Geranium You: ゼラニウムの君

100 years knowledge

Like a cherry blossom but different

You broke through the earth

From pain and hardwork you were born

.

Because of loneliness you forgot how to smile

The Geranium you,

Wanted a flower to bloom next to you

.

Because of loneliness you forgot how to smile

But the Geranium you,

Being played by the capricious fate

Were brought to me

.

Because of loneliness you forgot how to smile

The Geranium you,

Brought a smile to me

.

Your pink petals

Like a blind fold

A talisman against nightmares

In this dark world

I became unable to walk this earth alone ever again

.

Because of loneliness you forgot how to smile

The Geranium you,

Brought a smile to me

You also became able to smile

.

Each of us being played by the capricious fate

Someday again I will grow next to you.

Geranium you,

Until that day

Because of loneliness

Do not lose sight of your smile .

Japanese Version:

100年の知識

桜みたいがさくらじゃない

君は土の天上を破れた。

動力と苦労から君は生まれた

孤独さで笑うこと忘れた

ゼラニウムの君

隣にお花咲いてほしかった。

孤独さで笑うこと忘れた

ゼラニウムの君

気まぐれ運命に振り回され、

君に出会った。

孤独さで笑うこと忘れた

ゼラニウムの君

私に笑顔をくれた。

君のピンク色の花びら

目隠しになり、

悪夢からのお守り

闇の世界

もう2度と一人でも歩けなくなった

孤独さで笑うこと忘れた

ゼラニウムの君

私に笑顔をくれた

君も笑うようになった

お互い気まぐれ運命に振り回され、

またいつか隣に咲いてあげる

セレニウムの君

あの日まで

孤独さで笑顔を見失うように
