Lyrics

sotto kokoro no oku hikari yadoshita
tomoshibi no manimani

tachikomeru yaegasumi samayoi aruki
awaki yume kara same

hitosuji hoho tsutatta namida no ato
nijinda sekai wo irodoru kage

yoru no tobari yureru onibi tooi hi no kioku
kakuriyo e izanae

yurari yurari maichiru sakura
kokoro wo usube ni ni some yuku omoi
anata no yokogao tsukiyo ga terashidasu miagereba
kirari kirari negai no kakera
ikusen no hoshi no you ni kirameite
kokoro no yoiyami ni asahi ga noboru you tomoshibi no manimani

utsuroi yuku toki no kaze deai wakare
meguri megurite mata

hanasaki mi wo musubi kareta tsukihi
ano hi hohoemu anata no kage

mukau saki ni tatsu kagaribi ukabu sorabune yo
utsushi yo e izanae

kururi kururi uzumaku rinne
kanjou no nami ga yosete wa kaeshite
anata no hitomi ni utsuri shi kono egao shinjireba
hirari hirari ochiru shizuku ga
komorebi no you ni yasashiku tsutsunde
kokoro no kizuato sotto keshisatte yuku harukaze no manimani

hitotsu futatsu kisetsu wo kasane
mittsu yottsu to tsumuida kizuna
sore wa yagate dareka no egao sakasu deshou

ushinau koto wa tayasu ikeredo
tsumiageru koto ni imi ga aru nara
anata no soba ni iru tada sore dake

akaneiro ni irozuku sora nagaki yo ga akete

yurari yurari maichiru sakura
kokoro wo usubeni ni some yuku omoi
anata no yokogao tsukiyo ga terashidasu miagereba
kirari kirari negai no kakera
ikusen no hoshi no you ni kirameite
kokoro no yoiyami ni asahi ga noboru you tomoshibi no manimani

English Translation

A light from deep in my heart
Lantern gleam

Shrouded in layered haze, wandering
Awaken from a fleeting dream

A tear streak down a cheek
Colored shadows over a blurred world

Night’s curtain, flickering wisps, memories of days long past
An invitation to a hidden realm

Sway, sway, dancing petals
Emotions casting my heart in light crimson
Your profile is as the moon on a clear night, look up and see
Twinkle, twinkle, fragments of a dream
Flicker like thousands of stars
Lantern gleam, a sun rising from the depths of my heart

Shifting winds of time come together and break apart
Around yet again

Flowers bloom, bear fruit, and wither away
The shadow of your smile that day

Up ahead, a dancing fire, ship into the sky
An invitation to the real world

Round and round, a spiral of reincarnation
Waves of emotion ebb and flow
If I believe in the smile reflected in your eyes
Flutter, flutter, falling dew drops
Gently enveloping like sunlight through the trees
A spring wind, healing a wounded heart

Seasons pass one and two
Three and four bonds forged
Who’s smile awaits at the end?

To lose is simple
But if there is meaning behind building up
You’ll be there, that is all

The sky turns rosy red, the long night ending

Sway, sway, dancing petals
Emotions casting my heart in light crimson
Your profile is as the moon on a clear night, look up and see
Twinkle, twinkle, fragments of a dream
Flicker like thousands of stars
Lantern gleam, a sun rising from the depths of my heart
