petal Lyrics

Quote:
Along the usual never-changing
Road towards home
I met with a single
Unfamiliar flower

Its colour, shape, and all else
There was nothing I really liked about it, but
I couldn't help
But be captivated by it

Loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not
Plucking off the petals one by one
The last remaining petal
If only it can land on "he loves me"

When I woke up this morning
The flower was here with me
It had bloomed
Without showing even a sliver of fear

That must surely be why
I had been captivated by it
Carefully giving it some water
Let's do that

Loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not
Plucking off the petals one by one
The last remaining petal
Can I entrust myself to its fate?

Loves me, loves me not, loves me, loves me not
Plucking off the petals one by one
The last remaining petal
If only it can land on "he loves me"

Goodbye, goodbye
Plucking off the petals one by one
The last remaining petal
If it lands on "he loves me not"...

いつもと変わらない
帰り道の途中
見慣れぬ一輪の花に
出逢いました

色も形も何も
好みではなかったのに
どうしても
惹かれてしまいました

好き嫌い 好き嫌い
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残るひとひらが
好きな方であるといいのですが

今朝目が覚めたら
花は此処に在って
恐れのかけらも
見せずに咲いてました

そんなところがきっと
惹かれた理由なのでしょう
大切に水を替えて
行きましょう

好き嫌い 好き嫌い
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残るひとひらの
運命委ねてもいいですか

好き嫌い 好き嫌い
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残るひとひらが
好きな方であるといい

さようなら さようなら
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残るひとひらが
嫌いな方だったら…

Beautiful translation as always

There are two parts which I interpreted differently:
Spoiler:
恐れのかけらも
見せずに咲いてました
[The flower] had bloomed
Without showing even a sliver of fear

そんなところがきっと
惹かれた理由なのでしょう
That part (i.e. blooming fearlessly) is probably
The reason why I had been attracted to it

It reminds me of vogue's lyrics. Something like: it's 'scary' for a flower to bloom, because a flower knows it'll wither once it has finished blooming. That's my interpretation anyway

These lyrics further cement this song's place as my favorite of the new album tracks. The premise is just so, so great. I love when ayu goes metaphorical, it's so much more interesting.

Yours definitely make more sense. I knew there was something weird about the way I did those few lines, but just couldn't see why. Thanks for helping with this!!

I like very much the use of the metaphor.It gives the song a mysterious vibe and I must say that this song reminds me of Hana's lyrics.
