Lyrics for Farewell to School Days
1. Lyrics for Farewell to School Days
Farewell to those school years
Twelve years singing like a tearful melody
The cicadas' cries, a constant companion
Now standing side by side, feeling a profound sadness
Farewell, not knowing what to say
Tears now replace words of affection
The joys, the sorrows, the petty quarrels
Now each of us heads in different directions, just memories
If only time could rewind to the beginning
Leaving us confused, hesitant
Like the first time, still unfamiliar
Shyly exchanging greetings
Letters of introduction... knowing names
The familiar calls of 'you' and 'I' from days gone by
Now falling into a space too serene
And the moments of parting at school
Then silently disappearing into the void of the soul
Friends...!
The vacant stone benches, the naive violet graves
The trembling, choked-up flow of pens
Beloved windows and the times spent playing outside
The echoing laughter of someone
Farewell, beloved school, it's time to part ways
No more will there be those school years
And we'll send them off to a distant land
A sky that will have only us
My friends...!
