ENGLISH TRANSLATION
When did the dandelion bloom?
When did the dandelion bloom?
When did the dandelion bloom?
Dandelion
Someone's been on our vacant lot
They brought blue tarps
And construction materials in a truck
We always stopped here on the way home
Without telling any grown-ups
And we talked about our unrealistic dreams
I wonder how many springtimes have passed
So many things have happened, haven't they?
And before we knew it
Even we grew up
We came to know
That there is nothing that never changes
We lost sight of something important
That vacant land can't stay vacant forever
I heard that low-rise apartments were built
On top of our memories
Though I had forgotten about it all this time
I happened to pass by one day
And for some reason I became sentimental
The spring wind is still chilly
I can't open my heart
In the same spot every time bloomed
A dandelion
Without knowing when it bloomed
I walked through here every day
It turns out I'm the one who's changed the most
Suddenly, I wanted to talk to you
Regressing to how I was back then
But I wonder if even our reminiscence
Has been redeveloped
I wonder how many springtimes have passed
So many things have happened, haven't they?
And before we knew it
Even we grew up
We came to know
That there is nothing that never changes
We lost sight of something important
When did the dandelion bloom?
When did the dandelion bloom?
When did the dandelion bloom?
