(Lyrics)

やさしさを　押し流す
Yasashisa wo oshi-nagasu
Pushing through the tenderness
愛　それは川
Ai, sore wa kawa
Love, that is a river
魂を　切り裂く
Tamashii wo kiri-saku
Cutting your soul to bleed
愛　それはナイフ
Ai, sore wa knife
Love, that is a knife

とめどない　渇きが
Tomedonai kawaki ga
Some say love it is a hunger
愛だと　いうけれど
Ai dato iu keredo
for endless aching need
愛は花　生命の花
Ai wa hana, inochi no hana
I say love it is a flower, a flower of life
きみは　その種子
Kimi wa sono tane
And you, you are its seed

挫けるのを　恐れて
Kujikeru no wo osorete
It's the heart, afraid of breaking
躍らない　きみのこころ
Odoranai kimi no kokoro
That never learns to dance
醒めるのを　恐れて
Sameru no wo osorete
It's the dream, afraid of waking
チャンス逃す　きみの夢
Chance nogasu ki no yume
That never takes the chance

奪われるのが　嫌さに
Ubawareru noga iyasa ni
It's the heart that won't be taken
与えない　こころ
Ataenai kokoro
and cannot seem to give
死ぬのを　恐れて
Shinu no wo osorete
And the soul, afraid of dying
生きることができない
Ikiru koto ga dekinai
That never learns to live

長い夜　ただひとり
Nagai yoru tada hitori
When the night has been too lonely
遠い道　ただひとり
Tooi michi tada hitori
And the road has been too long
愛なんて　来やしない
Ai nante kiyashinai
Love will never come
そう　おもうときには
Sou omou toki niwa
when you think like that

思いだしてごらん　冬
Omoi-dashite goran fuyu
Just remember in the winter
雪に　埋もれていても
Yuki ni umorete itemo
Even though it is covered by snows
種子は春　おひさまの
Tane wa haru ohisama no
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
愛で　花ひらく
Ai de hana hiraku
In the spring blooms the flower
