dark 窓ガラスのむこう空はまだ青くて
sigh　微笑んでる mikazuki ずっとずっと昔から
 dark mado GARASU no mukou sora wa mada aokute
 sigh  hohoende'ru mikazuki zutto zutto mukashi kara
    Dark, the sky outside the window is still dim
    Sigh, the new moon has always been smiling

移りゆく人々の ｢命｣ 花が咲き
美しく散る瞬間-とき-を見守っている
 utsuriyuku hitobito no 'inochi' hana ga saki
 utsukushiku chiru toki wo mimamotte iru [1]
    As the flower of bright human 'Life' blooms,
    I watch for the petals to fall prettily away [1]

どんなに切ない
想い伝わっても・・・
 donna ni setsunai
 omoi tsutawattemo...
    Even if I try to describe
    These painful feelings...

why? 僕はどうしてここに生まれてきたんだろう
I'm looking for the truth
きっと君に出遭うため求め合うために
 why? boku wa doushite koko ni umarete kita n'darou
 I'm looking for the truth
 kitto kimi ni deau tame motomeau tame ni
    Why? Why was I born into this world?
    I'm looking for the truth
    It must have been to meet you, to find you

届かない願いほど捨てきれぬ情熱
いつしか夢を持つことに戸惑いながら
 todokanai negai hodo sutekirenu jounetsu
 itsushika yume wo motsu koto ni tomadoinagara
    This clinging passion becomes a secret wish
    As your dreams frustrate you...

何を怖がってる？
何を迷ってる？
星達は今日もまた君をたたえて輝くのに・・・
 nani wo kowagatte'ru?
 nani wo mayotte'ru?
 hoshi-tachi wa kyou mo mata kimi wo tataete kagayaku noni...
    What are you afraid of?
    What are you puzzled about?
    Don't you know, the stars are shining on you?

やがて来る朝は現実を映し出してゆく
君を忘れることだって慣れてしまった
 yagate kuru asa wa genjitsu wo utsushidashite yuku
 kimi wo wasureru koto datte narete shimatta
    Morning comes at last and lights the truth--
    I've gotten used to not remembering you

かすかな勇気を何度もくれたね
今もきっと誰か照らしてる　白い吐息で
永遠の命を与えられた君に
恋するよ　また生まれ変わっても・・・
 kasuka na yuuki wo nando mo kureta ne
 ima mo kitto dareka terashite'ru  shiroi toiki de
 eien no inochi wo ataerareta kimi ni
 koi suru yo  mata umarekawattemo...
    You gave me courage time and again
    You must be shining on someone even now, with chilled breath
    You, bestowed with eternal life--
    I love you, even if reborn...
