Lyrics & Translation
Suddenly, you stood up and said,
“Let’s go stargazing tonight.”
“For once, you’ve said something good, haven’t you?”
We all said that and laughed.
Down a path with no lights,
We walked along, foolishly excited.
All the loneliness and worries I carried,
Looking up from a world of complete darkness,
The night sky looked as if stars were raining down.
When was it, I wonder, that I started
Chasing after you?
Please, I’m begging you,
Please don’t be surprised, just listen to this:
My feelings.
I finally found my Orihime-sama,
But where is my Hikoboshi-sama?
Like this, I’m all alone.
You, happily beside me,
I couldn’t say a thing.
The truth is, I probably knew it
Somewhere deep down about you.
I don’t feel like I’ve been found.
“No, don’t cry,”
That’s what I told myself.
Ah,
I act tough, but I’m such a coward,
I pretended to be uninterested.
But,
The pain piercing my chest only grew stronger.
Is this what it means to be falling in love?
“What do you want to do? Tell me.”
My heart whispers,
“I want to be by your side.”
The truth is cruel.
I didn’t say it. I couldn’t say it.
There’s no going back.
That summer day, the glittering stars,
I can still remember them now.
Your smiling face, your angry face,
I loved them so much.
It’s strange, isn’t it? Even though I knew.
A secret just for me, that you’ll never know.
Beyond the night, a distant memory of
You pointing your finger.
