Japanese
密やかに流れる歌声に そっと耳を澄ませて 白い月の溜息分け合うの 甘く口づけて

恋人のようだね もっと抱きしめて

こんなに光る野原の暮れる方へ 君が一人で行くから 今は結んだ指の強さに 縋り付いて君の孤独を離さない

小さな光はきっと 暗闇の深くに沈んでいるから 遠く微睡む宝石の夢 夜の底に二人で探してる

一つだけしかない名前で 私を呼んで欲しいの まだ誰も知らない 世界の何処かで眠ってる

思い出と未来にずっと輝いて

購う傷の深さが この想いを支えるような気がして 今は優しさよりも痛さで 凍り付いた君の心を溶かしたい

逃れることの出来ない影のように いつも近くにいるから 君の落した涙の粒が指を飾る宝石 キラキラと

こんなに光る野原の その向こうへきっと二人で行くから 今は結んだ指の強さに 縋り付いて君の孤独を離さない

小さな光をきっと 暗闇の深くに見つけられるから 遠く宝石の眠りを探して 夜を超える力を信じてる

English Translation
Softly straining my ears For the quiet singing voice We share the white moon's sigh Kiss me sweetly

It's like we're lovers Hold me tighter

Because you'll go alone towards the place Where night is falling on this shining field Right now, I'll hold on the strength of our entwined fingers And I won't let go of your loneliness

A small light surely Sunk into the darkness so, Together we'll look for the dozing dreams of jewels Faraway at the bottom of the night

I want you to call me With a name that is unique It's sleeping somewhere in a world That no one knows of

It will shine forever in my memory and future

I have the feeling that these compensatory wounds Support my feelings Right now, I want to thaw your heart With pain instead of gentleness

Like a shadow that you can't run from I'll always be close by your side The tears that you dropped Become sparkling jewels that decorate my fingers

We can surely cross over This shining field together Right now, I'll hold on to the strength of our entwined fingers And I won't let go of your loneliness

We can surely find a small light Deep in the darkness Looking for the jewel's sleep I believe in the power to overcome the night
