey friend, for all the memories we had
    let's believe that tomorrow will shine even brighter
    That's right, graduation is not the end but a new beginning
    Hey friend, just head on in your own path
    Don't say goodbye
    We will meet again very soon
    So let's high five for now

    No matter how many pictures we tried to take
    We couldn't capture what was important
    We argued and never made up
    So why did we put our arms around each other

    Since everyone is still here,
    The classroom seems so small now
    What lies ahead of our reluctant farewell
    Is our future

    Tears, instead of holding them back
    Try letting it all out like you have never before
    That's right, adverse situations are still sure to come
    So cry out to your hearts contents now!
    Tears, all over our sopping faces
    When we see that we open up to each other
    You're my friend for life
    Don't forget that
    Let's high five

    Hey friend, for all the memories we had
    Let's believe that tomorrow will shine even brighter
    That's right, graduation is not the end but a new beginning
    Hey friend, I am glad I met you during those youthful days
    I still couldn't say it
    so I'll express my thanks with a high five instead


    Sakura songs flow through the streets,
    And in a blink of time, it's time to say goodbye.
    In the corner on the school's wall,
    Everyone secretly signs their names.

    Our uniforms
    Are already off
    By the time the spring breeze blows by.
    Before long
    The flowers fall,
    And we see a new dream.

    My friend, from experience,
    I believe that tomorrow will be shining.
    So, graduation is just an exit,
    And then an entrance.
    My friend, every path
    Only goes forward.
    Don't say 'goodbye,'
    And we'll meet again soon.
    So, now let's high five!

    The many pictures that we took
    Are now important things we hold onto.
    The gossipers that would fight
    Are now patting each other's backs.

    Not yet has everyone
    Came back
    And looked into the small classroom.
    Regretting
    Our earlier times
    Is our future.

    Tears come from a child,
    And they cry for the first time after being born
    So, not all of the bitter things have come,
    And so we're not used to them yet.
    Tears are on the wet faces that
    We show each other.
    We completely understand that
    We have forgotten our lifelong friends,
    So let's high five!

    My friend, from experience,
    I believe that tomorrow will be shining.
    So, graduation is just an exit,
    And then an entrance.
    My friend, we met by chance
    They were the best days in my youth
    Not yet, is it possible to say
    'Thank you' to you,
    So, let's high five!


    The song of cherry trees flows through the city
    In the blink of an eye, it's the day we must part
    In the corner of the school wall,
    we secretly wrote our names all together

    Already we'll
    take off our uniforms
    As they're blown in the spring wind,
    flowers will eventually bloom,
    no matter what sort they are
    Dreaming a new dream

    My friends, let's believe in
    a tomorrow that's shining brighter than memories
    So, I think graduation isn't an exit,
    but an entrance
    My friends, we'll just advance
    on our respective paths
    Don't say goodbye, for we'll meet again soon
    So, right now, let's high-five

    No matter how many pictures we try to take,
    we can't save the things that were special
    I quarreled and didn't apologize to her,
    yet for some reason we linked arms

    Still, no one wants to go back
    to the narrow classroom they can see
    Ahead of regretful times
    exists our future

    Rather than fighting back tears,
    let's try crying more than we ever have since birth
    Painful things still exist, so
    let's get used to them now
    If we show each other our tears, on faces
    crumpled in sorrow, we can speak of anything
    Friends of a lifetime
    Don't forget that
    Let's high-five

    My friends, let's believe in
    a tomorrow that's shining brighter than memories
    So, I think graduation isn't an exit,
    but an entrance
    My friends, meeting you by chance
    was the best
    I still couldn't speak of those youthful days,
    so thank you, with a high-five...
