[English]

Maybe you're a little strong and always putting on a brave face

If you feel like crying, you don’t have to hold back. Just cry whenever you need to

Maybe you're so kind, always trying to handle everything alone

If you get tired walking a bit, you can put down your burden

It’s okay

It’s okay, really

It’s okay

It’s really okay

See, the night is getting late

See, the night is getting late

On a night when the stars have disappeared, what do you wish for?

When you look into the distance, what do your eyes see?

Look beside you more than at the sky where the stars have vanished, notice

Memories? There’s something more certain than that

Maybe that’s true

Maybe you're very delicate and in your heart, you want to know everything but

If there are things you don't want to talk about, you don’t have to

I’m just here, close beside you. Even if I can’t match the angels

I don’t know what I can do, but I want to do something

It’s okay

It’s okay, really

It’s okay

I feel anxious too

On a night when the stars have disappeared, what do you pray for?

When you reach out into the distance, what do you desire?

Look beside you more than at the sky where the stars have vanished, notice

God? There’s something more certain than that

Maybe that’s true

See, the night is getting late

See, the night is getting late

On a night when the stars have disappeared, I’ll shine on you

Even on a night when I have no voice, I’ll sing a song

Even on a night when my dreams fade, I’ll be by your side. Notice

Notice, there’s something more certain than anything else

This is love

See, dawn is breaking

See, dawn is breaking

...

[Japanese]

多分 君は少し強がりで いつも笑顔作ってばかり

泣きたいなら 無理しなくてもいい すぐに泣けばいい

多分 君はとても優しくて 一人で抱え込むばかり

少し歩くのに疲れたら 荷物をおろせばいい

大丈夫だよ

大丈夫だから

大丈夫だよ

大丈夫だから

ほら 夜が更けるよ

ほら 夜が更ける

星の消えた夜に 何を願うの?

遠くを見てる目には 何が映るの?

星が消えた空より隣を見てよ 気付いて

思い出? それより確かなものがある

多分 そうなんだ

多分 君はとても繊細で ほんとは全部知りたいけど

話したくないことだったら 話さなくてもいい

ただ私は傍に寄り添って 神様にはかなわなくても

何ができるかもわからない でも何かしたいな

大丈夫だよ

大丈夫だから

大丈夫だよ

私も不安だよ

星の消えた夜に 何を祈るの?

遠くへ伸ばす手には 何を望むの?

星が消えた空より隣を見てよ 気付いて

神様? それより確かなことがある

多分 そうなんだ

ほら 夜が更けるよ

ほら 夜が更ける

星の消えた夜に 君を照らすよ

声をなくした夜も 歌を歌うよ

夢が覚めた夜でも 隣にいるよ 気付いて

気付いて 何より確かなことがある

これが 愛なんだ

ほら 夜が明けるよ

ほら 夜が明ける
