Album: Cape No. 7 OST


I wasn't exactly able to translate the Japanese lyrics to this song, but I found the full Chinese lyrics and translated those. For this song, I was mostly just interested in the pinyin and romanji so I could sing along. Thank you to http://5566lyrics.blogsome.com for that!

A boy catches sight of the wild rose,

荒地上的玫瑰

At sunrise, the full blooms are truly fresh

急忙跑去近前看

He quickly ran to go see it

愈看愈覺歡喜
