The color of blooms, shades of the moon Ripples in the water, in the wind’s hues
The flow of time paints with those colors As it carries away people’s dreams
In the spring, flowers cast shadows across the water The bright laughter of young ladies in the air In the summer, brimming with silver elation I think of a glimmer eternal
In the reflection will be love’s shadow One day it will, ever so beautiful
Morning colors, evening hues A babbling brook, shades of sound
As time goes by, the love people feel It’s shown in the water, then vanishes in it too
In the fall, as I recall crimson fallen leaves I hear a sweet song about a first love In the winter, powder snow keeps me in As I think of Poseidon in the distance
hana no iro tsuki no iro sazanami wa kaze no iro
toki no nagare iro de egaki hito no yume wo hakobi-nagara
haru ni wa hanakage ga minamo wo umete otome no hanayaka na koe ga suru natsu ni wa gin-iro no kou wo yadoshi kuon no kagayaki wo omou
utsuru nara ai no kage itsunohika utsukushiku
asa no iro yuu no iro seseragi wa oto no iro
toki wa meguri hito no ai wa mizu ni haete mizu ni kiete
aki ni wa kurenai no kareha wo ukabe yasashii hatsukoi no uta wo kiku fuyu ni wa konayuki ni tozasare-nagara haruka na wadatsumi wo omou
