[English]

I am sitting on the moon

Watching planet blue, hello

...

Looking all around

Rotating without sound

Where are you?

...

Where are you?

I am sitting on the moon

Where are you?

I am missing... I'm missing you

...

I came from very far

A little unknown star, hello

...

I don't know what to do

It feels so cold and blue, without you

Where are you

Where, where are you?

I am sitting on the moon

Where are you

I am missing

I'm missing you

...

Where are you?

I am sitting on the moon

Where, where are you?

I am missing

I am missing you

Where are you?

I am sitting on the moon

Where are you?

I am missing

I am missing you.
