So far away Yet very near A blooming maze A cherry blossom world For humming birds But for cherries we will not go weeping To give a chance to this day There was a sky Where roses thrived But now the world It turns to prose, not flies It has no time Who would weep for fragrant flowers? Who could want to hug a summer? For when forests burn then no one weeps About a rose We're the only souls No one else regards A rose's charm As dear as gold ♪ Fruit trees in bloom Pass very soon A hummingbird Exhilarates us With his lovely tune Who would weep for cherry blossoms? Soon enough they would have fallen Much more pressing things are waving through The blooming trees We're the only souls Under a new moon When forests burn Then no one trusts A rose will last Except for us
