Lyrics to the Japanese folk song "Sakura

Title: Sakura

Arrangement: Shu Shimizu

Lyrics:

Sakura, Sakura?

Sakura! Sakura!

Nozanmorimo

The sky in March in late spring

See Wattasu Limeri

Miles and miles of cloudless clarity

Kasumi Kayunka?

Like colorful clouds

What do you think of the sunrise?

How beautiful is the fragrance

Sakura, Sakura?

Sakura! Cherry blossoms!

Flower Zakari?

Going to see the cherry blossoms together
