Above my small room, as tall as I am
Beautiful starlight
Fills the space
Countless stars
Gently touch
My weary self
And within my heart
Filled with
Tears, they wipe away
Don't hurt too much
Holding me tight
Comforting me
Telling me to sleep well
Even if it hurts so much
That I can't walk
Even if tears blur my vision
In front of my love
That I can't have
I will smile
Even for a moment by your side
I will cherish
The happy memories
Like the stars
Embroidered in my eyes
Forever
They come to me like a dream
Especially bright
One of my stars
Shining dazzlingly
Comes down upon my shoulder
Don't be sad too often
Holding my hand tight
Touching me
Warmly wrapping me up
Even if it hurts so much
That I can't walk
Even if tears blur my vision
In front of my love
That I can't have
I will smile
Even for a moment by your side
I will cherish
The happy memories
Like the stars
Oh, I won't cry today
Even if tears fill my eyes
Like those stars over there
I will smile
Ah
I will cherish all the happy memories
In my heart
Like the stars
Embroidered in my eyes
Forever
