The night is raining stars, and I want to see you

So without waiting for dawn, I slip out into the streets

You’re under the moonlight… even now

(Days) Those days when we walked happily together

(Maze) Seemed to go on forever

Why are you wandering lost, deep in your eyes?

Look, if you open the door to your heart, I can meet you

Back in that place, I promised you, I wouldn’t give up

This overflowing emotion wouldn’t be swept away by the wind

Beneath the downpour of stars, we embraced…. The two of us

(Lies) I don’t understand how those days became lies

(Eyes) I just close my eyes and escape into my memories, but…

But even here, I wouldn’t change a single thing

Really, the thing I loved wasn’t the past, but the shining future

I hesitated a little, and the wind began

To sweep away this overflowing emotion

This time, I won’t lose my way

The night is raining stars, and I want to see you

So without waiting for dawn, I slip out into the streets

Wrapped in a distant wind

I can’t put together words that will reach you, but

You’re still gazing somewhere out the window

I keep having this foreboding feeling

If only those days hadn’t …

Like a caged bird, your vacant eyes

Are moved by the afternoon sun

As if the light is calling you outside

I keep having this foreboding feeling

If only those days hadn’t clouded over

As time goes around

Our promises seem to be stolen away

Even though I reach out to you with both hands

Your heart drifts…

(Why do you stare at the sky with your blurry eyes?)

As time goes around

Our promises seem to be stolen away

Even though I reach out to you with both hands

Your heart drifts…

As time goes around

My dear, you just…

You look back at me with a little sigh in your eyes

Don’t wake me from this dream, not yet, not yet

There’s something down this road, isn’t there?

The answer is surely, surely here

So I won’t give up, I won’t stop

 But it’s like being dragged by my hair after even a little ways

I want to stay beside that gentle smile, but…

 I take off running, and the clear blue sky is radiant

The wind pushes me on, and I start a new journey

So that I can see you again, I’ll head towards tomorrow without looking back

[Good luck my way] On the path of my beliefs

 If I visit here and there without rushing, it seems,

I won’t break through, I won’t find the answer

Surely, surely I have no regrets

To see you laugh again, I’ll keep moving forward

 Look, there’s nothing to fear, no matter what happens tomorrow,

I can overcome it. Even if I fall, I’ve made it this far.

 I was happy to see you in a corner of this changing world,

But I couldn’t put this overflowing feeling into words

When we meet again, will I be able to tell you?

[Good luck my way] Smile at me

 I take off running, and the clear blue sky is radiant

The wind pushes me on, and I start a new journey

So that I can see you again, I’ll head towards tomorrow without looking back

[Good luck my way smile at me]

 I was happy to see you in a corner of this changing world,

But I couldn’t put this overflowing feeling into words

When we meet again, will I be able to tell you?

Cross over a distant rainbow

I woke up after a dream

Welcome to the end of a world of lies

I look up at the heavens, burning down slowly but surely

Let’s be revived in the grasping radiance

This longing is gaining speed. My prayers, lead me

Fly away, my prayers, to the other side of the sun

That promised smile

I took the long way to the room where you were waiting

Like just barely being embraced by the grim reaper

My burned out soul is also out of chances, but

This longing is gaining speed. My prayers, lead me

Keep flying, my prayers, to the other side of the sun

Believe me, it’s almost over

I’m going to your side

I woke up

[Won’t trust no one again]

I woke up

[Lead me to your side]

This longing is gaining speed. My prayers, lead me

Fly away, my prayers, to the other side of the sun

That voice in my heart is echoing now

Fly, my prayers, to my beloved

Believe me, it’s almost over

I’m going to your side

“Spread your wings now.”

Someone whispered

“Let’s fly from the borderline at your feet.”

Back to back with freedom

“Because these rusted chains

Couldn’t hold us from the start”

In my heart, in my heart, I’m getting closer to the sky

I want to dive into that deep blue color

Wearing the endless night sky wherever we go,

Let’s search for a new world

I want to see you and I can’t see you and I’m wavering uncertainly, but

These wings, now awoken, won’t be erased

There is no right answer

God only knows what lies down this branching path

Accelerating to an unstoppable speed

I’ll remember that this pulse is beating loudly

Everything is falling away, but

You, at least, please don’t grow up

Led by a nostalgic light

You gently wave your hand

Even the future we knew breaks away

Let’s imagine shattering the illusions

Let’s cut our predetermined fate to pieces

And slip away into the sky

Even now, even now, I’m remembering

Watching the sunrise as a child

Wearing the endless night sky wherever we go,

Let’s search for a new world

I want to see you and I can’t see you and I’m wavering uncertainly, but

These wings, now awoken, won’t be erased

Led by a nostalgic light

You gently wave your hand

Even the future we knew breaks away

Let’s imagine shattering the illusions

Let’s cut our predetermined fate to pieces

In this moment where nothing changes, it’s good if time passes, isn’t it?

