04.02.14
Artist: Hitoto Yoh Title: Hanamizuki (Dogwood Tree) Words: Hitoto Yoh Music: Mashiko Tatsurou you hold your hands out boosting up the sky, in may I want you to come, to the water's edge. I'll give you a bud the dogwood tree in the garden my adorable soft pink one, I hope your endless dream comes to an end I hope you and the one you love have one hundred years together. summer is too hot my feelings are too heavy to cross together they'll no doubt bring down the boat please go on, go on ahead of me. my patience will one day pay off I hope the endless waves will calm I hope you and the one you love have one hundred years together chase after the fluttering butterflies raise the white sails on Mother's Day send a leaf of dogwood. you need not wait, nor know my adorable soft pink one, I hope your endless dream comes to an end I hope you and the one you love have one hundred years together. my patience will one day pay off I hope the endless waves will calm I hope you and the one you love have one hundred years together Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma Translator's Notes: This song was written about the 9/11 terrorist incident. Hitoto recalled that in 1912 America and Japan exchanged trees. America gave Japan a Dogwood and Japan gave America a Sakura. Apparently the song is about how though this tragedy happened across the sea, the pain of losing someone is something any one can relate to. By loving someone, we spread the love across the world and hopefully towards peace. Her words not mine. The original lyrics for this song were several pages long but Hitoto editted it down to what you see now. Most of the 9/11 references were removed with the editting.
