 * performed by Mai Kuraki in the seventh movie Crossroad in the Ancient Capital.

English
If I had been able to meet you I wouldn't have let go of you ever again The hanamidou [1] Tells of the end of spring One petal from this misty flower...

And an old song floats back Gently, even now, into my heart

Time after time The miracle of meeting you In a city where the wind whispered through We walked a path through the hills hand in hand And made an unforgettable promise

I can hear your voice in the wind The thin ice freezes back over [2] Long ago memories Not knowing to be afraid of hurt, I swore That someday, we'd meet again

Here, in a season of pale crimson With smiles on our faces

Time after time Alone in the city of whirling blossoms Can't return to when things were fine [3] In this very same place, just like on that day With my face strewn with tears, I waited for you

Those petals fly in the whirling wind As if stroking the water's surface In my anguish, I treasure each and every one...

Everyone says that they're lonely That they have to keep searching For someone But all they end up chasing after Are the fleeting and fragile

Time after time If I could have met you in the city of changing hues I wouldn't need any more promises More than anyone else You are so easy to hurt I want to be with you--this time, forever

Kanji
もしも君に巡り逢えたら 二度と君の手を離さない 春の終わり告げる　花御堂 霞む花　一枚 蘇る　思い出の歌 この胸に　今も優しく

time after time 君と出逢った奇跡 緩やかな風吹く街で そっと手を繋ぎ　歩いた坂道 今も忘れない約束

風に君の声が聞こえる 薄氷冴返る　遠い記憶 傷付く怖さを知らず　誓った いつかまたこの場所で 巡り逢おう　薄紅色の 季節が来る日に　笑顔で

time after time ひとり　花舞う街で 散らざるときは戻らないけれど あの日と同じ　変わらない景色に 涙ひらり　待っていたよ

風舞う花びらが　水面を撫でるように 大切に想うほど　切なく. ..

人は皆孤独と言うけれど 探さずにはいられない　誰かを はかなく壊れやすいものばかり 追い求めてしまう

time after time 君と色づく街で 出逢えたら　もう約束はいらない 誰よりもずっと　傷付きやすい君の そばにいたい今度は　きっと
