I was wondering how you would translate this into an English sentence? I know
that 漂う means "to drift" and 僕達 means "us", but I'm confused as to how to make
a complete English sentence out of this.

Here's the full stanza (because this is from a song):

  * 少しだけ寂しいけど 笑って (I will feel a little lonely, but let's smile)
  * 「さよなら」の代わりに言おう (and instead of saying "goodbye")
  * ｢またね・また会いましょう」 (let's say "see you / let's meet again")
  * アオイハル 漂う 僕達 (???)

(アオイハル is the title of the song, I know it means "Green Spring", does it
actually add any meaning to the sentence?)

Thanks!

question
translation
How would you interpret and make a full sentence of 漂{ただよ}う 僕{ぼく}達{たち} in English?
> Those of us drifting in the green spring [ _青春{アオイハル}_ ( _seishun_ )]

If _aoiharu_ is an artistic-reference to
[_seishun_](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%9D%92%E6%98%A5) then this
translation could work? I feel the lyricist is trying to tap into the fact
that those in _seishun_ are young and somewhat green or lost (read: drifting)
but that's just a guess.
