translation
don’t let go of this hand, don’t let go
because i’ll be by your side
no matter when, smile! smile!
the flower will bloom

the flower you like the most has bloomed

the flower with a small thorn bloomed this morning
i wonder if i should protect that thorn
the lone strong flower resembles you

the gentleness becomes as painful as i know

because you and the warmth of your falling tears know

i want to see you, i want to see you

if it gets lonely even when the two of us are together
let’s hold hands until the loneliness disappears
don’t let go of this hand, don’t let go
because i will be by your side
no matter when, smile! smile!
the flower will bloom

if you send a smile to a star somewhere

just looking up at the sky makes me happy

even trivial things become precious to me

because the flower that is you bloomed in my heart

i want to see you, i want to see you

if it gets as lonely even when the two of us are together
let’s hold hands until the loneliness disappears
don’t let go of this hand, don’t let go
i will be by your side
no matter when, smile! you can cry, because
i’m with you

if there’s no water, it will wither, so

that thorn can’t protect anything at all
it’s the lone strong flower
the thorn doesn’t hurt, so don’t cry anymore

i won’t let go of this hand, won’t let go

if it gets as lonely even when the two of us are together
let’s hold hands until the loneliness disappears
even if that small thorn hurts my hand

その手離さないで　離さないで

僕がそばにいるから

どんな時でも　笑って　笑って

花を咲かせてよ

君の大好きな花が咲いたよ

小さなトゲのある花が今朝咲いたよ

そのトゲで時分を守れるつもりかな

強がってばっかりの花　君みたいだね

優しさを知るほど　切なくなるんだ

君が流してきた涙の温もりと知ってから

君に会いたくて　会いたくて

二人でいればいるほど　寂しくなるなら

寂しくなくなるまで手を繋ごう

その手離さないで　離さないで

僕がそばにいるから

どんな時でも　笑って　笑って
花を咲かせてよ

君がどっかの星に微笑みかけるなら

空を見上げるだけで　幸せになるんだ

何気ないことも　愛しく思うのは

君という名の花が　この胸に咲いたから

君に会いたくて　会いたくて

二人でいればいるほど　寂しくなるなら

寂しくなくなるまで手を繋ごう

その手離さないで　離さないで

僕がそばにいるよ

どんな時でも　笑って　泣いてあげるから

そばにいて

水をあげなきゃ　枯れてしまうから

そんなトゲじゃ何も　守れないよ

強がってばっかりの花なんだ

そのトゲで傷つかないね　そんなにもう泣かないで

その手離さないよ　離さないよ

二人でいればいるほど　寂しくなるなら

寂しくなくなるまで手を繋ごう

小さなそのトゲで僕の手をたとえ傷つけても
