Chinese lyrics

Version 1

Sakura Ah! Cherry blossoms!

In the late spring sky in March,

it is cloudless and so clear,

like clouds and white clouds,

The fragrance is so beautiful,

Come on! Come on!

Let’s go see the cherry blossoms together.

Version 2

Sakura! Sakura!

In late spring, the sky is about to dawn.

The rays of sunshine are dazzling and the heroes are smiling.

The sky is thousands of miles long and the clouds are rising.

The beautiful fragrance is floating in the wind. .

Go see the flowers! Go see the flowers!

Be early to see the flowers.

Sakura blossoms, cherry blossoms,

Under the clear sky in March,

as far as the eye can see are cherry blossoms.

The flowers are as bright as clouds and clouds, and the fragrance is as beautiful as picturesque.

Come on, come on,

Let’s enjoy the flowers together

English lyrics

Cherry blossoms; cherry blossoms

The spring sky--as far as you can see

Is it a mist? Is it a cloud? The fragment comes out!

Come now, let's go see .

Cherry blossoms; cherry blossoms

The hills and fields and countryside also as far as you can see

Is it a mist? Is it a cloud? Fragrant in the morning sunlight

Cherry blossoms; cherry blossoms - flowers in full bloom
