Sakura
いきものがかり Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

花は桜 君は美し
春の木漏れ日 君の微笑み
冬が終わり 雪が溶けて
君の心に 春が舞い込む

窓をたたく強い雨はまだ続くと
ラジオから流れる声が
伝えています
電話から聞こえた声は
泣いていました
忘れたはずの懐かしい声でした
君はまた もう一度
あの頃に戻りたいのでしょうか
春を待つ つぼみのように
僕は今 迷っています

花は桜 君は美し
春の木漏れ日 君の微笑み
冬が終わり 雪が溶けて
君の心に 春が舞い込む

変わらぬ街の景色が教えるのは
ひとつだけここに
足りないものでした
「いつもの場所」と決めていた駅の前
揺れ動く心が僕を急がせます

僕はまた もう一度
君の手を握りたいのでしょうか
春を抱く かすみのように
僕は今 揺らいでいます

花は香り 君はうるわし
水面に浮かぶ 光が踊る
風が騒ぎ 街は色めく
僕の心は 春に戸惑う

春はまた もう一度
この花を咲かせたいのでしょうか
僕を待つ 君の傘が
あの駅に 開いています

花は桜 君は美し
春の木漏れ日 君の微笑み
時に燃える 春の吐息
二人の時が 春に重なる
花は桜 君は美し
春の木漏れ日 君の微笑み




冬が終わり 雪が溶けて
僕の心に 春が舞い込む

Overall Meaning

The song "SAKURA" by Ikimonogakari is a poignant reflection on how quickly time passes and how memories can stay with us forever. The opening lines talk about the cherry blossoms, which are a symbol of springtime in Japan, and how they dance in the wind and embrace the singer's thoughts. The singer then recalls a memory of walking across a bridge with someone special and watching the cherry blossoms fall from the trees. The season of spring, with all its beauty, evokes memories of the past, when the singer and this person were still together.


The next verse shifts to the present and how the singer has moved on with their life, just like the cherry blossoms have fallen from the trees. They think of the person who left their hometown and moved away, leaving the singer to wander through their own separate paths. But even though time has passed and they've both become adults, the singer still cherishes the memory of that past love. In the end, the singers "embraces" the memories they have and walk forward, taking comfort in the cherry blossoms that still fall around them.


Overall, the lyrics of "SAKURA" express the bittersweet nature of memories and how they can linger long after the events that created them. It's a song that encourages us to take a moment to reflect on the past, to appreciate the present beauty around us, and to continue dreaming of a future that's bright and full of possibilities.

Whenever I hear this song I feel my heart is aching in sorrow. Her voice is so painful yet so soothing I just can't stop praising her voice. Her voice takes away all my pain and sorrow.
