Hana

[Intro - drums and bass enter instantly, short female vocal pickup, no atmospheric build]

[Verse 1]

Every day one road dey split for him,

mama for one side, one stranger for the other side.

Kanojo wa shiranakatta, kare no kokoro no ookisa wo,

hiraku koto wo oboenakatta, hitotsu no sora.

[Chorus]

E keep thunder for inside him teeth,

e fold the lightning soft inside.

Sora wo daite ita, hiraku koto wo shirazu ni,

misenakatta, tobasenakatta.

[Verse 2]

E build one thousand word waka down that hall,

e reach her door, nothing come out again.

Ashita ka mo, kanojo wa mou shitteita ka mo,

kokoro wa shimon wo nokosu no kamo shirenai.

[Chorus]

E keep thunder for inside him teeth,

e fold the lightning soft inside.

Sora wo daite ita, hiraku koto wo shirazu ni,

misenakatta, tobasenakatta.

[Verse 3]

One morning e borrow courage from tomorrow,

press him shirt, buy flower, dress like spring.

Kyou wa hana ni kokoro wo kataraseru,

kyou koso, tsuini tsutaeru.

[Instrumental Break - fast pizzicato string and solo cello feature over the same groove]

[Verse 4]

E waka in carry spring into the winter,

kiss mama, promise say e go soon come back.

Soshite kanojo ga iru hazu no heya wo mitsuketa,

kara de, shizuka de, nani mo nakatta.

[Instrumental Break - shekere and konga percussion]

[Bridge]

E ask the question wey e suppose ask before,

her name, just her name, nothing more.

Yemi, hajimete kuchi ni shita,

hajimete, yukiba wo ushinatta,

yoru, sakura no you ni chitta,

oto mo naku.

[Final Chorus - explodes wider than the verse]

E keep thunder for inside him teeth,

until the heaven close for good.

Kokuhaku no tame ni yosoou hana,

yukiba wo motanai mama.

[Outro]

Only her name remain, Yemi, somewhere, sakura still dey fall.

Kare wa ima mo, hiraku koto wo shiranai sora wo daite iru.
