English Translation
Looking up at the night sky alone, I saw a comet Though it appeared and vanished in a second When I think of you, my chest begins to hurt I want to see you right now, but I can't fly through the sky

If perchance I could have become a comet I would go flying through the sky No matter what kind of tomorrow comes, this thought is strong So my comet is unbreakable

As I was complaining about how hateful the rain was Even now I still remember what you said How, after the rain, the night sky is beautifully filled with stars Thinking of that, I could even come to like the rain

If perchance I could have become a comet I would always spill my overflowing light As you look at the night sky when you're sad I want to sparkle more so that you will smile

You are always fighting something by yourself Being by your side is all I can do

If perchance I could have become a comet I would go flying thorugh the sky, surely I would definitely reach you, with this single moment of light Lighting up your present and passing through the sky If I could have become a comet I would surely stay by your side, at any time
