[English]

Even when we’re apart

Whenever I gaze up into the night sky

Ever shining and connecting us is that same Blue Moon

Lalalalala...

Lalalalala...

I remember when we first met

Seasons have passed since then, haven’t they?

The snowy silver world that spread

Turned colorful ever since I met you

So colorful

I just realized we can spend time together

Now winter feels so warm, doesn't it?

Your warmth lasts inside my heart

Warm inside

They pile up, every warm Memory

In an instant, like a snowflake

Happy times will melt away

Being apart makes me so lonely

I want to tell you, this feeling that won't fade away

I'm fluttering down to you

My heart is bound to yours

Even though I can't be with you

It lights up from that same Blue Moon

Even when we're apart

When I look up at the night sky

Ever shining and connecting us is that same Blue Moon

Every time we laugh, our breath turns white

I can see your Smile from a distance

Falling from the sky

Why does the snow taste so sweet?

I want to lock up this lovely moment

Make it freeze

Until the time we cuddle again

Memories spun by the two of us

Wrapping my frozen heart

Though I can't be by your side now

I want to tell you, this love that won't fade away

I soar up to you

My heart is bound with yours

Even though I can't be with you

It lights up from that same Blue Moon

Even when we're apart

When I look up at the night sky

Ever shining and ever connecting us is that same Blue Moon

Blue moon light, Shining over us so bright

Blue moon light, Shining over us so bright

I can walk through any blizzard

If I think of you

I'm sure we'll meet again soon

My heart is bound with yours

Even though I can't be with you

It lights up from that same Blue Moon

Even when we're apart

When I look up at the night sky

Ever shining and connecting us is that same Blue Moon

Lalalalala...

Lalalalala...

Even when we're apart

I want to share with you, this feeling

Isn’t it beautiful? Hope you’re watching this same Blue Moon
