  • Mono no aware
    Murasaki iro no hana
    Haru no hana
    To fuyu mo koyuki
    Harahara

    Shizen no bi kana
    Ah! Midori no ha to
    Aki no iro

    Kaze no koe

    [Translation]

    Wild Violet

    The poignancy of things
    A purple flower
    The blossom of springs
    and the light snow of winter
    How they fall

    The beauty of nature
    A green leaf and
    Autumn colors

    The voice of the wind
    The song of birds
    A sad sea
    A joyful sea
    Mountains
    Pebbles
    A wild iris Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
