hirari harari chiru hana wa yamato nadeshiko
sakura fubuki maichiru wa shuupuutaitou
hirari harari odoru yukikami ni tokeyuku
hanafubuki maiodoru wa yamiyo no shijima
ひらりはらり散る花は大和撫子
桜吹雪舞い散るは春風駘蕩
ひらりはらり踊る雪 髪に溶けゆく
花吹雪舞い踊るは闇夜の静寂
This softly, gently falling flower is a traditional Japanese woman
And the flurry of cherry blossoms that dances down is the warm spring weather
Softly, gently, snow melts in my hair
the cherry petal storm dances in the silence of the moonless night
ikuoku no namida sakihokoru wa ai
oborodzuki yoake haruurara wo matsu (asa hikari)
幾億の涙 咲き誇るは愛
朧月夜明け春麗を待つ (朝光)
The billions of blooming tears are of love
The misty dawn waits for the beauty of spring (morning light)
hirari harari hakanai sakura
utsukushiku chiru ga sadame ka
hakusetsu tsumoru wa daikoku no
haru wa otozure urarakani
saredo ikusa wa yawaragu nakare
moyuru kagerou taoyakani
ひらりはらり儚い桜
美しく散るが定めか
白雪積もるは大国の
春は訪れ麗らかに
されど戦は和らぐ勿れ
燃ゆる陽炎 嫋やかに
Soft, gentle, fleeting cherry blossom
Are you destined to beautifully fall?
The piled up white snow is from this great country
Spring calls, gloriously
Though it may be so that war shalt not abate
the ripples of the sunset glow gracefully
hirari harari kazahana wa ikusa ni omomuki
ten wa terashite utsuru wa kyoukasuigetsu
hirari harari sayoshigure hana wo sasou
pinto ikusa wa ni mai shizakura no kaben
ひらりはらり風花は戦に赴き
天は照らしてうつるは鏡花水月
ひらりはらり小夜時雨 春を誘う
ピント戦は二枚死桜の花弁
Softly, gently, the winter wind blows towards war
The Heavens illuminate and flicker, they are intangible reflections
Softly, gently, inviting a light night’s drizzle in spring
a focused war is like two petals of dying cherry blossoms
kasane no irome kanzashi wo sashi
asasou hyoumu soji wa unmei no hana wo sakasu (azayakani)
かさねの色目 かんざしを挿し
浅そう氷霧素地は運命の花を咲かす (鮮やかに)
Putting a hairpin into colorful layers of garments
The foundation of a shallow ice fog blooms forth the flowers of destiny (vibrantly)
hirari harari aa chiru hana wa
yamato nadeshiko sakura otome
ikusen no yume wo mita unabara no
fuyu wa sugiyuku
ひらりはらり嗚呼散る花は
大和撫子桜乙女
幾千の夢をみた海原の
冬は過ぎゆく
Softly, gently, oh, the falling cherry blossom
is a Traditional Japanese Cherry Blossom Maiden
For the ocean that has seen thousands of dreams
winter finally passes
hirari harari hakanai sakura
utsukushiku chiru ga sadame ka
hakusetsu tsumoru wa daikoku no
haru wa otozure urarakani
saredo ikusa wa yawaragu nakare
moyuru kagerou taoyakani
ひらりはらり儚い桜
美しく散るが定めか
白雪積もるは大国の
春は訪れ麗らかに
されど戦は和らぐ勿れ
燃ゆる陽炎 嫋やかに
Soft, gentle, fleeting cherry blossom
Are you destined to beautifully fall?
The piled up white snow is from this great country
Spring calls, gloriously
Though it may be so that war shalt not abate
the ripples of the sunset glow gracefully

Who is this singing? Yamato?

It is never specified, but one can imagine Yamato is singing metaphorically about herself

That’s what it sounds like. Cherry Blossoms are symbolic of Japan, and Yamato is an ancient name for Japan itself…
