Lyrics
Verse 1
Cutting oil mist, ammonia from blueprints
Cam-driven fatigue rig counting each stroke
At eight-seven-four-two the spring snaps clean
Loupe on the inner coil, tracing the break
(日本語訳)
切削油の霧 青焼き図面のアンモニア臭
カム式疲労試験機がストロークを刻む
8742回目で バネが音を立てて弾ける
ルーペで内側コイルの破断面を確認する
Pitch drifts wide past the seventh coil
Uneven temper color on SWP-A wire
Guide pin worn by point-oh-three
This micro spring decides the machine shop’s fate
七巻き目以降でピッチが広がる
SWP-A線に焼き戻し色のむら
ガイドピンが0.03ミリ摩耗
この超小型バネが 工場の命運を握っている
Pre-Chorus 1
Main power off on the coiling machine
Magnet rod snaps up iron swarf
Shutter drops, padlock set in place
My steps turn toward the park
コイリングマシンの主電源を落とす
磁石棒で鉄の切粉を吸い寄せる
シャッターを下ろし 南京錠をかける
足は公園のほうへ向かう
Chorus 1
I stop beneath the cherry trees
A sudden gust sends petals wide
My whole world turns pale pink
Through the falling bloom I see
A woman waiting on the bench
Her eyes meet mine — I’m caught inside
桜の木の下で立ち止まる
突風が花びらを広く舞い上げる
視界が 淡い桜色に染まる
舞い落ちる桜の向こうに見える
ベンチに座る ひとりの女性
視線が合って 心を奪われる
Verse 2
“Beautiful…” the word slips from my lips
She looks at the blossoms — “Yes, it is true”
Fine silk, the Paulownia crest on her sleeve
Ichijo crest — my blood runs cold
「綺麗だ…」 思わず言葉がこぼれていた
彼女は桜を見つめ 「本当に綺麗ですね」と答える
上質な絹の着物 袖に入った五三の桐の紋
一条家の家紋だと気付いて 血の気が引く
“Are you a craftsman?” she asks me
“Honda Precision is my small machine shop”
“The floating yen must be hard on you”
Those clear eyes find me, my heart skips a beat
「職人さん でいらっしゃいますか？」と尋ねられ
「本田精密という小さな町工場です」と答える
「円が変動相場になって さぞお辛いでしょうね」
その澄んだ瞳に見つめられ 鼓動が跳ね上がる
Pre-Chorus 2
I took the shop when my father died
I blurt out my passion for the spring
Martensitic change and residual stress
Hydrogen embrittlement, austenite grains
親父を亡くして 跡を継いだこと
超小型バネについて熱弁してしまう
マルテンサイト変態 残留応力
水素脆化 オーステナイト結晶粒
Chorus 2
The petals drift like falling snow
Her whole world turns pale pink
Through the cherry storm she speaks
"I know nothing of machines"
"But true strength lies in being soft"
Her words bring light into my gloom
花びらが雪のように漂って
彼女の世界を淡い桜色に変えていく
桜の嵐の中で 彼女は言う
「機械のことは存じておりませんが
本当の強さとは しなやかさの中にあるのでは」
その一言が 暗闇の中に光をもたらした
Bridge
That soft hint gave birth to our lasting spring
Our small shop rose above the shifting tide
She left her noble name to walk by my side
Becoming the true heart of Honda Precision
With a gentle soul and a will of forged steel
その柔らかなヒントが 耐久性のあるバネを生み出した
我々の小さな工場は 激動の荒波を乗り越えた
彼女は名家を捨て 私の傍らを歩む道を選び
本田精密の おかみさんとなって支えてくれた
穏やかな情愛と 折れることのない芯の強さで
Chorus 3
I sit on the bench as she lifts a small glass slab
“A phone is left here,” her voice is soft
I look up as the petals fill the sky
The tea she poured stays on my knee
I see the girl from Ichijo
Her silver hair shines in the sun
ベンチに腰を下ろす
彼女が小さなガラスの板を拾い上げる
「スマホの忘れ物だわ」 彼女の穏やかな声
見上げれば 桜が空を埋め尽くしていく
彼女が淹れてくれたお茶が 膝の上にある
一条家のお嬢様が 僕を見つめている
その銀色の髪が 日差しに透けて輝いている
Final Chorus
The spring wind blows, scattering petals through the air
Everything melts into the pale pink haze
I drift away in the warmth of the glow
Surrounded by the blossoms and the shine
春風が吹き 花びらが舞い散る
すべてのものが 淡い桜色の霞に溶けていく
溢れる光の温もりに 僕はただ漂っている
咲き誇る桜と 煌めきに包まれながら
The wrinkled hand holds me so tight
I smile with her
in the cherry blossom storm
within our lasting spring
深く刻まれた皺の手が 僕を強く握りしめている
僕は彼女と共に笑っている
降りしきる桜吹雪の中で
終わらない春とともに
