Lyrics

tsukiakari yanagi ga yureru watashi wa robou no tsubute
omoihaseru anata no sugata hitsuji wo kazoeru you ni

wakare yuku imi ga aru nara semete kanashimanaide
shijima kara hanareta sora e hitosuji no ai wo komete

donna yoru datte ushinai tsuzuketatte
tomo ni ikite kitarou mabataku you ni

nanika wo motomete tsuki wo miteita
arashi ni obieru watashi no mae ni
arawareta no ga anata de yokatta
marude nanimo kamo ga nakatta ka no you ni
kono hi wa kietari shinai kitto

sono mado wo kaze ga tatakeba wazuka ni akehanashite
tada hitotsu sou tada hitotsu katarienu koe de sakebu

umarekawatta to shite omoidasenakutatte
mitsukete miseru darou anata no sugata

subete wo moyashite tsuki wo miteita
dareka ga sore wo awaremu to shite mo
anata ga ireba shiawase dattan da
oyoso tadashiku nado nakatta to shite mo

namae wo yonde mou ichido dake
yasashiku tsutsumu sono yawai koe de
tsuki wo tayori ni tsukanda eda ga anata datta

nanika wo motomete tsuki wo miteita
arashi ni obieru watashi no mae ni
arawareta no ga anata de yokatta
marude nanimo kamo ga nakatta ka no you ni
kono hi wa kietari shinai kitto

English Translation

In the moonlight the willow sways, on this roadside I am but a stone
Visions of you come to me like counting sheep

If there is any meaning to our parting ways, then you need not be sad
From the silence to a distant sky, fill your heart with an unwavering love

No matter what night, no matter the cost
Haven’t we been living this life together as if in the blink of an eye

I was yearning for something gazing at the moon
I was so afraid of the storm, when you appeared before me
And I’m so glad that it was you
It’s as if nothing before this moment ever mattered
This flame will never go out, ever

If the wind knocks on your window, leave it ever so slightly ajar
There’s only, yes, there’s only one, an unutterable voice screaming out

Were we to be reborn, unable to remember
Somehow I know I’d still find you

I was burning everything gazing at the moon
Even though I might have been pitied for it
I was happy as long as you were there
Even though we might have been wrong about so much
We will never disappear

Call my name just one more time
With that soft voice which envelops me so gently
Guided by the moonlight, I seized a branch and that branch was you

I was yearning for something gazing at the moon
I was so afraid of the storm, when you appeared before me
And I’m so glad that it was you
It’s as if nothing before this moment ever mattered
This flame will never go out, ever