I don’t notice. I try everything, even freedom.

It probably comes for everything.

Even if I abandon myself to the maze

The nearly vanished landscape has already taught me

It’s all connected, right?

[Make or break, make amends, and then it’s all gone]

  The answer that fell from the sky was an hourglass. Miracles don’t happen, but…

As the suffering comes to an end, I just look away.

I just wish for happiness, but I’m inviting tragedy

A smile exchanged for grief

My stolen peace is just a fake paradise

Like a hypocrite

[Hold your breath, hold your peace, it’s time to make or break]

To protect my loved one, I’m hurting someone else

I made a mistake. If no one notices, will it all be forgiven?

Until god’s judgement, the answer is the hourglass pouring into my palms

From the beginning, if I had understood my bottomless lust for everything I touched,

I would not have lost it all to this unending cycle of sorrow.

We met for the first time by the park, do you remember?

The morning sun looked brilliant, and you were out for a walk

My breath stopped as the moment passed… I raised my voice

It was pointless to try, the ghost was already gone

Truthfully (don’t cry), I was thinking that I wanted to stay by your side (don’t cry) a little longer

Color spilled over the path, painting over it….  it was completely magic, wasn’t it?

I didn’t like the humidity, but it didn’t matter

You made a face, but it turned out well, didn’t it?

Look, (don’t cry) a new world is waiting for you (don’t cry), so don’t hang your head

Your smile (don’t cry) is more wonderful than anyone’s (don’t cry), so don’t forget that, okay?

I give a little wave at your back and softly say goodbye

It’s frightening to be apart, isn’t it? But you know,

Everyone will surely fall in love with your magic

You walked forward (don’t cry) and that brilliant season (don’t cry) surrounded you

Truthfully (don’t cry), I was thinking that I wanted to stay by your side (don’t cry) a little longer

I give a little wave at your back and softly say goodbye

Invited by the bright sky,

I opened the window a little on my day off.

The wind reached me as I rested my chin in my hands.

I wonder who it will visit next?

Every day rushes past busily.

Today is just a little bit slower.

I picked up a book in boredom, and what fell out

Was a smile that has long since stopped

A vivid memory of you is revived.

I will wait by the windowsill for the next breeze.

Don’t leave me. I want to stay by your side.

Your trembling voice resounds through my body,

And I can’t breathe.

Will those tears ever end?

A vivid memory of you is revived.

At the end of that long summer, you looked at me,

Crying like a lost child, and I...

It hurts, and I want to hold you close.

What is this feeling?

I won’t bother you anymore, so don’t leave from this room.

Don’t leave me alone.

Even now, your voice still echoes.

So, I realized in the afternoon light, I am still sleeping.

I don’t understand why the scene never goes the way I want.

Because I can’t see you again today, I’ll close my eyes in my bed,

And I’ll be fascinated by the you in my dreams until the morning after next.

Your smile always makes me tremble,

And I want to bloom as intensely as the sun.

My heart hurts and hurts like it’s about to break,

So if this feeling is unrequited, at least let it wither away!

I can’t laugh anymore. Even in my dreams, you say the same thing, don’t you?

Beyond my window, I wonder what the real you is doing right now.

Back in the distant yesterday, I was walking around, carrying an empty birdcage.

I was surely looking for you, wasn’t I?

Even though I’m invited outside by a brilliant wind, 

I keep chasing after you in my dream.

The sky even now, even now, is engulfing me in blue

Like a downpour as I looked up.

Like a flower

(Flowers bloom in the sunlight and I live close to you)

Many seeds float up over the hills,

And I spread beautiful flowers.

Quickly, find me, find me, because I am here

Even though I’m waiting to be woken up.

Your smile always makes me tremble,

And I want to bloom as intensely as the sun.

My heart hurts and hurts like it’s about to break,

[Blooming] as if gently waking up

In a [wasteland] as far as the eye can see

The ground is barren where the flowers once bloomed

I am a lone [wildflower]

 The piercing sunlight is [blazing]

But if the sun goes down it will [change to cold]

I’ll hug my knees, [freezing]

Another day is dawning, [woah, welcome a new day]

 I’m [always] shaken by your scent on the distant wind

In the wasteland, a lone flower vividly blooms, [I will bloom]

 The stars watch me, [laughing]

I [kick] at the shimmering sky and [cry]

[Loneliness] is my friend

I fight to welcome another day [woah, welcome a new day]

 The distant wind blows and I’m lost in thoughts of you, [always]

Why would I [wanna bloom], a lone flower in the wasteland?

 [Notice that someone is watching you]

 The wavering sun pours over the distant horizon, [always]

 Tomorrow, so that I don’t blow away, I will take root and [I will bloom]

Even though I cannot see the distant horizon, I can feel it, and [I will bloom]

Tomorrow you will wake up, [blooming]

Spilling morning dew like [teardrops]

The ground is barren where the flowers once bloomed

You are a lone [wildflower]
