Title : 美しきゆえ散るは花 / Beautiful yet fall away

by AriteAL

「美しきゆえ散るは花」──桜は散る。散る姿が美しいからこそ散らずにはいられない。別れの季節は寂しいけれど、その別れにこそ浮世の風情が宿るもの。散り際の美しさは、ただ儚いだけではなく、新たな出逢いや再生への希望を鮮やかに照らします。この曲は、誰もが経験する切ない別離の記憶と、そこから芽吹く未来への予感を、桜が散る情景になぞらえて描きました。

"Beautiful yet fall away" —Cherry blossoms fall precisely because their beauty lies in the act of scattering. Parting seasons are sorrowful, yet within each goodbye dwells the delicate charm of fleeting moments. Their graceful farewell isn't merely ephemeral; it gently illuminates new beginnings and hopes of rebirth. This song captures the bittersweet memories of separation that we all experience, entwined with the subtle promise of new life, all vividly reflected in the falling petals of cherry blossoms.

美しきゆえ　散るは花

わずかの光を　頼りに咲いて

遠ざかる列車の轟音(とどろき)

二つの影すら　かすむ駅舎

指先で結んだ　かすかな温度が

花のように散る　運命を知らぬまま

美しきゆえ　散るは花

逢瀬の刹那に　わずかな熱(ぬくもり)

惜しむかと問えば　否と微笑み

迷いの夜こそ　想いが鮮やか

人知れず書き溜めた手紙

風に流され　行き先も知れず

それでも胸奥に　灯る微熱は

散りゆく花弁を　惜しまぬ覚悟

美しきゆえ　散るは花

儚さ信じて　今を重ね合う

朧月の下で　淡い未来さえ

霧に消えても　忘れはしない

美しきゆえ　すべて散る

それでも宿る　遥かな面影

追いつけない距離を　誰が咎めよう

届かぬ明日さえ　花は照らすよ

散りてこそ　浮世の風情かな

美しきゆえに　咲くことは恐れず

人は過ぎゆく　時を抱きしめて

いつか来る春に　また咲き誇る

Flowers bloom, beautiful yet fall away

Guided only by a fleeting ray of light

Echoes fading softly as the train departs

Two shadows blur beneath the beating hearts

The faint warmth still lingers where our fingers touched

Unaware, we wished upon the petals as they scattered

Flowers bloom, beautiful yet fall away

Holding warmth for moments that won't last the night

Ask me if I regret, I'll answer with a smile

Within uncertain darkness, love shines ever bright

Letters I had written, hidden from your eyes

Swept away by winds, uncertain where they'll land

But deep within my heart a gentle fire burns

Ready to accept each petal slipping through my hands

Flowers bloom, beautiful yet fall away

Trusting in the fragile bond we've made tonight

Underneath the hazy moon, the dreams we've softly shared

Even if they fade away, I'll hold them ever tight

Flowers bloom, though everything must fall away

Still your memory stays clearly in my heart

Distances too great—who can say they're wrong?

Even paths we'll never walk are shining from afar

Because flowers fall, this fleeting life holds beauty

Never fear to bloom, despite the ending near

Hold each passing moment tightly in your arms

When spring returns again, we'll bloom without a tear
