まだらな日々に　夜は長く Madara na hibi ni yoru ha nagaku

In patchy days, the nights are so long

エコーは仄か　声を探すの Eko wa honoka koe wo sagasuno

Echoes are faint; I'm searching for your voice

こんな夜空に　まだひとつだけ Konna yozorani mada hitotsu dake

Under this night sky, there's still just one

灯りがあるようだ Akari ga aru yoda

Like a light shining somewhere out there

欲しい未来は　そんなに無くて Hoshii mirai wa sonnani nakute

I don't really need much in terms of the future

君がいるなら　それくらいだよ Kimi ga iru nara sorekurai dayo

If you’re here, that's enough for me

その次くらいに　僕がいれたら Sono tsugi kuraini boku ga iretara

Next to that, if I could be there

それでいいのにな Soredeii nonina

That would be just fine

「会いたい」の改行と定型 「Aitai」no kaigyo to teikei

The line break and pattern of 'I want to see you'

いたいの　いたいの　とんでいけ Itaino itaino tonde ike

The wanting, the longing—fly away

この感情は君がくれたの Kono kanjo wa kimi ga kuretano

This feeling, you gave it to me

その瞬間を愛と名付けた Sono shunkan wo ai to nazuketa

I named this moment love

届かぬスピカ　変われぬ僕が Todokanu supika kawarenu boku ga

Distant Spica, I, unable to change

ずっと　ずっと　手を伸ばしてた　嗚呼 Zutto zutto te wo nobashiteta aa

Have always, always reached out my hand—ah

願い事が増えるたびに Negaigoto ga fueru tabi ni

Whenever my wishes increase

ぼやける朝　星を集めた Boyakeru asa hoshi wo atsumeta

Misty mornings, I gathered the stars

近づくほど　辛くなるなんて Chikazuku hodo tsurakunaru nante

Getting closer only makes it more painful

どうかしてる　あぁ、どうかしてる Dokashiteru aa, dokashiteru

This is crazy—ah, this is madness

君は僕に咲いた一等星 Kimi ha boku ni saita ittosei

You are the brightest star that bloomed for me

眩しいからこんな心は Mabushii kara konna kokoro ha

Because it’s dazzling, such a heart

どこかへ捨ててしまおうか Dokoka he sutete shimaoka

Should I just throw it away somewhere?

なんてこれも馬鹿な空想だ Nante koremo bakana kuso da

No, this is just another foolish fantasy

愛の体温と酩酊 Ai no taion to meitei

The warmth of love and drunkenness

「痛い」と「居たい」をループして 「Itai」to「Itai」wo rupu shite

Looping between 'It hurts' and 'I want to stay'

この感情は君がくれたの Kono kanjo ha kimi ga kuretano

This feeling, you gave it to me

その瞬間を愛と名付けた Sono syunkan wo ai to naduketa

I named this moment love

惑える星を　迷える僕を Madoeru hoshi wo mayoeru boku wo

Dazed stars, lost me in confusion

そっと　そっと　照らしてくれた Sotto sotto terashite kureta

Gently, softly, you lit the way for me

この永遠を君にあげよう Kono eien wo kimi ni ageyo

I'll give you this eternity

その瞬間は僕でいられる Sono shunkan ha boku de irareru

I can be myself in that moment

彼方のスピカ　変わらず星が Kanata no supika kawarazu hoshi ga

The distant Spica, unchanging stars

今日も　明日も　輝いている　嗚呼 Kyomo asumo kagayaiteiru aa

Today and tomorrow, shining on—ah

嗚呼 aa

Ah
