サルスベリの揺れる頃
泰山木の誇らしい咲き姿    何も言わずに語る命の輝き
微笑みにそっと引き寄せられて    甘い香りに甦る想い出

土の匂い    太陽の匂い    夕暮れ時の優しい声
体中で受け止めた今日が    静かな夜を連れてやってくる

庭先に咲いたサルスベリの花    風に揺られて何かにうなずいた
スケッチブックと鉛筆片手に    腰を下ろした縁側のぬくもり

白い紙に描いた花々    空に浮かべて    眺めていた午後
誰かがそっと頭を撫でて    夢の続きを守ってくれてた

時はあまりにも早く流れすぎた    数え切れない場面は宝物
大事な想い出はどこか奥の方へ    しまっておこう    必要な時まで
SARUSUBERI no Yureru koro
Taisanboku no hokorashii saki sugata    nanimo iwazu ni kataru inochi no kagayaki
Hohoemi ni sotto hikiyoserarete    amai kaori ni yomigaeru omoide

Tsuchi no nioi    taiyou no nioi    yuugure toki no yasashii koe
Karadajuu de uketometa kyou ga    shizuka na yoru wo tsurete yattekuru

Niwasaki ni saita SARUSUBERI no hana    kaze ni yurarete nanika ni unazuita
SUKECCHIBUKKU to enpitsu katate ni    koshi wo oroshita engawa no nukumori

Shiroi kami ni kaita hanabana    sora ni ukabete    nagameteita gogo
Dareka ga sotto atama wo nadete    yume no tsudzuki wo mamottekureteta

Toki wa amari ni mo hayaku nagaresugita    kazoekirenai bamen wa takaramono
Daiji na omoide wa dokoka oku no hou e    shikatteokou    hitsuyou na toki made
When the Crape Myrtle Sway
The form of evergreen magnolia blooming proudly, conveying life's sparkle without saying a word,
Drawing you softly to its smile, provoking resurfacing memories with its sweet scent.

The smell of the earth, the smell of the sun, a kind voice in the twilight,
The today I accepted through my body calls forth a quiet night.

The flowers of the crape myrtle, blooming in the garden, look as if they're nodding at something as they sway in the wind.
I feel the porch's warmth as I sit with my sketchbook and pencil in hand.

Flowers drawn on the white paper, floating in the sky, gazing at the afternoon,
Someone softly patted my head and protected the continuation of my dream.

Time has passed all too quickly, the countless scenes that have taken place are my treasures.
I'll put those precious memories away somewhere deep inside me, until I need them.
