The stars that violently twinkle go against heaven...

Shizuka ni matataku
hoshitachi no chiri yuku sora
todokanu inori ga
ten to chi wo mitashiteta
[The sky
Where the stars that twinkle scatter
Is where heaven and earth
Was appeased by an unsaid prayer]

Hosoi eda ni hikaru no wa
saki wasureta mirai
mada nagori oshisou ni tsubomi wo otoshita
[Shining through a thin branch
Was the future that forgot to bloom
And yet, seeming reluctant, the branch let the bud fall]

Hora mou toki wa michite
minoru kin no kajitsu
sono te de tsumitoru dake de
sekai wa owaru kana
[Look, soon time will be up
As it bears a golden fruit
Because, if you only pick it with those hands of yours,
The world will end]

Kegarenu mono toshite furu yuki no shirosa wa
nukumori wo shireba kieteshimau no
kirei na yume dake ga anata wo kirisaita
tsumetai hitomi no yasashisa to shinjitsu
[As an unstained thing,
The whiteness of the falling snow
Will disappear if it knows warmth
Just beautiful dreams alone tore you to pieces
With the kindness and truth of their cold eyes]

Hageshiku matataku hoshitachi wa ten ni somuite
atarasu inori ga
kono sora wo otosu made
[The stars that violently twinkle go against heaven
Until a prayer that becomes
Their enemy crashes the sky]

Watashi wo toburau tame no
hanataba wa iranai
kokoro ga tsuienu uchi ni negai wo kanaete
[I don’t need a bouquet of flowers
To mourn for me
Grant my wish before my heart collapses]

Mitodoketemitai
hito no nozomi ga
sanzando hikari ni michiru toki wo
[The wishes of people,
That they want to try seeing through their eyes,
Become the brilliant light that makes time get full]

Tsubasa wo hoshigatte dare mo ga naiteita
inochi ga kanaderu
manten no chorus
[Everyone was crying because they wanted wings
Life plays the whole sky’s chorus]

Yakekogeta negai ga
sora wo kojiakeru koro ni
natsukashii kokyou wa
kitto hana no sakari deshou
[When a scorched wish
Wrenches open the sky
The birthplace I miss
Will probably have flowers in full bloom]

Hageshiku matataku hoshitachi no yume no ato
[Traces of the dream of the stars that violently twinkle]

Yasuragi no aru to hito no iu
saihate made
tsukikage yasashiku
yuku michi wo oshiete yo
[Show me the way
Where the moonlight gently goes
Until the furthest end of earth
Where humans say peace exists]

Shizuka ni matataku hoshitachi no
inori no sora
anata no sakebi de
kono yume ga owaru made
[It’s the sky of the prayer
Of the quietly twinkling stars
Until this dream ends with your cry]
