Board a train the color of spring and take me to the beach I’ll snuggle gently into your shirt, which smells of cigarettes
How come we’ve known each other for half a year And you still won’t hold my hand?
I will follow you. I’d like to Follow you I will follow you. Though I may be A bit cowardly You're just that lovely a person
That’s why they bloomed on the banks of my heart: red sweet peas
Caught in an April shower, on a bench at the station together Not a single soul around, things suddenly awkward between us
How come whenever you glance at the time I feel like I might just start to cry?
I will follow you. Wearing boots With wings I will follow you. With you The same youth Is what I’d like to sprint through
The flower buds along the tracks are red sweet peas
I like you more than anyone I’ve met before today I will follow you. I love the way You go through life I can’t go home, no, not with things like this
The day spring arrived in my heart, there were red sweet peas
haru-iro no kisha ni notte umi ni tsurete itte yo tabako no nioi no shatsu ni sotto yorisou kara
naze shiri-atta hi kara hantoshi sugitemo anata tte te mo nigiranai?
I will follow you anata ni oite yukitai I will follow you choppiri ki ga yowai ga kedo suteki na hito dakara

naze anata ga tokei wo chiratto miru tabi nakisou na kibun ni naru no?
I will follow you tsubasa no haeta bu-tsu de I will follow you anata to onaji seishun hashitte yukitai no

kokoro ni haru ga kita hi wa akai sui-to pi-
Translator’s note: “Spring coming to (one’s) heart” is an expression often used poetically in Japanese to mean that a person’s fallen in love.
