ringo shiina lyrics & translation
Shiroi Hana no Saku Koro / When A White Flower Blooms
Electric Mole

shiroi hana ga saiteta
furusato no tooi yume no hi
sayonara to ittara
damatte utsumuiteta oshitakami
kanashikatta ano toki no
ano shiroi hana da yo

shiroi kumo ga uiteta
furusato no takai ano mine
sayonara to ittara
kodama ga sayonara to yondeita
sabishikatta ano toki no
ano shiroi kumo da yo

shiroi tsuki naiteta
furusato no oka no kodachi ni
sayonara to ittara
namida no hitomi de jitto mitsumeteta
kanashikatta ano toki no
ano shiroi tsuki yo
A white flower had bloomed
On that faraway dream day in my hometown
When we said goodbye
You had kept quiet, hanging your head behind your hair
What was sad then
was that white flower

A white cloud had floated past
Over that high peak in my hometown
When we said goodbye
The echoes had called out goodbye too
What was sad then
was that white cloud

A white moon had wept
In that grove of trees on a hill in my hometown
When we said goodbye
With tears in your eyes, you had watched me intently
What was sad then
was that white moon

Song info: Originally by Atsurou Okamoto, but also sung by Chieko Baisyo. In "Electric Mole," Ringo sings only the first verse of this song (thus why it is called "one part").
