[Japanese]
天の川が天に輝き
君だけのために瞬いている
そして月がやって来て
君に「おやすみ」と告げる
君のために歌う、母のために歌う
世界と、世界中の人々のために祈っている
僕らはみんなを大切に思っているんだ
その気持ちをみんなに見せてあげよう
ああ、眠る我が子よ
世界はとても荒れている
でも君は自分だけの楽園を築いた
それが君を包み込む理由の一つ、眠る我が子よ
もし世界中の人々が
君のような心を持っていたら
争いも戦争もなくなるだろう
地球には永遠の平和が訪れるだろう
もし王や指導者たちが
君をこんな風に見ることができたら
彼らは地球を優しく抱きしめるだろう
君が遊ぶ姿を見守ることを学ぶだろう
ああ、眠る我が子よ
世界はとても荒れている
でも君は自分だけの楽園を築いた
それが君を包み込む理由の一つ、眠る我が子よ
僕は眠る我が子を包み込む
君を荒れた世界から遠ざけてあげる
君を世界から遠ざける
荒れた世界から遠ざける
ああ、眠る我が子よ
世界はとても荒れている
でも君は自分だけの楽園を築いた
それが君を包み込む理由の一つ、眠る我が子よ
ああ、眠る我が子よ
世界はとても荒れている
でも君は自分だけの楽園を築いた
それが君を包み込む理由の一つ、眠る我が子よ
