Prompt:
開いたばかりの花が散るのを
「今年も早いね」と
残念そうに見ていたあなたは
とてもきれいだった

You, who looked at the flowers that just bloomed
but were already falling
said, "it was fast this year too".
You were so beautiful


あなたが守った街のどこかで今日も響く
健やかな産声を聞けたなら
きっと喜ぶでしょう
私たちの続きの足音
If you could hear the healthy cries of the newborns
Echoing in this city you protected,
You'd surely be happy, I think
Hearing the footsteps that follow us
もう二度と会えないなんて信じられない
まだ何も伝えてない
まだ何も伝えてない
I can't believe I will never see you again
I haven't told you anything yet
I haven't told you anything yet

- Hikaru Utada, Sakura Nagashi (ED of Evangelion 3.0; full lyrics and translation)


(had to restrain myself from translating the whole song ahhh, its also about helplessness, of duty over love, of the pain when you could never say the words, but now it's too late)
