風は途中で　息を止める

消えた影を　探した頃に
(By the time you search for the vanished shadow)
背中の花は　もう散っている
(The blossom at your back has already scattered)
一つの刃が　十へと分かれ
(One blade divides itself into ten)
十の残火が　百花を呼ぶ
(Ten lingering flames call forth a hundred flowers)
勝ちは一夜の　酒に過ぎぬ
(Victory is only one night’s sake)
負けは骨まで　名を刻む
(Defeat carves its name into the bone)

それでいい

咲け！
(Bloom!)
咲け——！

(Bloom! Bloom! Hundred Chaotic Blossoms)
天の果てまで　春に変えろ
(Turn even the edge of heaven into spring)
笑え　笑え　傷だらけで
(Laugh! Laugh! Covered in wounds...)
折れぬだけでは　強さじゃない
(Merely refusing to break is not strength!)
散って初めて　実る花もある
(Some flowers bear fruit only after scattering)
まだ立てるなら——また来い
(If you can still stand... come again)
咲け　咲け　百乱華
(Bloom! Bloom! Hundred Chaotic Blossoms)
刃も焔も　花と成れ
(Let blade and foxfire both become flowers)
