Lyrics
Kanji=
 * 散るゆく桜　再び春に
 * 新た花を　咲かせよ
 * 我も守らん　乱世が庭に
 * 強く根を張る　我が桜樹（いえ）


 * 弟よ　此の決意伝わるか
 * 雲の流れ　見ているか


 * 幼き頃に　同じ大空
 * 見上げた日の如　果つる日まで
 * 共に行こうぞひとつが幹を絆にして
 * 嗚呼　何処までも


 * 華やかに散る　桜吹雪に
 * 何故かお前は　似ている
 * 遙かな日より　澄んだ眼差し
 * 一途なるまゝ　進みて


 * 然（しか）れども　動乱の此の時代
 * 風の向きは変わりゆく


 * 運命（さだめ）よ 何処へ我らを運ぶ
 * 羽ばたくあの鳥　群れが如く
 * 共に翔ぼうぞ　我らが梢に還る日まで
 * 此の青冥（あおぞら）を


 * 弟よ　我が悲願（ねがい）　聴こゆるか
 * 往くべき道　違（たが）えるな


 * 幼き頃に　同じ大空
 * 見上げた日の如　果つる日まで
 * 共に行こうぞひとつが幹を絆にして
 * 嗚呼　何処までも
 * 共に行こうぞ　我らが梢に還る日まで
 * 此の青冥（あおぞら）を

 * -|English Translation=
 * Cherry blossoms scatter now but new flowers will bloom
 * come next spring
 * I can't protect you. The chaos has taken root
 * deep within our garden, within my cherry tree home


 * Little brother, does my conviction reach you?
 * Are you watching the changing clouds?


 * Until the day when we bear fruit and look up
 * to the same great sky of our childhood,
 * come with me. Our bonds should bloom on the same branch
 * Ah, to the ends of the earth.


 * The thick shower of cherry blossom petals
 * somehow resemble you
 * Rather than looking back at the past, look onwards with a clear gaze
 * towards the path we must take


 * Even with these thoughts, I feel a disturbance
 * within the winds of this tremulous age


 * Destiny, where will you take us?
 * Like the flying flock of birds,
 * let us take flight in this blue sky
 * until the day when we must return to our perch


 * Little brother, can you hear my sincerest wish?
 * Don't be led astray from the path we must take


 * Until the day when we bear fruit and can gaze upon
 * the same free sky of our childhood,
 * come with me. Our bonds blossom on the same branch
 * Ah, everywhere and anywhere.
 * Come with me to meet our destiny
 * until the day comes when we return to our rightful perch
