Lyrics

anata no ashi ga tsuki wo ketta
shiroi suna ga yatou mitai da
anata wa kizuite irun darou ka

nami no mukou ni nanika atta
sore ga nanika wakaranakatta
sukoshi sabishii

tashite, tashite, afurete
tashite, tashite iru bun dake sugite

yoru no umi wo futari aruita
tsuki no taba ga hisame mitai da
anata wa kizuite irun darou ka

iwa no sukima ni nanika atta
sore ga nanika wakaranakatta
sukoshi kurushii

tashite, tashite kasanete
tashite, tashite iru bun dake sugite

tsuki no naka wo ikiru hibi wo
tsukihi to dareka ga itta
tsuki no naka de sugosu bokura
iwaba gekkouyoku darou ka

nami wo matsu tsuki wo matagu
karada wa yatou mitai ni shiroku

tashite, tashite, wasurete
tashite, tashite iru bun dake fueru tsukihi no ue de

bokura no ashi ga mizu wo ketta
sebire ga hikatte yurameita
bokura wa oyoide irun darou ka

sakana no boku wa iki wo sutta
anata mo youyaku ki ga tsuita
tsuki ga mabushii

English Translation

Your foot kicked the moon
The white sand glows like a night-light
I wonder if you have noticed

There was something beyond the waves
I wasn’t sure what it was
It makes me a little sad

Add more, add more, make them overflow
Add more, and as many as we add, more have passed　

The two of us walked by the night ocean
A bundle of moonlight falls like a sleety rain
I wonder if you have noticed

There was something between the rocks
I wasn’t sure what it was 
It gives me a little pain

Add more, add more, pile them up
Add more, and as many as we add, more have passed

Some said months and days are made of
The time we spend in the moonlight
Here we are, living in the moon
I wonder if it’s a moonbath, so to speak

Waiting for the waves, stepping over the moon
Our bodies, like a night-light, glow white

Add more, add more, forget them
Add more, on months and days piling up as many as we add

Our feet kicked the water
The dorsal fins caught light and flickered
I wonder if we’re swimming

I, as a fish, took a breath
You finally noticed too
The moon is dazzling
