[English]

At the end of today, you close your eyes

Before falling asleep

If you smile at the flowing images

That's true happiness, isn't it?

You,

In a fantasy world that encourages you,

I want to appear every day

Anywhere,

To you, so bright like sunlight

Welcoming you to the night sky

Starry Love of Heaven

I'm quite sure you need me

Tracing the dots, weaving together this melody now

Wherever you are is fine, just imagine it

Faster than light, I can come to you

Even when apart, constellations align

Starry Love of Heaven

I'm quite sure you need me

Don't let go of that hand

I don't want to part with you

Even if we can't meet

I'm in your sky

Like looking back after passing by

The beauty I won’t forget for long

Reminds me of the days when everyone was happy—like a starry sky

Overcoming something, a strong feeling called love

Not far away, I want to find it

The future you've always believed in

Even if you don't believe in magic

The sky that produces magic somehow believes

Starry Love of Heaven

I'm quite sure you need me

Like the expanding sky, stay free

Wherever you are, just imagine it

Faster than light, I can come to you

Falling into each other's dreams

Even when sleeping, don’t let go of that hand

Let me stay by your side

On nights I can't sleep

So I can rest

With a hand loosening the lightbulb

Ending today for you

Starry Love of Heaven

I'm quite sure you need me

Tracing and weaving our only constellation

Wherever you are, just imagine it

Faster than light, I can come to you

Even when apart, constellations line up

Starry Love of Heaven

I'm quite sure you need me

Don’t let go of that hand, I want to stay with you

Shining right by your side

[Japanese]

今日の終わりに あなたが目を閉じて

眠りにつく前に

流れ出す映像に 微笑むのなら

幸せでしょう

あなたを

勇気づけている妄想の世界に

ぼくは毎日登場したい

どこまでも

陽だまりのように明るいあなたを

迎える 夜空へ

Starry Love of Heaven

I'm quite sure you need me

点を辿って紡ぐ いま旋律を爪弾く

どこにいてもいい 思い描いてよ

光よりも速く 会いにいける

離れていても 並ぶ星座

Starry Love of Heaven

I'm quite sure you need me

その手を離さないで

離れたくない

会えなくても

あなたの空にいる

通り過ぎてから振り向くような

美しさほど、ずっと忘れない

みんなが幸せだった頃を思い出すような 星空さ

何かを乗り越えていく 強い想いを愛と呼ぶ

遠くない 見つけたい

ずっとあなたが信じた未来

魔法は信じなくても

魔法を産む空はなぜか信じている

Starry Love of Heaven

I'm quite sure you need me

広がる空のように あなたは自由でいて

どこにいてもいい 思い描いてよ

光よりも速く 会いにいける

それぞれ夢の中へ堕ちて

眠るときも その手を離さないで

そばにいさせて

眠れない夜は

やすめるように

電球を緩める手で

今日を終わらせてあげる

Starry Love of Heaven

I'm quite sure you need me

点を辿って紡ぐ 二人だけの星座

どこにいてもいい 思い描いてよ

光よりも速く 会いにいける

離れていても 並ぶ星座

Starry Love of Heaven

I'm quite sure you need me

その手を離さないで 一緒にいたい

そばで光る
