Tuki | コトノハ (Kotonoha) Lyrics (English Translation)

(Verse 1)
With me hidden in your pocket,
With you hidden in my pocket,
Let’s talk about things we tried to avoid.
I just want things to feel lighter, unalloyed.

Someday, goodbye will surely arrive.
Before it does, give me all you keep hidden inside.

(Chorus)
I sowed seeds with words, so small and light.
You say with a bit more time, they’ll gain color, bright.
Is that how it is?
May the pain and the tears become seeds for new stories.
Only when the flowers bloom will I know this is alright.
Talk to me, listen to me, laugh with me,
About me.

(Verse 2)
What did I have in my pocket, unseen?
What was I hiding, a forgotten dream?
It’s not scary to remember what I somehow lost.
Goodbye is always back-to-back, I knew the cost.
Even though there were countless things I wished to say.

(Chorus)
I sowed seeds with words. How much time must pass, I ask,
Before we meet again? Are you listening, there in my past?
If I sow seeds with words, flowers will bloom somewhere.
I remember your promise. Is that how it is, fair?
May the pain and the tears become seeds for new stories.
I hope to share everything where the flowering glory is.
Whether we cry or we laugh, time flows the same way.
We’ll meet again, we’ll meet again. I believe, come what may.
