English Translation
Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above send a plea from across the ages with colours that haven't faded It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon to live as fully as possible, day by day So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday, let's shine on like that star

1, 2, and so the bells echo, spreading far and wide in the depths of my heart A legendary stardrop, inside it there's so many narrow paths etched out With time, the ages pass; a shooting star passes without a sound Close your eyes and listen hard, maybe you'll hear a "Goodbye"

A black and white photo of the entire sky, a rumbling muffler - white breath Just wanna get a little closer, I'll race to the high ground up there Taking out my huge telescope, out of the lens came stardust Time after time, an epic from across the ages

Now that the light is released, surely it can't fail, across time it's got to reach someone The light of glory is right across the way It's the story I'm about to weave with you all

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above send a plea from across the ages with colours that haven't faded It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon to live as fully as possible, day by day So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday, let's shine on like that star

With my birth cry, a small light and a great light met across space and time Their shine became one, to begin a new story Like a constellation that connects the dots, why shouldn't we create a lovely painting for someone? Take a look above you; see, it's a winter diamond This slow-moving galaxy, soon enough, will give you your courage back

Now that the light is released, surely it can't fail, across time it's got to reach someone The light of glory is right across the way It's the story I'm about to weave with you all

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above send a plea from across the ages with colours that haven't faded It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon to live as fully as possible, day by day So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday, let's shine on like that star

This sky is the only one there is; it spreads over all. And beyond the sea, right now, new life takes breath, and life is cut off, while stars shine on, like goddesses continuing a long journey, or starting anew; in spring, summer, fall and winter even a second is enough, just a moment is enough, to engrave my thoughts, to shine without end across the ages

The story goes on in the heart the "you" of that day takes a night train

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above send a plea from across the ages with colours that haven't faded It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon to live as fully as possible, day by day Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above send a plea from across the ages with colours that haven't faded So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday, let's shine on like that star

Let's shine on like that star
