One Heart One Flower

My 300th post on this site, nice.
This song was somehow a big pain to put into English though. I needed to have my unofficial editor come in and help make tons of changes before it started to sound alright.

ONE STEP 踏み出す　心　揺れる　光
TWO STEPS 広がる　新しい　光
甘い香り　閉じ込めたままで
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

ONE STEP fumi dasu kokoro yureru hikari
TWO STEPS hirogaru atarashii hikari
amai kaori toji kometa mama de
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

ONE STEP my heart takes and light flickers
TWO STEPS and the new light spreads
with a sweet scent contained within
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

声を忘れた　花の色は
優しい思い出に触れて
また何度でも輝き出す（美しく）鮮やかに

koe o wasureta hana no iro wa
yasashii omoide ni furete
mata nando demo kagayaki dasu (utsukushiku) azayaka ni

The colour of the flower who forgot its voice
touches upon fond memories
then shines again infinitely (beautifully) vibrantly

温かい日差しの中　歩き出して出会う心
ひとつふたつ　数えては　新しい花　ひとつ咲いた

atatakai hizashi no naka aruki dashite de au kokoro
hitotsu futatsu kazoete wa atarashii hana hitotsu saita

In the warm sunshine, I walk forth meeting hearts
Upon counting one or two, a single new flower has bloomed

ONE HEART 孤独と向き合う痛み
TO HEART 繰り返す出会いと別れ
甘い香り　焼き付いたままで
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

ONE HEART kodoku to muki au itami
TO HEART kuri kaesu deai to wakare
amai kaori yaki tsuita mama de
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

ONE HEART, the pain of facing isolation
TO HEART, repeating meetings and partings
with a sweet scent seared in
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

歌を忘れた　花の色は
優しい思い出に揺れて
また何度でも響いて行く（美しく）鮮やかに

uta o wasureta hana no iro wa
yasashii omoide ni yurete
mata nando demo hibiite yuku (utsukushiku) azayaka ni

The colour of the flower who forgot its song
sways in fond memories
then resonates again infinitely (beautifully) vibrantly

前向いて　進んだ先に
描いてた未来　手を繋いで
頼りないけど　一人に一つの花（かけがえのない）力になる
前向いて　選んだ先に
新しい世界が待っていて
またきっと　出会える　新しい　色とりどりの花

mae muite susunda saki ni
egaiteta mirai te o tsunaide
tayorinai kedo hitori ni hitotsu no hana (kakegae no nai) chikara ni naru
mae muite eranda saki ni
atarashii sekai ga matteite
mata kitto de aeru atarashii irotoridori no hana

After facing forward and advancing
you’ll find the future you pictured, hand in hand
It’s not reliable, but for each person is a flower serving as (an irreplaceable) power
After facing forward and choosing your path
a new world will be waiting
I’m sure you’ll be able to meet new colourful flowers again

(One heart / One flower / One World)

温かい風に吹かれて　走り出して踊る心
泣いていた過去に　さよなら　新しい花　ひとつ咲いた
素敵なものばかりが　大切なわけじゃないけど
ひとつふたつ　集めては　新しい花　ひとつ咲いた

atatakai kaze ni fukarete hashiri dashite odoru kokoro
naiteita kako ni sayonara atarashii hana hitotsu saita
suteki na mono bakari ga taisetsu na wake janai kedo
hitotsu futatsu ateumsete wa atarashii hana hitotsu saita

Blown by a warm wind, my heart starts running and dances
Farewell to the past when I cried, a new flower has bloomed
Lovely things alone are by no means important
but after gathering one or two, a new flower has bloomed

ONE STEP 踏み出す　心　揺れる　光
TWO STEPS 広がる　新しい　光
甘い香り　閉じ込めたままで
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

ONE STEP fumi dasu kokoro yureru hikari
TWO STEPS hirogaru atarashii hikari
amai kaori toji kometa mama de
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

ONE STEP my heart takes and light flickers
TWO STEPS and the new light spreads
with a sweet scent contained within
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

声を忘れた　花の色は
優しい思い出に触れて
また何度でも輝き出す（美しく）鮮やかに

koe o wasureta hana no iro wa
yasashii omoide ni furete
mata nando demo kagayaki dasu (utsukushiku) azayaka ni

The colour of the flower who forgot its voice
touches upon fond memories
then shines again infinitely (beautifully) vibrantly

振り向かず　進んだ先に
たくさんの未来　手を伸ばして
怖くはないよ　一人に一つの花（かけがえのない）希望になる
振り向かず　選んだ先に
新しい世界が待っていて
言葉に　できない　美しい　色とりどりの花

furi mukazu susunda saki ni
takusan no mirai te o nobashite
kowaku wa nai yo hitori ni hitotsu no hana (kakegae no nai) kibou ni naru
furi mukazu eranda saki ni atarashii sekai ga matteite
kotoba ni dekinai utsukushii irotoridori no hana

After advancing without turning back
you’ll find plentiful futures, so reach out your hand
It’s not scary, for each person is a flower serving as (an irreplaceable) hope for you
After choosing a path without turning back
a new world will be waiting
It’s impossible to put into words, the beautiful colourful flowers

(One heart / One flower / One World)
僕の手と君の手を重ねて行こう
繋げよう　広げよう　一つの花に

(One heart / One flower / One World)
boku no te to kimi no te o kasanete yukou
tsunageyou hirogeyou hitotsu no hana ni

(One heart / One flower / One World)
Let’s go, with my hand and your hand together
Let’s join them, and spread to the one flower

前向いて　進んだ先に
描いてた未来　手を繋いで
頼りないけど　一人に一つの花（かけがえのない）力になる
前向いて　選んだ先に
新しい世界が待っていて
またきっと　出会える　新しい　色とりどりの花

mae muite susunda saki ni
egaiteta mirai te o tsunaide
tayorinai kedo hitori ni hitotsu no hana (kakegae no nai) chikara ni naru
mae muite eranda saki ni
atarashii sekai ga matteite
mata kitto de aeru atarashii irotoridori no hana

After facing forward and advancing
you’ll find the future you pictured, hand in hand
It’s not reliable, but for each person is a flower serving as (an irreplaceable) power
After facing forward and choosing your path
a new world will be waiting
I’m sure you’ll be able to meet new colourful flowers again

(One heart / One flower / One World)
