English Translation
Looking up to the night sky alone, I saw a comet Though it burst open and disappeared in an instant When I think of you, my heart aches I want to see you right now, but I can't fly through the sky

If I could turn into a comet I would go flying through the sky No matter what tomorrow is like, these feelings are strong So this comet will never break open

When I complain about hating it when it rains Even now I still remember what you would say How, after the rain, stars will appear beautifully in the night sky When I think about that I think that I can grow to like the rain, too

If I could turn into a comet I would shed my overflowing light As you look at the night sky when you're sad I want to shine more so that you will smile

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

If I could turn into a comet I would go flying through 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 turn into a comet I would certainly be by your side, at any time
