The Bento Picnic
The bento box is open wide
A spring picnic, we sit outside
The rice is warm, the wind is sweet
We spread the sheet, we take our seat
We share the rice, we share the fish
We share the love in every dish
Beneath the cherry trees we’ve come
To eat together, one by one
[Chorus]
Under the blossoms, side by side
We eat, we smile, we feel alive
Rice and fish in a lacquered box
Every bite a moment locks
Under the blossoms, we’re one and all
Together when the petals fall
The box was packed with loving hands
The way that only Grandma can
The tamagoyaki, golden bright
The pickled daikon, crisp and white
A convenience bento, simple fare
A stadium seat, a springtime air
The same small box, the same warm grace
A shared meal in a crowded place
[Chorus]
Under the blossoms, side by side
We eat, we smile, we feel alive
Rice and fish in a lacquered box
Every bite a moment locks
Under the blossoms, we’re one and all
Together when the petals fall
[Bridge]
A box packed with love
A sheet on the ground
A season that passes
A bond that stays round
[Chorus]
Under the blossoms, side by side
We eat, we smile, we feel alive
Rice and fish in a lacquered box
Every bite a moment locks
Under the blossoms, we’re one and all
Together when the petals fall
[Outro]
Under the blossoms
Under the blossoms
