[English]

You always wanted to see the moonlight.

And I, I just wanted to see your smile.

There is a light not far away from us, from us.

The light will shine with the clouds.

We're gonna fly up into the blue sky.

So slowly.

And we held the moon in our arms.

You always had me.

You're always shining.

I've seen a wonderful sight.

With a bright glow.

You are my sea, you are my sunshine.

The star, the moon.

There is a light not far away from us, from us.

The light will shine with the clouds.

We're gonna fly up into the blue sky.

So slowly.

And we held the moon in our arms.

You always had me.

You're always shining.
