Though falling sakura petals'd been
Coloring the town beautiful,
"We must say farewell to you now"
The wind told me.

"Seasons roll, so we'll meet again"
The bright moon we'd seen together
At that time
Told me gently.

We keep on shedding the same tears.
We aren't aware of the precious things, unless they've gone.

If my only wish comes true
I want to say goodbye to what I used to be
If you've been thinking of me as in those days,
I want to see you again
Beneath that sakura tree someday.

In order not to fade
The promise of that day
In dazzling morning light
I tried tracing it with my finger

Since the past has ever gone,
I won't hesitate anymore, I'll keep on going ahead

So that my earnest prayers'll reach out to you
I've been singing towards the future.
"You'll certainly find the answer you've been looking for,"
Someone had told me softly.

If my only with comes true
I want to bring this song back to you beyond this time
If you've been thinking of me as in those days,
I want to see you again
Beneath that sakura tree someday.

So that my earnest prayers'll reach out to you
I've been singing towards the future
"The answer that you've been looking for has been right here,"
You told me gently.

"Clear up your sorrow..."

Those are the English lyrics to the song at the end of Okami, called "Reset".

My submissions for 's contest. The theme was "snow" and I instantly thought "OMG Okiiiii!!" But I was struggling to come up with a good concept. But then I listened to the song "Reset" that plays at the end of the game and I was suddenly like "Yes. I have to."

And so you have Ammy and Oki as puppies. Without their weapons, of course, cause weapons are a safety hazard for children.

EDIT: Added the nifty rope around the tree like in the game and mountains in the background.
