[English]

Moon Pride - I want to be your strength

Tears stream down my cheeks - My eyes burn red

Fiercely like lightning - Someone shouts out love

Even in the darkest - Darkness

We're not alone, right? - Moonlight

Illuminates - Us

Ah - A girl has pride she can't yield

That is - Not entrusting her fate to a prince

But the will to fight for herself

Shiny Make-Up, shining - Gathering the starry sky

I'm not just a weak - Being to be protected

Even if tossed by waves of sadness - And scorched by flames of anger

Dazzling like lightning - I vow eternal love

Even if we're - Apart now

We're not alone, right? - Moonlight

Connects - Us

Ah - A girl has an invincible weapon

That is - A gaze that understands weakness

And the strength to accept everything

Shiny Make-Up, sparkling - Embraced by the starry sky

A bond that transcends time - Gives me courage

I long for you - It's painful

I want to cry

I want to see you - I'm lonely

My love feels like it's about to run away

In this vast universe - No matter how many times I'm reborn

I'll fall in love with you

Shiny Make-Up, soaring - Beyond the starry sky

Even in a world of repeating sins - I can believe in the future

So - Shiny Make-Up, I'll fight - Clad in the starry sky

A new legend - Begins from here now

La La Pretty Guardian - SAILOR MOON

[Japanese]

Moon Pride あなたの力になりたい

涙は頬を伝い 瞳は紅く燃える

稲妻のように激しく 誰かが愛を叫ぶ

例えどんな 暗闇でも

一人じゃないよね？ 私達を

照らす Moonlight

嗚呼 女の子にも譲れぬ矜持がある

それは 王子様に運命投げず

自ら戦う意志

Shiny Make-Up　輝くよ 星空を集めて

ただ護られるだけの か弱い存在じゃないわ

悲しみの波に揺られ 怒りの焔に灼かれても

稲妻のように眩く 永遠の愛を誓う

例え今は 離れてても

独りじゃないよね？ 私達を

繋ぐ Moonlight

嗚呼 女の子には無敵の武器がある

それは 弱さに寄り添う眼差しと

全て受け入れる強さ

Shiny Make-Up　煌めくよ 星空に抱かれて

時を超えた絆が 私に勇気をくれる

恋しくて 切なくて

泣きたくなるよ

会いたくて 淋しくて

駈け出しそうな恋心

この広い宇宙で 何度生まれ変わっても

あなたに恋をする

Shiny Make-Up　羽ばたくよ 星空の彼方へ

罪が廻る世界でも 未来を信じられる

――だから Shiny Make-Up　戦うよ 星空を纏って

新しい伝説が 今ここから始まる

La La Pretty Guardian SAILOR MOON
