ima, shizuka na yoru no naka de
mukeikaku ni kuruma wo hashiraseta
hidaridonari, anata no

tada, omoide wo saguru you ni
tadoru you ni kotoba wo tsunagi awasereba
dou shiyou mo naku afurete kuru

English Translation

Right now, on a quiet night
I drive around aimlessly
To the left, the moon
Shined bright on the side of your face

Just like searching for memories
By putting together words as if to trace them
Hopelessly overflowing
Are memories from our daily lives

From that day I decided to live my life with you
The world slowly began to change
As if I were strong, as if to hide my weaknesses
Those days I spent acting
One day, those gazing eyes suddenly appeared and
Taught me things I never knew
When you have something that needs to be protected
You become all the stronger

In a deep, deep darkness
We met and spent our days together
Days like I’ve never known
Felt so comforting
Or rather, they made me happy
It’s true that I was saved
By you

What shined with just the slightest light
Were tears just like a shooting star
Wet drops falling from a clumsy life
Beautiful tears

Gentleness hidden inside that big, strong frame
Your face with traces of pain
I love them all
It’s not about appearances
I finally realized
The cruel echo of a gunshot ripping through the night
Assaulted by a breath signaling the end
The merciless shooting star shined for an instant
And disappeared without answering my prayers

Burned out in this hand is
A golden, gentle comet
Its beautiful mane
I clenched in the darkness

English Version

We, now, see through the night into the quietness
And drive into the street, moving on with no destination
Sitting there to my left, I glance at you 
the side of your face, the moon was shining its light 

Just like, searching around within our history
Like crawling carefully, combining words together one by one, I was 
Feeling the overflowing thoughts, all visions leading to
Memories of time with you

I know, starting from the day, feeling was set, deciding to live by your side
Steadily, gradually all my world's been changing
Just to be stronger than I feel, and covering the weakness deep within
Into my days of pretending
Suddenly when you arrived into my life I saw the look deep in your eyes
It taught me all that knowledge I had never knew before
When there is something to protect that is the only thing I need
to be stronger now   than I could ever be, I found

Moving in, moving in deeper into darkest of days 
We would meet,   and soon, together, spending our time
"Luring" in new days to be
Full of all the comfort
It was full of joy and pleasure 
For you are the one that　 was saving my soul all along
now I can see

Capturing a little fragment of a light it shined a bit and soon revealed 
Movement of falling drops of tears just like a shooting star 
from a life of imperfection, it's pouring out and slowly falling down
Those beautiful drops of tears

Even all the tenderness hiding beneath that body, large and powerful 
Even in that face resembling pain and sorrow
I could see beauty, this, I've found
The figure isn't what it's all about
I finally have realized

Echoing into the night, cold unforgiving sound of gunshot in the air
"The fading breath, ""evoking"" our goodbyes approaching soon"
And shining for only an instant a merciless shooting star I see
The wishes made upon it disappeared into the dark

In the palm of my hand I felt it burning out
Color of the gold, a comet of sincere true kindness
Touching the gorgeous mane, so beautiful 
"Deep in the shadows I held tightly within my hands”
