[English]

Can I become close to you?

Before this world comes to an end.

Surely, someday, a fleeting flower will wither.

Now, with everything I can do,

Smile and smile, my beloved.

Clap your hands at the uncertain future,

So that you and the one you cherish are happy.

While praying, sing a song.

Look up at the shining Aldebaran.

The reason behind these overflowing tears.

Because we can meet again, smiling like this.

Just go where your soul leads you.

Weave, weave the threads of our hearts.

To not lose to these deceptive times.

If your heart trembles at an uncertain tomorrow,

I feel the same, my friend.

The silence when we can't meet,

Feels like an endless night.

In that loneliness, we come to know our love.

So…

Smile and smile, my beloved.

Clap your hands at the uncertain future,

So that you and the one you cherish are happy.

While praying, sing a song.

While praying, sing a song.

[Japanese]

君と私は仲良くなれるかな

この世界が終わるその前に

きっといつか儚く枯れる花

今 私の出来うる全てを

笑って笑って　愛しい人

不穏な未来に　手を叩いて

君と君の大切な人が幸せであるそのために

祈りながら sing a song

見上げてごらん煌めくアルデバラン

溢れてくる涙の理由を

またこうして笑って会えるから

ただ魂の赴く方へ

紡いで紡いだ　心の糸

ペテンな時代に　負けないように

もしも君が不確かな明日に心震わせているのなら

私だってそうよ friend

会えない時の静寂が

永遠にも思える夜

その孤独に互いの愛を知るの

だから

笑って笑って　愛しい人

不穏な未来に　手を叩いて

君と君の大切な人が幸せであるそのために

祈りながら sing a song

祈りながら sing a song
