Watching the travelers come
It gives me great joy
To shower them
Under protection of Hanami
Pedals falling with purpose
At 5 centimeters per second
Each after the other
Only to soon return
With the drums of Taiko
Blaring along the wind
The scent of takoyaki
What joy, this season brings
For to last only 10 days
This celebration needs a finale
So I'll shed it all
And become hidden once more
