You left so long ago, why aren’t you returning?
You, who left behind a single leaf
Tears drench the branches
As the sound of the wind remains

One single leaf
On that thin branch
Even the moonlight is hidden by the clouds
Only adding onto the loneliness

The single leaf
Is it going to fall off from the birds chirping all night?
Even if you’re faraway, I hope it’ll blossom
The flower that hasn’t blossomed yet

You left so long ago, why aren’t you returning?
Did you stop along the way?
Rain drenches the pretty flower petals
With the long and cold wind

The crying leaf
On that thin branch
It’s trembling sadly
To make that flower blossom alone

Even the birds are tired of crying
After they have left
I’m still there where you left me
Hoping that the flower will blossom
