[English]

Just fly away

Higher and higher, far away

Everything in front of me turns pitch black

It's alright, just for a moment

I just want to fly a little more

Trying to escape this cage, yeah

Hear only the voice calling me, and I'll run to you. Say my name

Faintly shimmering sparkle, with wings you gave me

Run away, run away, let's get out of here right now

Running towards you

You're so bright like Venus

Just fly away, guided by the light

Wake up, wake up now, higher and higher

Far away, don’t hesitate, I’ll keep moving forward

Take me, take me to that place

You are my Venus

Both the dark night and the bright day

You’re in my sky

You and I, always by my side (You are)

Shining, my Venus

You're so bright like Venus

No way, whenever I want to run away, when I’m on the edge, that’s right

Lift your face, look at the sky, feeling your gaze, feel your love

Filled my loneliness and emptiness

I was nothing until you came into my life

Met you along my journey

Found the answer, you are everything

Breathless, I finally found it

Together, to that night sky, come on

Don’t worry, hold my hand tight, yeah

Looking only at you

You're so bright like Venus

Just fly away, guided by the light

Wake up, wake up now, higher and higher

Far away, don’t hesitate, I will keep moving forward

Take me, take me to that place

You are my Venus

Someday or some way, you'll understand

You and I, met each other

In the middle of the path of our future

Let it bloom forever

Just fly away, guided by the light

Wake up, wake up now, higher and higher

Far away, don’t hesitate, I’ll keep advancing

Take me, take me to that place

You are my Venus

Both the dark night and the bright day

You’re in my sky

You and I, always by my side (You are)

Shining, my Venus

You're so bright like Venus

顔あげ空をみて 君に見つめられ Feel your love

孤独や空虚を満たした

I was nothing till you came into my life

旅の途中で君と逢えて

Found the answer 君が全て

息が切れてようやく見つけたんだ
