“Cactus Flower”(1975)_Saboten no Hana_ TULIP(JPN)
Words and music by Kazuo Zaitsu
Arranged by Tulip
Tulip's eighth single, released on February 5, 1975.
(English translation of the rough meaning of the lyrics)
It was just a small incident,
but it hurt our love
You ran out of the room
under the midwinter sky
Leaving the gloves you were knitting
And the unwashed laundry untouched
And the bubbles were still in the wash tub
And the room still smelled of you
like the snow that's constantly falling
I should have loved you
Like this snow falling on the window
But our love has drifted away
I'll leave this room,
where memories of you are still stored
When I locked the door,
for some reason
I burst into tears
The cactus you had grown
produced a little flower
Spring is almost here
But our love is over now.
By the end of this long winter
I'll find something
to take your place and live.
I will live believing in something
in place of you
Until this long winter is over
La la la la la ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
