Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

さくら ひらひら 舞い降りて落ちて
揺れる 想いのたけを 抱きしめた
君と 春に 願いし あの夢は
今も見えているよ さくら舞い散る
Ah
Ah

電車から 見えたのは いつかのおもかげ
ふたりで通った 春の大橋
卒業の ときが来て 君は故郷(まち)を出た
色づく川辺に あの日を探すの

それぞれの道を選び ふたりは春を終えた
咲き誇る明日(みらい)は あたしを焦らせて
小田急線の窓に 今年もさくらが映る
君の声が この胸に 聞こえてくるよ

さくら ひらひら 舞い降りて落ちて
揺れる 想いのたけを 抱きしめた
君と 春に 願いし あの夢は
今も見えているよ さくら舞い散る

書きかけた 手紙には 「元気でいるよ」と
小さな嘘は 見透かされるね
めぐりゆく この街も 春を受け入れて
今年もあの花が つぼみをひらく

君がいない日々を超えて あたしも大人になっていく
こうやって全て忘れていくのかな
「本当に好きだったんだ」 さくらに手を伸ばす
この想いが 今 春に つつまれていくよ

さくら ひらひら 舞い降りて落ちて
揺れる 想いのたけを 抱き寄せた
君が くれし 強き あの言葉は
今も 胸に残る さくら舞いゆく

Ah
さくら ひらひら 舞い降りて落ちて
揺れる 想いのたけを 抱きしめた
遠き 春に 夢見し あの日々は
空に消えていくよ

さくら ひらひら 舞い降りて落ちて
春のその向こうへと歩き出す
君と 春に 誓いし この夢を 強く




胸に抱いて さくら舞い散る
Ah

Overall Meaning

The song "Sakura" is a beautiful ballad that speaks about the nostalgic feelings of a girl towards her memories with her loved one during spring, a time of new beginnings and love. The song captures the essence of the sakura or the cherry blossom, which symbolizes the ephemeral nature of life and love. The fluttering petals that "dance, fall and scatter" on the ground represent the fleeting moments of happiness, memories and love that she holds onto dearly.


The first verse captures the memories of a girl and her loved one walking over a spring bridge, seeing sakura petals fall around them. The second verse shows how they parted ways because the boy had to leave to his hometown to graduate, while the girl stayed behind on her own. The chorus speaks of how she holds onto that memory, that dream of being together during that time in spring when sakura petals dance around them once again.


The third verse speaks of how she writes letters to her loved one, but struggles to come up with words to say. She knows that small lies and lies by omission will be seen through easily, so she wonders how she can communicate her feelings. Finally, the last section speaks of moving on, but overcoming struggles and remembering that love she held so dear.


Overall, the song encapsulates the love, loss, and growth that people experience in their lives, especially during springtime. The sakura and its petals symbolize how life and love are fleeting, but also how they will always come back renewed each spring.

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.
